AIONOS and Black Box forge strategic alliance to scale AI-led infrastructure and applications

MUMBAI: Black Box Limited (BSE: 500463 | NSE: BBOX), a leading global digital infrastructure integrator, and AIONOS, an AI-native enterprise technology company, on Monday announced a strategic alliance to help enterprises accelerate AI transformation, from infrastructure build-out to measurable business outcomes.

The alliance combines Black Box's expertise in digital infrastructure, including data centres, network connectivity, modern workplace solutions, and managed services, with AIONOS's applied AI platforms and domain-led solutions, enabling organizations to build, deploy, and manage AI with security and resilience embedded at every layer.

C.P. Gurnani and Sanjeev Verma will steer the alliance's global expansion, driving digital impact across enterprises and hyperscalers, a statement said.

C.P. Gurnani, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman, AIONOS, said, "India is at an extraordinary inflection point. We are not just consuming AI, we are building it, exporting it, and setting the agenda for how the world deploys intelligent technology at scale. This alliance between AIONOS and Black Box is a direct expression of that belief. Black Box brings the digital infrastructure engine spanning data centres, enterprise networks, and IoT across 35 plus countries, and together we cover the entire journey from the physical layer to the AI application layer."

The two companies will jointly collaborate in developing industry-focused solutions and expanding go-to-market opportunities across India, North America, EMEA, and APAC. In India, a key focus area will be the rapidly expanding Global Capability Centre (GCC) ecosystem, where the alliance is uniquely positioned to help GCCs build AI-ready infrastructure, deploy enterprise-grade AI solutions, and create intelligent, scalable operations that integrate seamlessly with their global parent organizations.

“AI transformation begins with a strong digital foundation, and Black Box enables that foundation through mission-critical infrastructure, connectivity, and managed services that power enterprise operations worldwide. Combined with AIONOS's applied AI platforms and domain expertise, we can help organisations move from AI ambition to AI at scale, connecting infrastructure, operations, and intelligence to create measurable business value," said Sanjeev Verma, President & CEO, Black Box.
