TCS launches India-first AI-powered cloud and cybersecurity platforms to modernise public sector and defence systems

India’s largest IT services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), launched TCS SovereignSecure Cloud, a native Indian cloud infrastructure for government institutions, public sector enterprises, and regulated industries. Built with integrated AI capabilities, the cloud services will use data centers in Mumbai and Hyderabad to help keep sensitive data within Indian shores. The dedicated cloud infrastructure is also compliant with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act of 2023. With local data stored within the TCS cloud, the company says it will lead to minimal latency in mission-critical programs being run at scale by Indian state and central governments along with PSUs.

Speaking at the launch event in New Delhi, TCS Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K. Krithivasan said, “Today's event addresses some of India's most pressing opportunities—I'm not saying challenges. These are the opportunities TCS is going to address. Modernizing industries, securing our digital space, and making public services smarter and more inclusive, and we believe this is just the beginning. TCS is committed to building these solutions for India, in India, and for the world from India.”

The company has also launched an AI-driven low-code platform, TCS DigiBOLT, for enterprises. Built on open source, the platform can help organizations scale their AI-first applications faster by unifying processes, data sources, and fragmented legacy systems under a single umbrella. It also has ready-to-use templates for industry-specific business scenarios. On DigiBOLT, Girish Ramachandran, President – Growth Markets, said, “What it does is it improves agility as well as the speed of execution. We are very happy to say that this particular platform today powers the pension for the Defence personnel; the entire aviation regulation sector in India is digitized using this platform; and in fact, we are the second-largest country in the world which has completely digitized its aviation sector. And three major states in the country use this platform to power their single-window investments into that particular state.”

The company also launched a suite of cybersecurity solutions, TCS Cyber Defense Suite. Offered as a security-as-a-service platform in India, the AI-driven platform is aimed at providing actionable insights for proactive risk mitigation; AI-driven threat detection and automated response to cyber threats; and comprehensive preventive controls for identity, infrastructure, network, applications, and data assets hosted across hybrid multi-cloud, IT, and OT environments.
