AMD and TCS Collaborate to Launch Helios AI Infrastructure in India

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have announced a significant collaboration to deploy AMD's "Helios" rack-scale artificial intelligence (AI) architecture in India. This initiative aims to support the country's national AI initiatives and enhance the capabilities of enterprises transitioning from pilot projects to full-scale AI deployments. The partnership will leverage TCS's subsidiary, HyperVault AI Data Center Limited, to co-develop a robust AI infrastructure designed to support up to 200 megawatts of capacity.

The Helios platform will utilize AMD's advanced technologies, including the AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next-generation AMD EPYC "Venice" CPUs, and AMD Pensando Vulcano network interface cards. These components are engineered to deliver high-performance, scalable compute solutions capable of supporting AI "factories" and high-density workloads. The collaboration is positioned to accelerate AI adoption across various sectors in India, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing time-to-deployment for enterprises.

TCS established HyperVault in 2025 with the vision of providing gigawatt-scale, secure, and reliable AI-ready infrastructure for hyperscalers and global enterprises. This partnership builds on previous collaborations between AMD and TCS aimed at modernizing hybrid environments and facilitating AI adoption. The strategic alliance is part of a broader trend in India, which ranks third globally in AI competitiveness, trailing only the United States and China.

Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD, emphasized the need for a new compute infrastructure blueprint as AI adoption shifts from pilot projects to large-scale deployments. She stated, "Together with TCS, we are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow." K. Krithivasan, MD and CEO of TCS, remarked that this collaboration lays the foundation for AMD’s first Helios-powered AI infrastructure in India, combining their strengths in AI, connectivity, and advanced data center engineering.

While the partnership has been largely welcomed, some industry observers express concerns about the competitive landscape, particularly regarding AMD's ability to challenge established players like Nvidia in the rapidly growing AI market. Critics point out that Nvidia currently dominates AI chip deployments, capturing approximately 99% of the market share, while AMD is working to increase its presence.

The collaboration between AMD and TCS is expected to lead to the rapid development of AI infrastructure across India, with no specific timeline provided for the build-out. The companies will also engage with hyperscalers and AI-focused enterprises to expedite data center expansions, further solidifying India's position in the global AI landscape.
