A strong step forward for India’s enterprise cloud ecosystem… IBM and Airtel’s collaboration marks more than just another partnership; it’s a signal of where the telecom industry is heading globally. Sovereign, interoperable, AI ready cloud infrastructure is no longer optional for regulated industries; it’s foundational to national resilience and commercial competitiveness. By combining Airtel Cloud’s data residency and compliance strengths with IBM’s hybrid cloud and AI capabilities, enterprises across sectors like finance, healthcare, and government can scale AI workloads efficiently, and without compromising sovereignty, security, or interoperability. This is the model telcos everywhere should be studying. As 5G and edge adoption accelerate, communication service providers are perfectly positioned to extend beyond connectivity and become trusted digital partners to enterprise and government customers; offering sovereign cloud, AI, and data services as a managed, compliant platform. Sovereign cloud goes beyond just an infrastructure play; it’s a B2B growth engine. One that enables telcos to drive national digital strategies while creating long term, high margin enterprise value.
