Larsen & Toubro Vyoma (L&T Vyoma), L&T’s sovereign AI cloud and digital infrastructure business, has entered into a strategic partnership with Fortanix Inc., a US-headquartered data and AI security company and pioneer in Confidential Computing. The companies will jointly deliver sovereign and secure software-as-a-service offerings for enterprises and government organisations in India.
As AI adoption gathers pace, organisations are increasingly focused on data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and protecting sensitive information during processing. This is particularly important for regulated sectors such as banking, financial services, government and healthcare.
Under the partnership, L&T Vyoma will provide sovereign AI infrastructure, including data centres, compute and networking capabilities, while Fortanix will secure data and AI workloads in use by leveraging NVIDIA Confidential Computing. The collaboration will help organisations adopt AI and modern data services while ensuring that sensitive data remains protected and compliant within India’s borders.
Commenting on the partnership, Prashant Chiranjive Jain, Managing Director – Larsen & Toubro Vyoma, said: “India’s digital economy requires a strong foundation of sovereign infrastructure and secure AI capabilities. The partnership with Fortanix enables us to help organisations harness AI with confidence by ensuring that data remain protected within national boundaries while meeting the highest standards of security and compliance.”
Anand Kashyap, Co-founder & CEO – Fortanix Inc., said: “AI adoption isn’t slowing down, but organisations are increasingly challenged to balance innovation with data sovereignty and security. Our partnership with L&T Vyoma brings together trusted infrastructure and Confidential Computing to enable enterprises in India use AI without exposing sensitive data or intellectual property.”
Justin Boitano, Vice President – Enterprise AI Products – NVIDIA, said: “Regulated industries racing to adopt AI need to maintain the highest standards for data sovereignty and security as they scale advanced AI models and agents. Bringing together NVIDIA Confidential Computing with L&T Vyoma’s sovereign infrastructure and Fortanix’s security platform creates a trusted foundation for securely deploying and managing mission-critical workloads in India.”
The partnership will enable secure deployment of AI models, protection of sensitive enterprise and citizen data during processing, verification of trusted computing environments and compliance with India’s data sovereignty requirements.
L&T Vyoma and Fortanix will also jointly develop sovereign AI and data security solutions, undertake co-selling initiatives across regulated industries and support customers through proof-of-concept and proof-of-value engagements. The collaboration aims to strengthen India’s sovereign AI ecosystem while enabling organisations to retain control over their data and models.
