The government launched the AIRAWAT (AI Research, Analytics and Knowledge Dissemination Platform) project to provide a shared compute platform for AI research and knowledge assimilation. All technology innovation hubs, research labs, the scientific community, industry, start-ups, and institutions within the National Knowledge Network will use this AI computing platform.

With a large, power-optimized AI cloud infrastructure connecting all Centers for Research Excellence in Artificial Intelligence (COREs), Indian Centers for Transformational AI (ICTAIs), and other Academic, Research Labs, Scientific Community, Industry, and start-up institutions with National Knowledge Network, this AIRAWAT PoC of 200 Petaflops Mix Precision AI Machine will act as a common computational cloud platform for Big Data Analytics and Assimilation.
