Together, the companies are enabling education institutions to deploy AI responsibly, without compromising data security, compliance, or pedagogical integrity.

The secure, upgraded network infrastructure ensures safe data storage and retrieval, supported by a cost-optimised cloud architecture offering competitive pricing.
Swaminathan Ganesan, Co-Founder & CEO of Smartail, Says, “As a deeptech AI grading software company, our cloud choice is mission-critical. After evaluating multiple providers, BharathCloud stood out for its high availability, scalability, low latency, GPU-CPU performance, and cost efficiency. Its secure, sovereign infrastructure enables us to scale DeepGrade, handling over 100,000 answer evaluations daily while ensuring data security, AI sovereignty, and superior customer outcomes.”
“Partnering with Smartail allows us to showcase how deep-tech driven AI cloud infrastructure can empower educators and transform learning institutions, while supporting India’s broader digital transformation,” said Rahul Takkallapally, Co-Founder, BharathCloud. “We are delighted to be serving Smartail, one of the top ten startups selected by the IndiaAI Mission, and to be part of their journey.
