Tata Group to roll out ChatGPT Enterprise across companies, ‘accelerate AI-native transformation’

Tata Group has partnered with OpenAI to deploy ChatGPT Enterprise across the company. Meanwhile, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has also signed up OpenAI as a customer for its data center business.

“As part of our global Stargate initiative, OpenAI and the Tata Group are partnering to develop local, AI-ready data center capacity designed for data residency, security and long-term domestic capacity. OpenAI will be the first customer of Tata Consultancy Services’ HyperVault data center business, with the potential to start with 100 megawatts of capacity and scale to 1 gigawatt over time,” OpenAI said in a blog post.

Speaking about the new partnership, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said: “India is already leading the way in AI adoption, and with its homegrown tech talent, optimism about what AI can do for the country, and strong government support, it is well positioned to help shape its future and how democratic AI is adopted at scale. Through OpenAI for India, we are working together to build the infrastructure, skills, and local partnerships needed to build AI for India, for India, and in India.”

Meanwhile, N Chandrasekaran, Chairman, Tata Sons, said: “This strategic collaboration between OpenAI and Tata Group marks a significant milestone in India’s vision to become a global leader in AI. We are delighted to partner with OpenAI to build state-of-the-art AI infrastructure in India. This is a unique opportunity for OpenAI and TCS to transform industries. Together, we will skill India’s youth and empower them to succeed in the age of AI.”

OpenAI says the partnership with Tata Group will “accelerate the local transformation of AI on a global scale.” Tata Group plans to roll out ChatGPT Enterprise to all its employees in the next few years, starting with TCS employees.
