TCS ties up with Mistral to build custom AI models for enterprise clients

TCS will leverage Mistral Forge to build custom AI models for enterprises across BFSI, manufacturing, healthcare and the public sector

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest information technology (IT) services company, has partnered with Mistral AI to become the first global system integrator partner for Mistral Forge, the French frontier-model firm’s advanced platform for enterprises to build frontier-grade artificial intelligence (AI) models. 

 

The partnership combines Mistral’s frontier AI capabilities with TCS’ enterprise expertise, domain knowledge and engineering capabilities to help organisations scale enterprise AI responsibly and at greater speed.

 

As part of the agreement, TCS will use Mistral Forge to build customised AI models for enterprises. The partnership will help customers deploy their data and enterprise context to improve decision-making outcomes.

 

 

The collaboration will initially focus on sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, healthcare and the public sector, where trusted AI adoption is becoming increasingly important.

 

“Together, we are enabling enterprises worldwide to move from experimentation to AI deployment with systems that are open, production-ready and aligned with their strategic and operational requirements,” said Arthur Mensch, chief executive officer (CEO) and cofounder of Mistral AI.

 

TCS will also establish a dedicated Centre of Excellence for Mistral to drive joint innovation, develop industry-specific solutions, support project delivery and accelerate client value through early access to Mistral’s beta models.

 

The Centre of Excellence will function as a strategic hub for advanced talent, specialised training and the capabilities required to design, deploy and govern AI solutions.

 

K Krithivasan, chief executive officer and managing director (MD) of TCS, said: “The partnership with Mistral reinforces TCS’ commitment to scaling enterprise AI with trust, control and measurable business outcomes at the core. Together with Mistral, we will address specific industry challenges, regulatory requirements and sovereign needs for our enterprise customers.”
