“The collaboration will empower enterprises, cloud providers, hyperscalers, and government organizations with high-performance, cost-efficient server solutions tailored for AI workloads, cloud computing, and large-scale data processing,” the filing stated.
Kalyani Group Chairman Baba Kalyani and Vice Chairman and JMD Amit Kalyani said, “By manufacturing these servers in India, we will not only advance our technological capabilities but also support the ‘Make in India’ initiative. This collaboration with AMD is a significant step, and we are confident that we are moving in the right direction. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and furthering India’s position as a global technology leader.”
AMD’s Corporate Vice President for Sales in India Vinay Sinha said, “India has immense potential for growth in the server industry. We are excited to collaborate with Kalyani Powertrain to bring high performance AMD computing solutions to the Indian market.”
“The integration of AMD EPYC processors today and AMD Instinct accelerators planned in the future will enable scalable, energy efficient infrastructure for AI, cloud computing, and data centers. This partnership collaboration reflects our commitment to strengthening India’s digital ecosystem and supporting local innovation.
