Turiyam AI Validates Indigenous Hindi LLM on C-DAC’s Rudra Servers, Showcasing India’s Full-Stack AI Capability

Turiyam AI, a pioneer in specialized artificial intelligence compute solutions company from India, announced the successful deployment of its inference engine on an indigenous server architecture at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune. The milestone marks the execution of an Indian-developed AI software stack, integrating model and inference engine within a single domestic compute environment.

As part of the deployment, Turiyam integrated its inference-first compute platform with Rudra 1 & 2 servers, enabling optimized execution of advanced AI workloads on the indigenous server systems. During the validation, a large language model for Hindi language with 37 dialects, was successfully run on Turiyam’s inference engine within the C-DAC infrastructure environment.

This deployment is a significant milestone demonstrating a complete Indian AI execution pipeline, an Indian-developed large language model operating on a domestically built inference engine and hosted on an indigenous server architecture, executed within C-DAC’s high-performance computing environment.

Commenting on this milestone, Shri E Magesh, Director General, C-DAC, said,

C-DAC continues to work closely with industry, academia and research partners to strengthen India’s advanced computing ecosystem. The validation of advanced AI workloads on indigenous computing infrastructure reflects the growing maturity of India’s research and innovation ecosystem. C-DAC is open to enabling platforms that support the development and deployment of next generation technologies.

Sanchayan Sinha, Cofounder and CEO, Turiyam AI, said,

This milestone proves that India can build and execute across the full AI stack, from model to inference engine and advanced compute platforms. By validating performance within C-DAC’s environment, we are demonstrating that advanced AI workloads can run on domestically engineered systems without compromise.

TCS and C-DAC Join Forces to Build India’s Own Cloud

In a major stride toward digital sovereignty, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to co-develop technologies that will form the backbone of India’s sovereign cloud infrastructure.

The collaboration aims to create a secure, scalable, and AI-enabled cloud ecosystem tailored to the needs of India’s public sector, including critical applications in healthcare, emergency response, and governance.

A Cloud Built for India, by India

The sovereign cloud initiative is designed to ensure that sensitive government data and citizen services remain within national borders, aligning with India’s growing emphasis on data localization and digital autonomy. The platform will be built on OpenStack architecture, enhanced by indigenous innovations from C-DAC and enterprise-grade deployment capabilities from TCS.

“This partnership marks a pivotal moment in India’s journey toward technological self-reliance,” said a senior official from C-DAC. “Together, we’re building a cloud that reflects India’s values, priorities, and security needs.”

Real-World Impact

The sovereign cloud will host mission-critical applications such as:

• e-Sanjeevani: India’s national telemedicine service
• Dial 112: Emergency response systems
• Smart city platforms and defence-grade workloads
• Banking and financial services requiring high compliance and data protection

By leveraging TCS’s global cloud expertise and C-DAC’s research capabilities, the partnership is expected to accelerate deployment timelines and ensure robust performance across sectors.

Strategic Significance

The move comes amid growing global concerns over data privacy and dependency on foreign hyperscalers. India’s sovereign cloud is seen as a cornerstone of the Digital India mission, reinforcing national cybersecurity and enabling interoperable, cost-effective cloud services for government agencies.

Industry analysts view this as a model for other nations seeking to balance innovation with sovereignty. With this MoU, India signals its intent to lead in ethical, secure, and inclusive cloud infrastructure development.

IIT Roorkee inks MoU with C-DAC to Establish 1.3 Petaflop High-Performance Computing Facility for Research and Development

The initiative will be funded under the National Supercomputing Mission and aims to foster cutting-edge research in the discipline

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development in Advanced Computing(C-DAC) to establish a state-of the art 1.3 Petaflop High Performance Computing (1.3PF-HPC) Facility to facilitate research and development activities in the presence of Hon'ble Union Minister of State for Education, Communication and Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India Shri Sanjay Dhotre.

The MoU was signed between Prof. Ajit K. Chaturvedi, Director on behalf of IIT Roorkee and Dr. Hemant Darbari, Director General on behalf of CDA. The objective of the MoU is to ensure the Supply, Installation, Commissioning and Operations of state-of-the-art HPC facility and Data Center ecosystem at IIT Roorkee. It is valid for five years. The initiative will be funded under the National Supercomputing Mission- a joint initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

"The National Supercomputing Mission underscores our commitment to fulfill the goal of AatmaNirbhar Bharat. It is a key enabler to prepare a skilled workforce, generate job opportunities and contribute to India's economy. Potential collaborations with international organizations and industry bodies to foster a world-class indigenous research ecosystem in the supercomputing technology is also being explored" said Hon'ble Union Minister of State for Education, Communication and Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India Shri Sanjay Dhotre

"A 1.3 PF supercomputing facility will greatly boost our ability to carry out research on several interesting engineering and science problems. It will also improve our ability to attract more sponsored funding. We were waiting for such high computing power since long and are delighted that finally it has come" said Prof. Ajit K Chaturvedi, Director, IIT Roorkee
