Tata Communications, through its partnership with artificial intelligence solutions developer CoRover.ai, will build on the proposition of Sovereign AI to expand its B2B digital solutions business. The partnership will use Tata Communications’ Sovereign Cloud and digital infrastructure and CoRover.ai’s conversational AI and generative AI solutions for government departments and enterprises across different functions.
Sovereign AI refers to a nation’s capabilities to produce artificial intelligence using its own infrastructure, data, workforce and business networks. The collaboration will aim to drive data sovereignty, cultural relevance, and regulatory compliance within the country’s digital ecosystem.

With increasing calls for data localisation, especially in light of the implementation of the Digital Private Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), enterprises will look for enterprise solutions like data management and storage which use Indian-origin digital infrastructure to ensure compliance with the law of the land.
“As India pursues its Digital India vision, Tata Communications’ expertise in sovereign cloud infrastructure and platform along with CoRover.ai’s industry-first conversational AI capabilities will be a major stride in building a robust AI ecosystem that’s tailored not only to meet current demands but anticipate future needs,” Neelakantan Venkataraman, vice president and global head of cloud and edge business, Tata Communications told Fe.
He said that the firm is already in talks with departments in the Central and many State governments to deploy these solutions with a few at pilot stage, waiting to be scaled up.
He added that a catchment that the partnership can capitalise on is MNCs and other foreign firms that process Indian data. In view of the data localisation regulation, and tightening of data privacy rules in the country data sovereignty is becoming important for enterprises operating in the country. “Though, we plan to take the solutions to all government agencies and enterprises with equal focus,” he said.
“CoRover is proud to be the first Indian company to launch Sovereign AI for India,” Ankush Sabharwal, co-founder and chief executive officer, CoRover.ai said.
“Our collaboration with Tata Communications will redefine how Indian enterprises and government institutions harness AI’s potential while retaining control over data and operations within the country,” he added.
