India's AI Leap: $2B Nvidia Hub to Power Asia's Future
18 Feb
Summary
- Yotta Data Services is building one of Asia's largest AI computing hubs.
- The project involves a $2 billion investment with Nvidia's new chips.
- An AI supercluster is planned to go live by August near New Delhi.
Yotta Data Services is set to construct one of Asia's most extensive AI computing hubs, a project involving an investment exceeding $2 billion. This significant undertaking includes a substantial four-year collaboration with Nvidia, valued at over $1 billion. Through this partnership, Nvidia will establish one of the largest DGX Cloud clusters in the Asia-Pacific region within Yotta's data centre infrastructure.
The initiative is poised to go live by August, with the primary supercluster deployment planned at Yotta's campus near New Delhi. Additional capacity will be drawn from its facility located in Mumbai, India's financial hub. This development aligns with a broader trend of global cloud providers expanding their AI data centre footprints in India, driven by surging demand for generative AI.
The investment also occurs against the backdrop of evolving global supply chains for advanced AI chips, influenced by US export controls. This has prompted greater strategic partnerships in key markets like India. Yotta, a part of Indian conglomerate Hiranandani's real estate group, is a recognized Nvidia partner in India, operating multiple data centre campuses across the country.
