- Mavenir and Neysa are pitching a sovereign AI stack built for telcos seeking GPU capacity, cost control and tighter data governance
- Mavenir wants to help operators rein in AI costs and keep data sovereign
- It plans to run its own AI products on the platform, too
Mavenir is looking to make it easier for enterprises and operators to deploy sovereign AI infrastructure, teaming with India-based neocloud Neysa to provide a prepackaged stack.
The partnership marries Mavenir’s orchestration, agent and token-metering capabilities via its AI Integrated Platform with Neysa’s AI cloud stack, GPU capacity and deployment environment.
Mavenir and Neysa pitched the stack as addressing twin problems faced by enterprises and telcos: spiraling token costs and a need for sovereignty.
Neysa Chief Revenue Officer Xavier Kurian said the combination provides “a governed, metered way to run AI on infrastructure they control, with cost visibility built in.”
The move comes as demand for sovereign capabilities rises. Gartner recently predicted that sovereign cloud infrastructure as a service spending will jump 35.6% year on year to $80 billion in 2026. Though China and the North America are expected to spend the most, the largest growth is expected in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Europe.
Founded in 2023, Neysa is one of a growing cohort of neocloud providers. It recently secured $600 million in funding in a round led by private equity company Blackstone to help it fuel the planned deployment of an additional 20,000+ GPUs in India. At the time, it outlined plans to raise an additional $600 million through debt. It previously raised $30 million in Series A funding in 2024.
In addition to pitching the platform to operators and enterprises, Mavenir plans to use Neysa’s infrastructure to develop, test and scale its own AI products, and for its own internal transformation efforts.
“We’re not just telling operators to adopt AI, but we’re also building our own AI products on this same stack, from service assurance to security agents to voice AI,” Mavenir CTSO Bejoy Pankajakshan said.
Products in the test and scale pipeline include AI Service Assurance for automated network operations, AI Security Agents for fraud and threat detection, and AI Voice Services such as real-time translation and virtual agents for small and midsize businesses. Mavenir said the setup should help speed those products to market while keeping customer data within sovereign infrastructure.
