Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has partnered with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to launch the TCS Innovation Lab in Bengaluru.
The lab will focus on co-creating smart, scalable, and sustainable Edge AI solutions using Qualcomm® platforms. It aims to help industries adopt software-driven, efficient, and resilient systems, delivering low-cost, real-time intelligent solutions for large enterprises.
State-of-the-Art Facility in Bengaluru
Located in India’s start-up hub, Bengaluru, the new lab is part of TCS’ “Bringing Life to Things” IoT Network Lab. Equipped with a 5G private network and advanced infrastructure, it will serve industries such as:
- Security & Surveillance
- Healthcare
- Smart Infrastructure
- Manufacturing
The facility supports rapid prototyping, experimentation, and large-scale deployment of Edge AI capabilities based on a Software Defined Everything (SDx) approach.
Industry Leaders on the Collaboration
Savi Soin, Sr. Vice President & President, Qualcomm India, said:
“The TCS Innovation Lab in Bengaluru will be where advanced AI and connectivity meet real-world challenges. Together, we aim to develop cost-effective, scalable solutions tailored to enterprises modernizing in a software-defined world.”
V Rajanna, President, Technology, Software and Services, TCS, added:
“This lab will drive next-generation solutions across intelligent medical devices, smart industrial handhelds, and advanced safety and surveillance systems. We remain committed to investing in innovation and harnessing AI to unlock agility, efficiency, and business value.”
Next-Gen Edge AI and SDx Capabilities
Enterprises increasingly require intelligent, energy-efficient, and high-performance devices that can autonomously make decisions. TCS will leverage:
- Edge AI platforms from Qualcomm Technologies
- Software Defined X (SDx) frameworks
- Secure, configurable, and hardware-agnostic solutions
Applications will span medical devices, industrial controls, smart infrastructure, and safety systems. Running SDx capabilities on Qualcomm’s Edge AI-enabled SoCs will help seamlessly connect the physical and digital worlds.
Proven Collaboration
The partnership builds on TCS’ and Qualcomm Technologies’ history of delivering large transformation projects. For example, TCS recently developed a real-time smart visual anomaly detection solution for a global automotive manufacturer. Using a low-cost on-premises Qualcomm edge device, the system detected even the tiniest surface defects with 90% real-time accuracy.
Regu Ayyaswamy, Global Head, IoT & Digital Engineering, TCS, said:
“By combining TCS’ SDx approach with Qualcomm Technologies’ Edge AI platforms, we will create next-gen solutions that are adaptive, scalable, and sustainable – delivering exceptional value to clients across industries.”
Driving an Intelligent, Connected Future
With decades of domain expertise in engineering, R&D, and industrial platforms, TCS will use SDx to build:
- Smart service networks
- Intelligent controls and sensors
- Predictive device diagnostics
- AI-driven automation
These solutions will enhance resilience, agility, and scalability, helping enterprises migrate to next-generation technology platforms while achieving greater sustainability and efficiency.
