Sovereign Data
India data-residency for AI training data: collected, annotated, processed and stored in-country, with documented consent and DPDP-aligned compliance — built for government, BFSI and regulated buyers.
What sovereign data means
Your data never has to leave India
For government, BFSI and regulated buyers, where data is collected, processed and stored is not a detail — it's a requirement. We deliver the whole pipeline in-country.
-
In-country, end to end
Collection, annotation, processing and storage all performed within India — no cross-border transfer of your data.
-
DPDP Act, 2023 aligned
Consent capture, purpose limitation, de-identification SOPs and processing records aligned with India's data-protection law.
-
Documented & auditable
Provenance, consent references and chain-of-custody recorded per item — evidence you can put in front of a regulator.
Why it matters
Built for buyers who can't afford a data-residency surprise
Government programmes, banks, insurers and healthcare providers increasingly require that citizen and customer data — and the AI training data derived from it — stays within national borders. A vendor that quietly ships your data offshore for cheaper annotation is a procurement failure waiting to happen.
We built our operation to remove that risk. Our field collection, annotation workforce and storage infrastructure are India-resident, so you can answer the residency question with evidence, not assurances. Sovereign delivery is available across every service we offer — language data and Physical AI alike.

FAQ
Sovereign data — common questions
- What exactly does India data residency cover?
Collection, annotation, processing and storage are all performed within India. Your data is not transferred offshore at any stage, and we can document the chain-of-custody to prove it.
- How does this align with the DPDP Act, 2023?
We capture consent with purpose limitation, apply de-identification SOPs to personal data, and maintain processing records. Our posture is designed to support your obligations as a data fiduciary under the Act.
- Is sovereign delivery available for Physical AI data too?
Yes. Both Physical AI Data Collection and Physical AI Data Annotation offer India-resident options, including in-country review of sensitive captures.
- Can you provide evidence for a procurement or audit review?
Yes. Each delivery ships with provenance, consent references and a data card; we can provide processing records and chain-of-custody documentation for legal, security and regulatory review.
