HCLSoftware and Sify Digital Services Limited Announce Strategic Partnership to Deliver Fully Managed Sovereign AI Solutions for India

NOIDA, India – HCLSoftware, a global leader in enterprise software solutions, and Sify Digital Services Limited (Sify), India’s leading digital services provider, today announced a strategic partnership to launch a combined, fully managed Sovereign AI offering. This collaboration provides Indian enterprises with a secure, end-to-end AI ecosystem designed to ensure total data residency, localized control, and strict regulatory compliance.

Under this partnership, Sify and HCLSoftware will deliver a unified, full-stack AI experience built on sovereign infrastructure and enterprise-grade platforms. Sify provides the Sovereign AI Foundation, which includes secure, compliant infrastructure, platform services, foundation models, and specialized blueprints. HCLSoftware complements this with its suite of India-owned, enterprise-ready sovereign business applications that seamlessly consume these AI services, creating a robust, integrated environment for private enterprises and public sector organizations.

The joint solution introduces a turnkey, subscription-based ‘Sovereign AI Foundation + Applications’ model. As an outcome-oriented managed service, it is specifically engineered to accelerate AI adoption across India. By keeping data within national borders and under local jurisdiction, the offering addresses the critical needs of regulated industries while providing the agility of modern AI tools.

This strategic partnership leverages the complementary strengths of both organizations by integrating Sify’s state-of-the-art, government-compliant sovereign data centers with HCLSoftware’s industry-leading, India-owned application suite. Recognized as leaders by analysts like Gartner and IDC, HCLSoftware’s solutions run directly on Sify’s infrastructure to provide a true full-stack sovereign offering. Together, both entities will drive market expansion through joint customer acquisition, with Sify positioned to evolve into a primary Managed Service Provider (MSP) for these integrated AI solutions.

The partnership focuses on delivering several high-impact, AI-infused solutions, a few are highlighted below:

  • Sovereign Collaboration Platforms: Powered by HCL Domino, providing advanced communication tools enhanced with embedded Sovereign AI.
  • Intelligent Infrastructure Operations: Leveraging HCL BigFix for seamless unified endpoint management, asset management, and ITSM, bolstered by agentic AI workflows and runbook automation.
  • Application Security: Utilizing HCL AppScan to identify vulnerabilities early in the lifecycle, using AI for auto-code fixes and the implementation of best coding practices.
  • Sovereign AI Access & Infrastructure: Providing secure access to high-performance AI services and a scalable foundation built for intensive AI workloads.
Looking ahead, the partners plan to launch additional solutions, including the HCL AION platform, enabling enterprises to build, deploy and manage the full AI lifecycle on Sify’s high-performance sovereign AI foundation.
“This partnership bridges the gap between India-owned, high-performance AI-infused products operating on Sify’s sovereign infrastructure, delivering a sovereign-complete stack to Indian customers,” said Dhruv Kohli, VP & Country Head – India, HCLSoftware.
“With Sovereign-by-Design applications now integrated with Sify’s Sovereign AI Foundation, enterprises can adopt AI through ready-to-use, subscription-based solutions that combine compliance, performance, and operational simplicity.” said Aman Mehra, Head of Strategy & Transformation, Sify.

The partnership between HCLSoftware and Sify provides Indian enterprises with a practical way to adopt AI while meeting data security laws. By offering a managed and compliant AI stack, the collaboration focuses on supporting the BFSI, Healthcare, and Government sectors as they modernize their digital operations.
