Background

Tata Elxswas created as a joint venture between the Tata group and Elxsi, which produced mainframe computers. However, Elxsi went out of business in the early 1990s owing to the shift in consumer preferences across the world - mainframes took a backseat with the advent of Personal Computers (PCs). The Tata group retained the “Elxsi” name as part of the Tata group of companies.

Tata Elxsi's offerings include complete and integrated product design solutions: hardware, software and embedded electronics — across multiple technology domains such as Digital signal processing and embedded software, hardware, multimedia, computer networking, storage, visual and scientific computing and wireless. The company also provides mechanical product design for electronic enclosures, appliances and packaging, from concept to implementation and tool design.
