Tech Mahindra has announced the official launch of TechM Orion, an AI agent development and deployment platform. Powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing, TechM Orion is designed to empower enterprises to scale AI adoption responsibly and efficiently, with a strong emphasis on governance, transparency, and achieving tangible business outcomes.
TechM Orion is built upon NVIDIA accelerated computing and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, leveraging key technologies such as NVIDIA NIM, NVIDIA NeMo, and NVIDIA RAPIDS for highly efficient AI inference, model training, and customization. The platform supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployments, ensuring seamless integration with existing client systems and third-party tools. This flexibility maximizes current AI investments and facilitates scalable growth.
TechM Orion is meticulously architected to boost productivity and accelerate innovation, enabling global enterprises to deploy AI solutions more rapidly, whether in assisted or fully autonomous environments, all while maintaining stringent control and transparency throughout the AI lifecycle. It also incorporates AI agents from SaaS platforms, streamlining orchestration and enhancing scalability with embedded assurance guardrails.
Nikhil Malhotra, Chief Innovation Officer at Tech Mahindra, commented on the launch, stating, “As enterprises race to embed AI into core operations, it is not enough to just democratize AI agent development. Enterprises are currently looking for ROI, assurance and a clear path to transform their business processes. Combined with NVIDIA’s unparalleled AI infrastructure and enterprise AI stack, TechM Orion empowers organizations to move from experimentation to transformation.”
TechM Orion is set to accelerate Agentic AI adoption for enterprises through several key features:
- Rapid Development & Deployment: AI agents can be built and deployed in under one week using the C2A (Chat-to-Agent) interface, significantly reducing traditional timelines of two to three weeks.
- Extensive Agent Library: The platform offers a library of over 200 pre-built, production-grade AI agents across five critical industries: Banking and Financial Services, Telecom, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Retail & Consumer Goods.
- Seamless Integration: Near real-time integration with enterprise systems is achieved through a combination of pre-configured connectors, low-code custom adapters built in Python, out-of-the-box agentic frameworks (e.g., Agentic RAG, document readers), and enterprise adapters (e.g., Email, SAP, Salesforce).
- Robust AI Governance: TechM Orion includes over 30 configurable AI governance checks for each agent, ensuring transparency, validation, verification, and alignment with regional compliance standards.
Key benefits for enterprises leveraging TechM Orion include:
- Rapid Agent Development and Deployment: The platform comes prepackaged with numerous use cases on agentic workflows that seamlessly integrate with clients’ existing solutions.
- Verification and Validation Observer: Tech Mahindra’s proprietary VerifAI system acts as an observer agent across the workflow, providing essential guardrails for secure and ethical data usage.
- Enterprise Knowledge Readiness: The platform enables the use of local knowledge through RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and fine-tuned models, allowing enterprises to leverage their own knowledge repositories to prevent hallucinations and drifts in AI outputs.
John Fanelli, Vice President, Enterprise Software Products, NVIDIA, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, saying, “Agentic AI is redefining how work gets done—enabling software to perceive, reason and act across complex tasks. Tech Mahindra’s Orion platform, built on the NVIDIA AI software stack, brings this vision to life by helping organizations deploy intelligent agents that manage multi-step workflows, advancing adoption across industries and improving operational efficiency.”
This announcement builds upon Tech Mahindra’s established leadership in AI innovation, including the successful creation of Project Indus 2.0, India’s advanced multilingual large language model, and the company’s recent “AI Delivered Right” strategy launched in April 2025. TechM Orion represents the practical implementation of this strategy, embedding AI capabilities directly into the fabric of Tech Mahindra’s operations. The platform will be commercially available in Q3 2025, with early access programs for select clients commencing in August. Tech Mahindra also plans to establish AI Engineering Centers of Excellence globally to support widespread adoption and innovation.
