Hyderabad-Based Company Secures Major Data Annotation Project from Stratos Forge Inc. Following Highly Successful Pilot Phase

Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited (BCSSL) has secured a major full-scale Data Annotation and AI Training Services order from the US-based AI innovator, Stratos Forge Inc, valued at approximately Rs 110.08 crore. This significant contract follows the highly successful completion of a pilot engagement, which was valued at Rs 18.00 crore. During the pilot, BCSSL achieved an exceptional annotation accuracy of 96.68%, which strongly impressed Stratos Forge and led to the full rollout. This contract highlights BCSSL's strength as a premier provider of AI-driven enterprise and cybersecurity solutions, leveraging its in-house delivery infrastructure and strong partnerships with university Centres of Excellence (CoEs) to deliver scalable, high-precision AI data operations.

The success of the partnership is built upon BCSSL’s deployment of advanced, automation-driven annotation techniques essential for next-generation AI systems. The project will utilise sophisticated methods across four key areas to handle complex data modalities like 3D LiDAR, semantic text corpora, and high-resolution imagery. These techniques include AI-Assisted & Automated Annotation (such as Active Learning and Pre-Labelling to reduce manual effort), and Advanced Quality Control Systems (Inter-Annotator Agreement (IAA), Gold Sets, and Semantic Consistency Checks) to guarantee data reliability and accuracy. Furthermore, BCSSL will implement Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) architectures and draw upon the domain-specific expertise of its CoE partners in areas like autonomous systems, robotics, and NLP to meet Stratos Forge’s stringent production requirements.

The extended engagement solidifies the relationship between the two companies, with both leaders expressing high confidence in the partnership's future. Mr. Janaki Yarlagadda, Chairman of BCSSL, praised the contract as a testament to their automation frameworks, CoE talent pipeline, and ability to deliver world-class AI training data at scale. A spokesperson for Stratos Forge Inc similarly noted BCSSL’s “exceptional technical precision and execution quality” during the pilot. This collaboration is pivotal for Stratos Forge, enabling them to build the highly accurate datasets necessary for powering their advanced AI products and enterprise systems, and further cements BCSSL's reputation as a key global enabler of progress in mission-critical and enterprise digital transformation sectors.
