Bengaluru, India - March 3, 2026 - Indian artificial intelligence infrastructure startup Turiyam AI has formed a strategic partnership with NTT Global Data Centers to host and scale next-generation AI inference infrastructure within NTT’s data center facilities, signaling a new phase in high-performance, low-latency AI compute deployment across India.
The collaboration is designed to support enterprises and organisations as they transition from training large language models to deploying them in real-world applications that require rapid inference, the process where trained models make predictions and respond to live data. Under the agreement, Turiyam will install its proprietary AI inference servers in NTT’s advanced, secure data center locations, providing a turnkey path for customers to run advanced AI workloads with improved speed, efficiency and reliability.
Turiyam AI’s hardware is optimised specifically for inference workloads and offers significantly higher throughput and lower power consumption compared with traditional general-purpose computing platforms, the companies said. The deployment at NTT’s facilities aims to reduce latency for real-time AI applications such as imaging, video and audio processing and complex language models while delivering enterprise-grade security and support.
“Turiyam’s AI hardware, combined with NTT GDC’s secure, scalable and sustainably designed data center platform, creates a powerful foundation for real-time AI innovation,” said Alok Bajpai, Managing Director, India, at NTT Global Data Centers. “Together, we’re enabling enterprises to deploy advanced AI workloads with the speed, reliability, and efficiency they need to compete in an increasingly AI-driven world.”
Sanchayan Sinha, Founder and CEO of Turiyam AI, said the collaboration will make AI inference “faster and more accessible” by placing Turiyam’s systems in some of the most sophisticated data center facilities in the world, ensuring maximum uptime and minimal latency for mission-critical workloads.
Hosting the inference infrastructure within NTT’s global data center footprint also aligns with sustainability goals, as NTT’s facilities are designed with renewable energy commitments and comprehensive security protocols. Enterprises will be able to scale from pilot projects to full-scale deployments via NTT’s extensive network of connected facilities, improving performance while maintaining strong operational controls.
India’s AI market is seen as one of the fastest-growing globally, with demand for localised and sovereign compute rising rapidly as businesses seek to run AI applications securely and efficiently within the country. By leveraging NTT’s world-class infrastructure, Turiyam aims to meet this demand with a scalable model that bridges hardware innovation and reliable data center operations.
The partnership marks a strategic step in expanding localised AI compute capabilities and reflects broader industry trends toward purpose-built infrastructure for AI inference workloads, a segment that is growing in importance as enterprises deploy AI at scale beyond experimental use.
