L&T Vyoma, the next-generation sovereign AI cloud and digital infrastructure business of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has announced a strategic partnership with Fortanix Inc, a global leader in data and AI security, to deliver sovereign and secure AI-powered software-as-a-service solutions for enterprises and government organisations across India. The collaboration combines L&T Vyoma’s AI-ready digital infrastructure with Fortanix’s Confidential Computing capabilities powered by NVIDIA Confidential Computing technology. Together, the companies will help organisations deploy AI applications while safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring regulatory compliance and maintaining data sovereignty within India.
As AI adoption expands across industries, organisations are under increasing pressure to protect sensitive information while complying with evolving data governance requirements. The partnership addresses these challenges by providing a secure environment where data remains protected not only when stored or transmitted but also during processing through hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments.
L&T Vyoma will provide sovereign AI infrastructure, including advanced data centres, high-performance compute resources and networking capabilities. Fortanix will secure enterprise data and AI workloads using Confidential Computing technology, enabling organisations to process critical information without exposing intellectual property or confidential data.
Prashant Chiranjive Jain, Managing Director of L&T Vyoma, said the partnership reinforces India’s vision of building trusted digital infrastructure capable of supporting the country’s rapidly expanding AI ecosystem while ensuring the highest standards of security and compliance.
Anand Kashyap, Co-founder and CEO of Fortanix Inc, said the collaboration brings together secure infrastructure and advanced Confidential Computing technologies, allowing enterprises to accelerate AI adoption without compromising data security or sovereignty.
Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise AI Products at NVIDIA, noted that regulated sectors require trusted infrastructure to deploy AI at scale. He said the integration of NVIDIA Confidential Computing with L&T Vyoma’s sovereign infrastructure and Fortanix’s security platform establishes a secure foundation for mission-critical AI workloads in India.
The partnership will integrate Confidential AI into L&T Vyoma’s AI Factory model, enabling secure deployment of AI models, protection of enterprise and citizen data during computation, cryptographic verification of trusted environments and compliance with India’s regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.
Beyond technology integration, L&T Vyoma and Fortanix will jointly develop industry-specific AI security solutions, undertake go-to-market initiatives across regulated sectors, and support customers through proof-of-concept and proof-of-value programmes. L&T Vyoma will also work with leading Indian AI model developers to strengthen the country’s sovereign AI ecosystem. The partnership represents an important milestone in advancing secure, trusted and sovereign AI adoption in India, enabling organisations to innovate while retaining complete control over their data, models and digital assets.
