TCS and C-DAC join hands to boost India's sovereign cloud capabilities

Hyderabad, Sep 12 (UNI) Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, today said it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to accelerate the development of India’s sovereign cloud ecosystem.
As India doubles down on self-reliant and secure digital infrastructure, this collaboration aims to deliver scalable and AI-enabled cloud platforms that align with India’s data localisation mandates and support the digital transformation of critical public sector services, the IT giant said in a release.
The collaboration with C-DAC, India’s premier R&D institution under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), will develop and integrate indigenous innovations into TCS’ sovereign cloud stack. This move will support the secure and compliant hosting of critical government applications, including e-Sanjeevani, Dial 112, and workloads from central ministries.
The partnership not only ensures adherence to stringent data protection standards but also enables faster enterprise adoption by enhancing security, compliance, and performance across key sectors such as healthcare, defence, smart cities, and BFSI.
Magesh Ethirajan, Director General - CDAC, said, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in India’s journey towards technological self-reliance. By bringing together C-DAC’s expertise in indigenous innovation with TCS’s deep industry presence and execution strength, we aim to accelerate the development, deployment, and long-term sustainability of sovereign cloud platforms.”
This collaboration reflects a broader strategic intent, which aims to reduce reliance on global hyperscalers by building a robust, future-ready sovereign cloud ecosystem driven by OpenStack and indigenous technologies. Through joint efforts and public sector outreach, TCS and C-DAC aim to position sovereign cloud platforms as the default choice for India’s digital transformation journey. UNI KNR VNS SSP
