Bengaluru-based Turiyam AI on Tuesday announced a partnership with Tokyo-headquartered NTT Global Data Centers (NTT GDC) to host and scale Turiyam’s "next-generation" AI inference servers within NTT’s data centre facilities.

"The collaboration will see Turiyam deploy its next-generation inference servers within NTT’s data centre facilities, enabling enterprises to run advanced AI applications with improved speed, energy efficiency and security," the company said in a statement.

Focus on inference infrastructure

Turiyam AI specialises in AI inference computing — the stage where trained models process live data and generate outputs. As enterprises move from building large language models to deploying them in real-world environments, demand for dedicated inference infrastructure has been rising.

The company said its proprietary server architecture is optimised specifically for inference workloads, offering higher throughput and lower power consumption compared with traditional general-purpose GPU clusters. The infrastructure is designed to support applications such as imaging, video analytics, audio processing and language models that require low latency and consistent uptime.

By hosting its hardware within NTT’s facilities, Turiyam aims to provide enterprise customers with secure, scalable and reliable infrastructure. NTT GDC operates a global portfolio of data centres and offers enterprise-grade physical and cybersecurity standards, along with renewable energy integration across several facilities.

Alok Bajpai, managing director, India at NTT Global Data Centers, said the partnership would help enterprises deploy advanced AI workloads with greater efficiency. Sanchayan Sinha, founder and CEO of Turiyam AI, said the collaboration would allow the company to deliver lower latency and high availability for mission-critical AI deployments.

Backed by early-stage funding

Turiyam AI raised $4 million in pre-seed funding round led by Ankur Capital and Axilor Ventures’s Micelio Fund, Inc42 reported on Monday, 2 March 2026. According to the report, the company said the capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand its engineering team and support early commercial deployments.

This fundraising marks Turiyam’s first major external capital raise and comes amid growing investor interest in domestic AI infrastructure and sovereign compute capabilities.

With India witnessing rapid adoption of AI across sectors, companies are increasingly looking for localised, compliant and energy-efficient compute infrastructure. As demand for real-time AI applications grows, infrastructure-focused players such as Turiyam are seeking to differentiate by specialising in inference performance rather than model training capacity.
