BENGALURU, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 22, 2025--
Civo, the company reimagining cloud, today announced the launch of relaxAI in India. A leading AI Assistant, built with a privacy-first design, relaxAI offers organisations a sovereign AI solution at a time when data control and security have never been more critical.
In today's volatile geopolitical landscape, global reliance on foreign cloud providers and AI platforms introduces significant risks, from cross-border data exposure to compliance uncertainty. With growing concerns around extraterritorial data access, India's businesses are demanding AI tools that offer security, transparency, and total control. relaxAI is Civo's answer to that call.
Unlike many AI platforms that route data through foreign jurisdictions or store it offshore, relaxAI will be hosted exclusively in Indian data centres, operated by an Indian entity, and governed solely by Indian law. relaxAI is positioned to support industries where sovereignty, privacy, and compliance are paramount. Civo has also ensured relaxAI aligns with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), giving users full control over their data: it is not used to train AI models by default, and customers can opt out or delete their data at any time.
relaxAI empowers users with cutting-edge AI tools across a wide range of use cases, including:
relaxAI is available in multiple languages, including Hindi, and is designed to serve both individual users and enterprise teams.
The launch of relaxAI follows Civo's INR 200 crore commitment to the Indian tech ecosystem, announced last year. This strategic investment supports the development of local infrastructure, talent, and tools, empowering India's developer community, startups, and enterprises with secure, scalable AI solutions tailored to local needs.
Josh Mesout, Chief Innovation Officer at Civo, said, 'Control over data is a fundamental concern for businesses adopting AI, especially for India's rapidly accelerating tech sector. With relaxAI, organisations retain complete oversight of how their data is used, with the ability to grant or withdraw consent as needed. This commitment to transparency ensures that data is handled responsibly, empowering businesses to leverage AI with confidence.'
To celebrate the launch, Civo is offering an exclusive 50% discount for the first 100 users who sign up for an annual plan using the code INDIAFIRST100. Pricing starts at ₹575 per user/month, with a free plan also available. Paid tiers include guaranteed service-level agreements, in-app support, and expanded features.
