TCS and AMD have announced a collaboration to help enterprises move AI from pilot projects into full scale production across industries. The partnership focuses on generative AI, hybrid cloud, high performance computing, and AI powered digital workplaces, as companies struggle to turn experimentation into real business outcomes.
The collaboration, announced on January 14 from Mumbai and Santa Clara, brings together TCS’s systems integration and industry expertise with AMD’s computing and AI hardware portfolio.
The two companies will co-develop industry specific AI and generative AI solutions aimed at modernising legacy systems, improving cloud and edge deployments, and accelerating enterprise wide AI adoption.
Under the agreement, TCS will also upskill and certify its workforce on AMD’s hardware and software platforms. Both firms plan to jointly invest in building a pool of talent that can design, deploy, and scale next generation AI systems for global clients.
Industry focused generative AI frameworks will be created for life sciences, manufacturing, and BFSI, covering areas such as drug discovery, smart factories, cognitive quality engineering, and intelligent risk management.
K Krithivasan, CEO and MD of TCS, said the collaboration is aimed at helping organisations cross the gap between AI trials and real deployments.
“By combining TCS’s deep industry expertise with AMD’s high performance computing capabilities, we are enabling organisations to move from AI experimentation to AI at scale and deployment,” he said, adding that the partnership also supports TCS’s ambition to become the world’s largest AI led technology services company.
AMD chair and CEO Dr Lisa Su said that as AI adoption accelerates, enterprises need more powerful and open computing foundations. “Through our work with TCS, we are helping customers translate AI innovation into new growth opportunities across industries,” she said.
On the technology side, TCS will work with AMD to integrate Ryzen powered client solutions for digital workplace transformation, while using AMD EPYC CPUs, AMD Instinct GPUs, and AI accelerators to modernise hybrid cloud and high performance computing environments.
AMD’s embedded computing portfolio, including adaptive system on chips and FPGAs, will also be used to drive edge AI, inference, and industrial digitalisation.
TCS said its experience in building solutions on advanced semiconductor platforms complements AMD’s computing roadmap, allowing the two companies to co create AI and computing solutions that are designed for enterprise scale.
The partnership aims to give companies a more practical path to deploying AI across cloud, data centre, and edge environments as the push to operationalise GenAI continues to grow.
