Tata Secures OpenAI as Anchor Client for Stargate Data Centre Project

As part of their joint global AI infrastructure effort, Stargate, OpenAI will be the first customer of the data centre business in India. The collaboration will be starting with 100 megawatts of capacity, according to Tata Consultancy Services and OpenAI.

Major investors have sponsored Stargate, a $500 billion, multi-year plan to construct artificial intelligence data centres for training and inference. This is a huge win for TCS, which last year revealed intentions to spend up to $7 billion on a 1-gigawatt data centre unit in India, marking a strategic change.

India’s AI Infra Attracting Global Players

Spending on expensive AI infrastructure has increased in India. Not only are local businesses like Reliance and Adani Group increasing their investments, but so are global powerhouses like Amazon, Google, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft. In a different collaboration, Tata Group, the parent company of TCS, also intends to use ChatGPT Enterprise.

In the coming years, this rollout will spread throughout the entire organisation, beginning with hundreds of thousands of workers. ChatGPT's parent business is OpenAI. According to OpenAI, the number of weekly ChatGPT users in India has surpassed 100 million.
