Tata Communications’ AI Cloud Vayu Targets Cost Efficiency Against Global Hyperscalers

Tata Communications is making a bold move in the AI cloud space with its Vayu platform, aiming to offer cost-effective solutions against global hyperscalers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. The company claims that Vayu reduces costs by 15-25%, eliminating data egress charges and hidden fees, making AI-driven cloud services more affordable for businesses.

Bringing AI & Cloud Under One Roof
Vayu consolidates Tata Communications’ cloud and AI offerings into a unified brand, integrating Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) capabilities. The platform includes:
✅ AI Studio for developing and deploying AI models
✅ API Management for seamless integration
✅ GPU-as-a-Service for high-performance computing

Expanding AI Infrastructure with Key Partnerships
CEO and MD A.S. Lakshminarayanan emphasized the company’s transition into a communications technology provider catering to various industries. As part of this strategy, Tata Communications is leveraging its partnership with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to integrate its infrastructure into TCS projects.

Additionally, the company has teamed up with NVIDIA to provide enterprises with AI cloud computing using cutting-edge Hopper and Blackwell GPUs. In October 2024, Tata Communications unveiled its AI infrastructure powered by NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, reinforcing its position as a leading Indian player in AI-driven cloud solutions.

Competing on Cost & Performance
In an era where enterprises seek cost-effective AI cloud solutions, Tata Communications positions Vayu as a high-performance yet budget-friendly alternative to global cloud giants. By eliminating hidden fees and offering scalable AI infrastructure, the company aims to attract businesses looking for cost-efficient AI-powered cloud services.
