TCS launches NVIDIA unit to support AI adoption by enterprises

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), in collaboration with NVIDIA, has launched a new unit to support its customers on the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries.

TCS will use the new platform, which builds on its collaboration with NVIDIA for more than 5 years, to develop industry-specific solutions and offerings.

Part of TCS’ AI.Cloud business, the new unit will design and deliver curated AI adoption strategies and customised AI models to suit the needs of individual enterprises.

TCS said it will leverage its global centres of excellence (CoEs) and NVIDIA’s AI platform comprising accelerated computing and AI software as well as the NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms.

TCS and NVIDIA are already collaborating in areas like AI manufacturing, AI spectrum for the BFSI segment, cognitive visual receiving, and AI-based autonomous vehicle platform.

These include TCS Manufacturing AI for Industrials, which leverages the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to transform raw data into actionable insights for manufacturing enterprises;

TCS AI Spectrum for BFSI, which offers innovative and secure ways of infusing the power of LLMs and AI into BFSI lines at enterprise scale;

TCS Cognitive Visual Receiving, a holistic composite AI offering built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse that makes retail warehousing accurate, efficient and quick through automated quality check, product identification, measurement and attribute recognition; and

TCS AI-Native Telco Offerings, built on NVIDIA AI and NVIDIA Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin to enable telcos create custom telco domain-specific models faster and function as autonomous network.

According to TCS, its recent study of AI adoption by businesses has found that it differs with the nature of the enterprise concerned and hence the need for customisation.

Besides TCS, Tech Mahindra, another leader in technology consulting, is establishing a centre of excellence enabled by NVIDIA AI Enterprise and Omniverse. It is targeted at helping drive advances in sovereign LLM frameworks, agentic AI and physical AI.

Wipro and Infosys are also building solutions using the NVIDIA AI stack and expanding into physical AI with Omniverse.

Manufacturers in India, especially in sectors like automotive, industrial machinery, electronics, textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, are increasingly tapping into digital twins and generative AI to accelerate factory planning and drive automation.

Scale and efficiency are essential for an economy that seeks to position itself as a global manufacturing powerhouse and hit the $1 trillion export target by 2028, according to Bain & Company.

Ola Electric, the largest electric scooter maker in India, announced it has developed the Ola Digital Twin platform on NVIDIA Omniverse, which helped it speed up manufacturing process by 20 per cent.

Ola sait it is using the ODT platform to plan and build its next-generation Future Factory — India’s largest integrated and automated electric two-wheeler manufacturing plant.

Reliance Industries is adopting Omniverse for planning its new solar panel factory in Jamnagar, India. Reliance is using Omniverse to develop applications for managing 3D data, virtual collaboration, simulation and optimized operations, as well as data integration for planning, design, automation, operation, sustainability and training of their workforce.
