AMD and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have announced a joint deployment of AMD’s Helios rack‑scale AI platform across India, marking the company’s first AI‑centric data‑center project in the country. The partnership will deliver a turnkey infrastructure that combines AMD’s Instinct MI455X GPUs, next‑generation EPYC Venice CPUs, Pensando Vulcano network interface cards, and the open ROCm software stack to support a 200 MW data‑center blueprint designed for large‑scale AI workloads.
Helios is built on open standards such as the Open Compute Project (OCP), UALink, and the Ultra‑Ethernet Consortium (UEC). The platform’s architecture integrates high‑bandwidth GPUs, low‑latency CPUs, and purpose‑built networking to deliver performance and efficiency gains that are critical for modern AI training and inference workloads. The inclusion of AMD’s ROCm stack further enables developers to leverage open‑source tools and libraries for accelerated AI development.
India’s AI market is expanding rapidly, driven by national initiatives such as the IndiaAI Mission and the India Semiconductor Mission. By deploying Helios in India, AMD taps into a growing demand for AI infrastructure while positioning itself as a direct competitor to NVIDIA in a key emerging market. The open‑standards approach also differentiates Helios from proprietary solutions, offering customers flexibility and future‑proofing for evolving AI workloads.
"AI adoption is accelerating from pilots to large‑scale deployments, and that shift requires a new blueprint for compute infrastructure. With ‘Helios,’ we are delivering an open, rack‑scale AI platform designed for performance, efficiency, and long‑term flexibility. Together with TCS, we are enabling enterprises across India to deploy AI at scale today while building the compute foundation of tomorrow," said Dr. Lisa Su, Chair and CEO of AMD.
"This collaboration lays the foundation for AMD’s first ‘Helios’ powered AI infrastructure in India. By combining our strengths in AI, connectivity, sustainable power, and advanced data‑center engineering, we are poised to deliver state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure solutions for AI companies and global enterprises. We are thrilled to deepen our longstanding partnership with AMD as we expand our participation in the AI ecosystem – Infrastructure to Intelligence," added K. Krithivasan, MD and CEO of TCS.
