Netweb Technologies India Limited (Netweb), one of India’s leading “Make in India” manufacturers of high-end computing solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Bud Ecosystem (Bud), a Bengaluru-based AI research and product company. The two firms will jointly develop affordable and localized AI infrastructure solutions aimed at accelerating India’s digital transformation across key sectors.
This collaboration combines Netweb’s expertise in scalable, energy-efficient, and high-performance computing systems with Bud’s advanced AI Foundry software stack to create ready-to-deploy AI solutions tailored for India’s unique needs. The initiative will target industries such as education, healthcare, agriculture, retail, and small businesses, focusing on accessibility, cost efficiency, and performance.
As part of this partnership, Netweb and Bud will co-develop AI-in-a-Box systems — pre-configured hardware-software bundles that bring AI capabilities to organizations even in areas with limited internet connectivity or technical resources. These modular and scalable systems will allow users to begin with CPU-based configurations and seamlessly upgrade to GPU or accelerator-based setups as their requirements grow.
The joint effort aims to bridge India’s AI accessibility gap by addressing key challenges such as high infrastructure costs, data privacy concerns, and connectivity limitations. The localized AI infrastructure will support offline functionality, data sovereignty, and easy deployment, enabling Indian organizations to adopt AI confidently and cost-effectively.
The upcoming product line will feature plug-and-play edge AI systems equipped with custom-built large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs), multilingual AI models like HEX1, domain-specific AI agents, optimized inference engines, and a comprehensive end-to-end AI Foundry layer. Together, these innovations are designed to simplify AI adoption and scale its impact across India’s diverse sectors.
