‘We will launch public cloud platform by Jan’
What are some of the major projects in the pipeline? We are right now working on five more projects. Two of these data centre parks are coming up in Mumbai (Powai and Chandiwali). Both these projects are two buildings each with about 67 MW of IT power each.
We are also planning to set up a data centre in GIFT City, Gujarat by October. We are building another data centre park containing multiple buildings in Chennai, with the first slated to be live by October 2024. We are also exploring markets beyond India.
By July 2024, we will be launching a two-building campus of 30MW in Dhaka, Bangladesh. We feel there are markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, where still there’s a whole lot of potential for growth. Like India, these markets have drivers like fast adoption of digitization but corresponding capacities haven’t been created there.
Apart from large data centre parks, we are also focusing on establishing edge data centres. With the rollout of 5G connection along with increased use cases of artificial intelligence, there is a huge need to have data processing at edge locations since the latency requirements are in microseconds. We already have edge data centres in tier–2 and -3 cities like Lucknow, Guwahati, Bhubaneshwar, Coimbatore, Indore, Nagpur, Jaipur, and Chandigarh.
We plan to build a large number of these small-scale edge centres throughout the country by either building them ground up or partnering with telecom operators already present at such locations. Last year, you said Yotta will launch a public cloud platform to take on the likes of AWS, Google Cloud. What is the status of the project? Right from the time Yotta was established, our vision was to offer both co-location services, and manage
