Tech Mahindra has established a Center of Excellence (CoE) powered by NVIDIA platforms to drive advancements in sovereign large language model (LLM) frameworks, agentic AI, and physical AI.

Based on the Tech Mahindra Optimized Framework, the CoE leverages the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform - including NVIDIA NeMo, NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA RAPIDS - to offer customized, enterprise-grade AI applications to help its clients adopt agentic AI in their businesses. Agentic AI significantly improves productivity by enabling AI applications to learn, reason, and take action. The CoE also uses the NVIDIA Omniverse platform to develop connected industrial AI digital twins and physical AI applications across various sectors, including manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, healthcare, banking, financial services and insurance.

Leveraging the capabilities of the CoE, Tech Mahindra has also developed Project Indus 2.0, an advanced AI model powered by NVIDIA NeMo based on Hindi and dozens of its dialects, such as Bhojpuri, Dogri, and Maithili. Project Indus 2.0 caters to diverse sectors, including retail, banking, healthcare, and citizen services, in India. It stands out as a state-of-the-art LLM that advances Hindi and dialect conversations. In the future, Indus 2.0 aims to include agentic workflows and support multiple dialects to provide a more nuanced and effective AI solution tailored to India's diverse linguistic and cultural landscape. 

Tech Mahindra will also leverage the new NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprint for customer service to help call center clients build custom AI virtual assistants that can aid human agents in rapidly resolving issues.

Tech Mahindra represents the connected world, offering innovative and customer-centric information technology experiences, enabling Enterprises, Associates and the Society to Rise.
