Bosch Software and Digital Solutions has entered a partnership with NxtGen Datacenter and Cloud Technologies to introduce a sovereign industrial AI cloud for India. The move is aimed at helping companies adopt advanced artificial intelligence in manufacturing while keeping sensitive data within the country.
The collaboration brings together Bosch SDS’s manufacturing AI platforms and NxtGen’s sovereign cloud infrastructure. By combining the two, the companies want to give Indian enterprises the ability to run complex AI workloads without sending critical operational data outside national borders.
A major focus of the initiative is digital twin–based manufacturing intelligence. The companies plan to integrate Bosch SDS’s Industry 4.0, simulation and engineering platforms with NxtGen’s multi-region sovereign cloud and edge data centre network to support industrial AI deployments across factories and production environments.
With this setup, businesses will be able to use AI-driven predictive maintenance, optimise equipment performance and manage industrial data across edge and cloud systems. At the same time, the infrastructure is designed to meet India’s data residency and security expectations.
As part of the collaboration, the companies are working on a Digital Twin Manufacturing Cloud. The platform will combine Bosch SDS’s industrial IoT and simulation technologies with NxtGen’s GPU-as-a-Service infrastructure and orchestration capabilities.
The idea is to help manufacturers modernise operations without losing control of sensitive operational data. Deployments can also run directly at factory locations using edge environments that are monitored and managed through a central system.
Under the agreement, NxtGen will deliver managed GPU infrastructure services. These include provisioning, lifecycle management, security monitoring, performance optimisation and Kubernetes-based orchestration for AI workloads. Bosch SDS will contribute domain expertise, AI-driven industrial applications and platform integration support.
The partnership will also involve joint go-to-market programs, development of sector-focused solutions and flexible deployment models designed for enterprise customers.
Ramesh Ramaswamy, chief revenue officer at Bosch SDS, said the collaboration will allow organisations to deploy GPU infrastructure at their own facilities through edge data centres or cloud-at-customer models while still maintaining centralised control.
He noted that Bosch SDS is focusing on helping companies go beyond traditional digital transformation by embedding AI and machine learning into what he described as an “agentic AI” approach, focused on model orchestration, inference pipelines and performance optimisation.
AS Rajgopal, managing director and CEO of NxtGen, said many industries are moving away from static analytics dashboards toward real-time AI-powered operational systems.
According to him, this transition requires infrastructure that is local, dependable and built for production use. Hosting Bosch SDS platforms on NxtGen’s infrastructure, he said, will help enterprises move from experimental AI projects to large-scale systems that support mission-critical operations.
