In a landmark move, the electronics division of Kalyani Powertrain, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bharat Forge Ltd., has joined forces with AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) to enter the Indian server market. This strategic collaboration aims to strengthen India’s server infrastructure by integrating AMD’s cutting-edge EPYC processors into domestically manufactured solutions.
The partnership was officially unveiled at an event in Pune, attended by key leaders from both organizations. AMD was represented by Mr. Vinay Sinha, Managing Director & Corporate Vice President, India Mega Region; Mr. Pankaj Dessai, Director, Channel Business, India Mega Region; and Mr. Manmohan Brahma, Engineering Solutions Leader, India & AP Mega Region. From the Kalyani Group, Chairman & Managing Director Mr. Baba Kalyani, Vice Chairman & Joint Managing Director Mr. Amit Kalyani, and other senior executives were present.
As a symbolic gesture, leaders from both sides unveiled the first EPYC CPU-based server, marking the official launch of their alliance. These servers, powered by AMD’s high-performance, energy-efficient processors, are designed to reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for data centers. Future plans include incorporating AMD Instinct™ accelerators to enhance AI and high-performance computing capabilities.
This collaboration aligns with India’s Make in India initiative, fostering local manufacturing and reducing dependency on imports. It aims to empower enterprises, cloud providers, hyperscalers, and government organizations with cost-efficient, high-performance server solutions tailored for AI, cloud computing, and large-scale data processing.
