Telecommunications service provider Tata Communications is reportedly looking to launch an AI Studio platform-as-a-service by March.
As per Mint, citing A S Lakshminarayanan, the managing director and chief executive of the company, this platform will be built on top of the AI Cloud it introduced in partnership with Nvidia late last year.
Inc42 has reached out to Tata Communications for comments on the development. The story will be updated based on the response.
The platform will offer services including data management, multimodal retrieval augmented generation (search using text, photo, video, etc) and machine learning operations capabilities.
The Tata Group-owned company aims to generate revenue by providing these services on a subscription basis to benefit hyperscalers (large cloud service providers), enterprises, startups as well as government bodies.
“We are in early-stage trials of AI Studio with some customers. The launch, we expect it to happen later during this quarter,” Lakshminarayanan was quoted as saying in the report.
He also said, “We believe that the first take up would be with a lot of people who are investing in model building, that are currently mostly startups.”
This development comes a day after the Centre selected ten tech giants for the final bidding process to procure 10,000 graphic processing units (GPUs) under the IndiaAI Mission, of which Tata Communications was one among the shortlisted names, as per reports.
Earlier this month, listed drone solutions provider DroneAcharya announced securing an order from Tata Communications to build a customised drone solution (static drone) for their experience centre.
Meanwhile, AI has been chased by numerous brands to strengthen their market position, as AI assisted offerings are highly desired among various industries and investors today.
For instance, in an Inc42 survey of more than 50 VCs about GenAI adoption by non-GenAI startups in their portfolios, 43% said that AI or GenAI is now a key part of their product and service roadmap.
