Sovereign AI India — private AI deployment for Indian organizations

Why sovereign AI matters for India

India is building its digital future. With the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023, RBI data localisation mandates, and MeitY's sovereign AI guidelines, Indian organisations must ensure that sensitive data — citizen records, financial transactions, healthcare information — never leaves the country. Sovereign AI makes this possible by deploying inference infrastructure within India's borders.

Plugsky's sovereign AI solution gives Indian government agencies, banks, and enterprises access to 30+ world-class AI models running entirely on Indian infrastructure. No data leaves the country. No foreign entity accesses your models or data.

Deployment options

• On-premises — Deploy on your hardware in your Indian data centre. Full control over the stack.
• BYOC — Bring your own cloud account (AWS India, Azure India, or local providers like Yotta, STT, Nxtra).
• VPC — Private cloud deployment in your virtual network within India.
• Air-gapped — Fully isolated deployment with no internet connectivity for classified workloads.
• Customer-managed keys — Encrypt all data, models, and inference with keys you control.
