The agreements, signed by the Department of Information Technology, cover a wide range of sectors including artificial intelligence (AI), digital transformation, cloud computing, cybersecurity, robotics, data management, IT-enabled services (ITeS) and digital infrastructure.

Officials described the investment commitments as one of the largest technology-sector initiatives undertaken by the state government.

Among the major partnerships, Google India signed an MoU with the Department of Information Technology to collaborate on digital transformation, AI adoption, cloud infrastructure and the development of a technology ecosystem in the state.

Salesforce also partnered with the state government to support AI-enabled citizen services, customer relationship management (CRM) solutions and digital governance platforms aimed at improving public service delivery.

The department further held preliminary discussions with Tata Consultancy Services regarding future collaborations in the technology sector.

Additional agreements were signed with companies including Da’Spatio Rhobotique Laboratory Pvt Ltd, Bodhi Tree Multimedia Ltd, Elvania Energies 369 Pvt Ltd and Indigi Consulting and Solutions Pvt Ltd, focusing on emerging technologies and innovation-driven projects.

A major attraction at the conclave was the Directorate of Information Technology’s dedicated IT Pavilion, which showcased the state’s IT/ITeS Policy, Startup Policy and Data Centre Policy. Officials also presented upcoming initiatives, including proposed policies on Artificial Intelligence, AVGC-XR (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, Comics and Extended Reality) and Global Capability Centres (GCCs).

The pavilion highlighted several flagship infrastructure projects, including the proposed IT Park, the Tripura IT and Data Ecosystem Zone (TIDEZ), and Bharti Airtel’s Rs 200-crore Nxtra Data Centre project in Agartala.

Innovations developed by startups and technology entrepreneurs also drew attention, including robotics solutions emerging from the incubation ecosystem at National Institute of Technology Agartala.

Jeya Ragul Geshan B, Director of the Department of Information Technology, said the state’s policy framework was already generating tangible investment outcomes.

“Our policies are already delivering results. We have successfully attracted a Rs 200-crore investment from Airtel for a data centre in Agartala. Furthermore, our startup ecosystem is thriving with 134 registered startups, 59 recognised companies and more than Rs 2.7 crore disbursed as fiscal assistance,” he said.

The investment commitments are expected to strengthen Tripura’s digital infrastructure, create employment opportunities and position the state as an emerging technology hub in Northeast India. With growing interest from leading technology firms and expanding policy support, the government hopes to accelerate the state’s transition towards a knowledge-based and innovation-led economy.
