The rise of technology in India is about to get even higher. The country that has given the world talented engineers is now emerging as the new hub of the world’s biggest AI companies. Now, none other than OpenAI is set to collaborate with TCS to enhance its AI capabilities in India. This partnership is not only crucial for India but could also change the direction of the global AI future.
OpenAI–TCS Partnership: Formal Launch of the ‘Stargate India’ Mission in India
According to a report by the Economic Times, talks between OpenAI and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have reached the final stage. This partnership will lay the foundation for the “Stargate India” chapter—a mission under which the world’s most advanced AI computing infrastructure will be developed in the country.
OpenAI is planning to acquire at least 500 MW of data centre capacity from TCS’s new data center unit, HyperVault. Here, OpenAI is preparing to train and run its future AI models, such as GPT.
The setup of such a massive computing capacity in India is proof that the country is no longer just a participant in the global AI race, but a strong player.

This partnership will also prove to be historic for TCS. The company has long been preparing for an AI-based future. By collaborating with OpenAI, they will develop Agentic AI solutions to be used across major industries like banking, retail, consumer goods, and manufacturing.
This partnership will empower TCS’s strategy, which includes:
- Creating end-to-end AI solutions for the world.
- Reimagining services through AI Agents.
- Making its global workforce AI-ready.
TCS aims to become the world’s largest AI-led service company, and this partnership provides a solid direction toward that dream.

Official Announcement Soon :Final Talks in the US
Reports indicate that the senior leadership team of TCS is in the US, and both companies are discussing the final terms of the partnership.
An official announcement is expected by the end of the year. Interestingly, OpenAI currently has no plan to make an equity investment in HyperVault, as the Tata Group does not wish to be overly dependent on a single client.

The OpenAI–TCS partnership is not just a business deal—it is a new chapter for India’s AI future.
This deal will open doors to new possibilities for the country’s students, developers, startups, and large industries, and position India at the center of global AI innovation.
