This joint effort aims to transform AI-driven solutions across various industries by harnessing Tech Mahindra's unique capabilities in collaboration with Dell and Intel's strong infrastructure. The company's statement highlighted that this initiative will create multiple customized use cases, empowering customers to utilize diverse applications, including customer support, user experience, and content creation in sectors such as healthcare, rural education, banking and finance, agriculture, and telecom.

The statement further mentioned that the Indus model will first concentrate on essential use cases and pilot projects, such as offering infrastructure and computing as a service, and providing scalable AI solutions to enterprises.
