Tech Mahindra has announced a strategic AI-led collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies. This partnership involves integration of the company’s proprietary AI model, IndusQ LLM, into the Qualcomm AI Hub, a platform dedicated to on-device AI model deployment.
IndusQ is a specialised version of Indus, configured to work seamlessly with Qualcomm’s technologies. This achievement makes Tech Mahindra the only Global System Integrator (GSI) to complete this integration, the company said.
The partnership aims to provide scalable AI solutions for enterprises globally, making AI more accessible and offering developers enterprise-ready solutions that facilitate real-time insights, automation, and decision-making at the edge.
