Tech Data, a TD SYNNEX company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dell Technologies to establish the Dell AI Factory in India. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate AI adoption across various industries by offering a comprehensive suite of solutions, services, and state-of-the-art hardware.

As part of this collaboration, a Centre of Excellence (CoE) will be set up to showcase real-world AI use cases and conduct product demonstrations. The initiative will also engage leading Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to provide pre-validated, end-to-end AI solutions that seamlessly integrate Dell’s advanced hardware with specialized software. By streamlining this integration, channel partners will be better equipped to address complex customer needs and simplify AI deployment.

“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Dell Technologies and introduce the Dell AI Factory to Channel Partners,” said Sundaresan K., Vice President and Country General Manager, Tech Data Advanced (India) Private Limited.

He further emphasized the market potential, stating, “India’s AI market is expanding rapidly, and partners are eager to capitalize on the immense opportunities it presents. The Dell AI Factory, combined with our Destination AI programme, is designed to equip them with the advanced tools and capabilities they need to meet this growing demand and deliver cutting-edge AI solutions to their customers.”

In addition to the CoE, Tech Data will integrate its Destination AI programme into the initiative. This programme will play a pivotal role by offering partners essential training, technical expertise, and pre- and post-sales support, further enhancing their capabilities in the AI space.

Vivek Malhotra, Senior Director & General Manager, India Channels, Dell Technologies, shared his views on the collaboration: “Our collaboration with Tech Data to launch the Centre of Excellence in India underscores this commitment, offering channel partners a robust platform to deliver tailored AI solutions seamlessly. By combining our expertise through Dell AI Factory and advanced hardware solutions, we are equipping our partners with the tools and expertise necessary to address diverse industry challenges and unlock new growth opportunities in the AI era.”
