“Together, Cyient and TAO will help fast-track clients to a data-ready foundation, enabling AI at scale, faster outcomes, and sustainable competitive advantage,” it further stated.

Headquartered in the USA, TAO Digital Solutions has a global presence across North America, India, Europe, and Asia, serving marquee clients across automotive, hi-tech, and healthtech sectors, among others.
