IBM, Yotta tie-up to provide agentic AI platform for Indian govt, other customers

Mumbai, May 7 (PTI) Global tech major IBM on Thursday announced a tie-up with Yotta Data Services to deliver an agentic artificial intelligence (AI) platform for enterprises and government organisations in India.

The platform is proposed to be built using 'IBM WatsonX Orchestrate' and deployed on Yotta's Shakti Cloud, according to a statement.

It will help organisations scale AI adoption while meeting evolving requirements around data residency, security, and regulatory compliance, it said.


The proposed platform will enable organisations to deploy and manage AI agents across IT service management, HR, finance, procurement, and customer support, it said, adding that there is increasing demand for platforms that can orchestrate AI-driven workflows across business functions.

"Together with IBM, we propose to enable enterprises to harness the power of agentic AI on a secure, India-hosted cloud, so they can innovate with confidence while maintaining control over their data and operations," Yotta's managing director and chief executive, Sunil Gupta, said.

The two partners also intend to bring IBM sovereign core onto Yotta's Shakti Cloud, the statement said.

"This collaboration will combine IBM's AI capabilities with Yotta's sovereign cloud infrastructure to help organisations scale AI responsibly, embedding sovereignty, governance, transparency, and trust from the outset," Sandip Patel, Managing Director for IBM India and South Asia, said.
