Nvidia tie-up gives Netweb a unique advantage, but it isn't immune to risks
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. The stock of high-end computing solutions provider Netweb Technologies India has soared 80% in the past six months. In September the company bagged two orders for servers and artificial intelligence (AI) systems worth ₹2,184 crore.
As Nvidia’s sole original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner in India, Netweb has a clear edge – it gets access to Nvidia’s latest products 12-24 months before the rest of the industry, according to ICICI Securities. With this, Netweb has surpassed its medium-term revenue growth guidance of 35-40%. Revenue grew at a more than 60% compound annual rate between FY23 and FY25, beating the industry.
Through technological partnerships with Nvidia, AMD and Intel, Netweb has acquired a distinctive R&D edge in three key segments – high-performance computing (HPC), AI systems and workstations, and private cloud hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). Its pricing power as India’s only full-stack solutions provider for high-end computing solutions has helped keep margins above those of its competitors in the electronics manufacturing services industry. Lately, Ebitda and profit-after-tax margins have been around 13-14% and 9-10%, respectively.
Netweb also stands to benefit from government support through IndiaAI and the National Supercomputing Mission, which have a combined outlay of ₹14,800 crore, as well as, the government’s push for data localization through the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act. Netweb has also bagged production-linked incentives to manufacture IT hardware, and telecom and networking products. But risks linger.
