On February 16, 2026, in Santa Clara and Mumbai, a story began that could reshape India’s compute future. TCS and AMD announced an expanded collaboration to bring ‘Helios,’ the next-generation rack-scale AI architecture, to India marking one of the most ambitious steps yet in the nation’s AI infrastructure journey.
At the center of the announcement is HyperVault AI Data Center Limited (HyperVault), TCS’ AI infrastructure subsidiary established in 2025 with a bold mission: deliver gigawatt-scale, AI‑ready data centers capable of powering hyperscalers, national AI programs, and global enterprises. With AMD, HyperVault now gets a technological engine built for sovereign AI scale.
“AI adoption is shifting from pilots to massive-scale deployments. ‘Helios’ gives India the blueprint for that future.”
— Dr. Lisa Su, Chair & CEO, AMD
‘Helios’ is more than a platform it’s AMD’s most advanced AI infrastructure blueprint to date. Powered by AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs, next‑gen AMD EPYC “Venice” CPUs, AMD Pensando Vulcano NICs, and the open ROCm ecosystem, the architecture is designed for performance, long-term flexibility, and energy efficiency at unmatched rack-scale density.
Together, TCS and AMD will deliver a 200 MW AI-ready data center blueprint, providing a standardized, sovereign-ready architecture for India’s AI factories. They will also work with hyperscalers and AI companies to accelerate large-scale facility build‑outs across the country a move aligned with India’s national vision to become a global AI hub.
“Together with AMD, we are building state-of-the-art AI infrastructure for India’s new era of digital leadership.”
— K. Krithivasan, MD & CEO, TCS
For AMD, the collaboration with TCS is a validation of Helios’ design philosophy: performance, openness, and scale. For TCS, it strengthens its role across the full AI value chain “infrastructure to intelligence,” as Krithivasan puts it.
The partnership builds on earlier joint initiatives to modernize hybrid environments and scale enterprise AI adoption. But this announcement marks a turning point: a joint effort to architect the physical AI backbone India will rely on for the next decade.
With Helios, India’s AI ambitions get more than a boost they get a foundation.
