"India is building the future—scalable, sustainable, and AI-ready. For businesses worldwide, it's a call to innovate alongside a country that's harnessing digital power and green energy to shape the next generation of global solutions."
Takeaways:
India's Data Center Capacity is Rapidly Expanding: Over the past decade, India’s data center capacity grew sixfold from 200 megawatts to 1,200 megawatts. This growth is set to continue, driven by digital adoption and the need for more storage and processing power.
Huge Untapped Potential for Infrastructure: While India has grown significantly in digital infrastructure, the data center capacity per capita remains far lower than in developed nations, highlighting a substantial growth opportunity.
Green Power and Sustainability: Over 50% of India’s data centers are powered by renewable energy, making India a sustainable and cost-effective choice for global companies looking for green-powered infrastructure.
AI and Cloud Services for Global Markets: India’s expertise in digital services positions it as a major future hub for AI services, not only to serve local needs but also as an AI provider to the world, building on its software and services legacy.
Digital Demand is Driving Infrastructure Development: India’s digital adoption across both consumer and enterprise spaces, including high cloud adoption, is accelerating the need for robust backend infrastructure, creating massive opportunities for data center growth.
AI Training in India is on the Rise: With the availability of Nvidia chips and other advanced hardware, India is well-positioned to handle global demand for AI training. Companies can train models in India at lower costs and then deploy them internationally, making India a strategic AI training hub.
