IBM and Yotta Data Services Private Limited have announced plans to enter into a strategic partnership 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, to help organisations scale AI adoption while meeting evolving requirements around data residency, security, and regulatory compliance.
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to operational deployment, there is increasing demand for platforms that can orchestrate AI-driven workflows across business functions while maintaining governance and control. The proposed platform will enable organisations to deploy and manage AI agents across IT service management, HR, finance, procurement, and customer support.
As part of the collaboration, IBM and Yotta also intend to bring IBM Sovereign Core onto Yotta’s Shakti Cloud. IBM Sovereign Core, is a software platform designed to help organisations build and operate AI-ready sovereign environments, delivering continuous compliance monitoring, verifiable control, and governed AI execution across data, operations, technology, and AI. Together, the two offerings are intended to give Indian organisations a complete foundation for deploying agentic AI at scale, without compromising on compliance or control.
Commenting on the partnership, co-founder, managing director and chief executive officer, Yotta Data Services, said, “AI innovation in India must be anchored in sovereignty, security, and performance. 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 Shakti Cloud provides scalable graphics processing unit (GPU) infrastructure and AI services designed for Indian enterprises. Combined with IBM watsonx Orchestrate, an enterprise agentic AI platform, the proposed solution is intended to help Indian organisations adopt AI with speed and security, enabling AI-driven orchestration that accelerates time-to-value and streamlines operations across functions.
