Orient Technologies joins hands with AWS to advance AI

Mid-sized IT services company Orient Technologies announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) India on Thursday to provide enhanced GPU and Artificial Intelligence (AI) services for the domestic market. This collaboration supports the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s (MeitY) IndiaAI initiative, underscoring Orient Technologies’ dedication to fostering AI development and promoting innovation within India’s technology landscape.

AWS’ high-performance GPUs present cost-effective options for AI model training, enabling businesses to optimise their budgets while accelerating AI advancements. By utilising AWS’s GPU technology, AI services, and cloud infrastructure, the Mumbai-based firm seeks to help organisations leverage AI capabilities on a larger scale.

Orient offers services such as data centre solutions, cloud, and managed services. The partnership is anticipated to lower AI training expenses by more than 50% and enhance energy efficiency by 25%, thereby making AI integration more accessible and sustainable for businesses, the company said in a statement.

“Our engagement with MeitY’s IndiaAI mission underscores our expertise in managing large-scale digital infrastructure. With AWS’s support, we aim to drive large-scale AI deployment, strengthen India’s digital infrastructure, and position India as a global leader in AI development,” Umesh Shah, Director, Orient Technologies Ltd, said.

From its inception in 1992 to a successful IPO in 2024, Orient Technologies, founded by industry expert Ajay Sawant, has primarily catered to clients in the banking, financial services, insurance (BFSI), IT, and healthcare/pharmaceutical sectors. Its distinguished clientele includes Coal India, Mazagon Dock, D’décor exports and the Joint Commissioner of Sales Tax (GST Mahavikas).

The company’s workforce comprises a diverse array of IT professionals, including network engineers, system administrators, cloud engineers, and technical support specialists, all dedicated to delivering IT infrastructure solutions and services to their clients.

In January, Orient Technologies appointed Shrihari Bhat as the chief executive officer (CEO) who brings over 25 years of leadership experience and is poised to drive the company's next phase of growth, innovation, and strategic development.

For the December ending quarter (Q3FY25), the company reported a net profit of ₹13 crore, a marginal improvement as compared to the net profit of ₹11 crore reported in the same period in the last fiscal year.
