HCLSoftware has announced its participation in the India AI Impact Summit 2026, the first global AI summit to be held in the Global South. Taking place February 16-20 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, the company will demonstrate how its sovereign-by-design enterprise solutions provide enterprises with complete digital sovereignty, operational resilience, and AI-driven intelligence.
As AI solutions become deeply embedded in everyday operations, powering citizen services, mission-critical infrastructures and critical national systems, enterprises face a fundamental question: Who controls the infrastructure solutions run on?
HCLSoftware's answer is sovereignty through choice: the freedom to deploy across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, or air-gapped environments without compromising security, governance, or operational control.
HCLSoftware will showcase its XDO Blueprint - orchestrating Experience, Data, and Operations as a practical fabric for the AI era built on three solution pillars:
1. Sovereign AI & Collaboration: Enterprise knowledge, decisions, and sensitive communications demand trusted collaboration platforms. HCL Domino Workspace with Domino IQ delivers AI-powered summarization, search, and workflow automation with strict data residency and on-premises deployment—trusted by 900+ governments worldwide and BSI-certified for sovereign environments.
2. Secure Resilient Operations: As AI expands attack surfaces, security and operations must evolve together. HCL BigFix protects applications, endpoints, and operational workflows while applying AI-driven intelligence to service stability, compliance monitoring, and automated remediation, providing complete operational sovereignty.
3. Data & AI Intelligence: AI is only as effective as the data it can trust. Our Data and AI Intelligence platform provides governance, lineage, and discoverability across distributed data estates, enabling organizations to build intelligence while respecting data residency and regulatory requirements.
“Sovereignty isn’t about isolation, it's about choice,” said Kalyan Kumar, Chief Product Officer, HCLSoftware. “Digital sovereignty means enterprises control where software runs, where data resides, and how AI is governed, without external leverage. Through our XDO
Blueprint and IP-led engineering, we enable enterprises to deploy solutions where they need it, and govern how they require it, without external dependencies. This is India's ‘Made for the World’ proposition aligned with Viksit Bharat vision: delivering to population scale while enabling complete control, compliance, and operational autonomy.”
