LTM Wins NVIDIA Partner Network Rising Star Award at GTC 2026

The Mumbai-based IT service firm LTM, a Larsen & Toubro subsidiary, earned the consulting honor for accelerating enterprise AI deployments using NVIDIA’s technology stack.

LTM, the technology services and consulting arm of Larsen & Toubro, has been named the NVIDIA Partner Network Rising Star Consulting Partner of the Year at NVIDIA GTC 2026, the company disclosed on March 17.

The award, confered through NVIDIA’s global partner ecosystem, recognizes consulting firms demonstrating measurable progress in moving enterprise clients from AI pilots to production-scale deployments. LTM operates across 40 countries, employs 87,000 people, and serves more than 700 enterprise clients.

Venu Lambu, CEO and MD, LTM, said in the company’s official statement that membership in the NVIDIA Partner Network places the firm “at the centre of NVIDIA’s innovation ecosystem,” enabling it to build and scale enterprise-ready AI solutions faster.

The recognition lands as Indian IT services companies face pressure to demonstrate concrete AI revenue rather than pilot-stage activity. LTM’s positioning around what it calls “business AI services”, integrating NVIDIA’s infrastructure with its own domain and industry expertise, reflects a broader industry push to convert NVIDIA’s hardware dominance into enterprise-level consulting mandates.

The NVIDIA Partner Network brings together technology and consulting firms globally to deliver AI solutions built on NVIDIA’s platforms. The Rising Star category within the program specifically tracks firms with accelerating momentum rather than established incumbency.

It’s unclear how many consulting firms competed for the award or what specific client engagements served as the basis for the evaluation. NVIDIA has not published selection criteria for the NPN awards on its official partner portal as of this filing.

Separately, LTM was recognized as an Innovator in Avasant’s Generative AI Services 2025 RadarView, according to the company’s newsroom, indicating a pattern of third-party validation the firm has been accumulating ahead of what analysts expect will be a competitive year for enterprise AI services contracts in India.

GTC 2026, NVIDIA’s annual developer and enterprise conference, has served as the backdrop for several partner announcements this week as the chipmaker continues to expand its ecosystem of firms certified to implement its AI infrastructure at scale.
