New Delhi: Yotta Data Services today announced the launch of the ‘Sovereign AI Cloud Transformation Report,’ marking the successful end-to-end migration of Digital India’s BHASHINI platform to a fully sovereign AI cloud.
The transformation has been deployed on Yotta’s Government Community Cloud (GCC) and NVIDIA H100-enabled Shakti Cloud, aligning closely with the objectives of the IndiaAI Mission. With this move, BHASHINI now runs entirely on Indian cloud and GPU infrastructure, ensuring that language data, AI models, and citizen interactions remain within India’s jurisdiction.
The report was unveiled at The India AI Sovereignty Dialogues, hosted by Yotta Data Services in collaboration with the Digital India BHASHINI Division. It draws insights from a real-world, population-scale deployment at Maha Kumbh 2025, the world’s largest religious gathering. During the event, BHASHINI’s multilingual AI services delivered real-time translation and voice-based assistance in more than 11 Indian languages, including through the multilingual assistant ‘Kumbh Sah’AI’yak’.
Commenting on the development, Abhishek Singh, IAS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology; CEO, IndiaAI Mission; and Director General, National Informatics Centre, said, “The successful migration of Bhashini to indigenous cloud and GPU platforms demonstrates that India can build, scale, and secure its sovereign AI systems for the public good. It underscores the IndiaAI Mission’s vision of developing sovereign compute capacity, models and deploying AI applications that are responsive to India’s unique requirements, including the delivery of reliable, real-time, voice-based services at population scale.”
Highlighting the platform’s impact, Amitabh Nag, CEO, Digital India BHASHINI Division, said, “The move to Yotta’s sovereign AI cloud gives BHASHINI greater control, resilience, and scalability as it continues to serve India’s linguistic diversity. This transformation strengthens our ability to deliver inclusive, real-time multilingual services and marks a major step forward for Digital Public Infrastructure in AI. It will also serve as a blueprint for future deployments as we transition to a fully sovereign stack.”
Kavita Bhatia, COO, IndiaAI Mission, said, “BHASHINI’s transition to a fully sovereign AI cloud is a significant milestone in IndiaAI Mission’s effort to build population-scale AI on Indian infrastructure. It demonstrates that national digital public goods can be securely scaled on indigenous, open platforms without compromising performance. This deployment sets a strong blueprint for future public sector AI initiatives.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Sunil Gupta, Co-Founder, Managing Director and CEO, Yotta Data Services, said, “Yotta’s successful deployment of BHASHINI on Shakti cloud marks a defining moment for India’s data sovereignty journey. This transition highlights that hyperscale, mission-critical AI platforms can be built and operated entirely on sovereign infrastructure, without compromise. the project validates India’s ability to run advanced AI workloads on open, interoperable architectures and reflects Yotta’s capability to build and operate digital infrastructure at national scale.”
