This joint effort strengthens the "Make in India" initiative and reinforces India's push for self-reliant, innovative technology solutions tailored to local needs.
"Since its inception, C-DAC has been recognized as leader in Indian supercomputing. AMI is also widely recognized as the global leader in the BIOS firmware market. This partnership with AMI to develop UEFI/BIOS firmware will help in creating a robust server infrastructure and contribute to the indigenization efforts aimed at achieving self-reliance in critical technologies," said E. Magesh, Director General of C-DAC.
"C-DAC and AMI India share a commitment and vision for delivering innovative solutions that drive India's technological capabilities and digital transformation forward.
