Yotta Data Services, India’s leading hyperscale data center provider, is partnering with NVIDIA to build a massive artificial intelligence hub that will change how India handles high-speed computing.
This landmark NVIDIA Yotta collaboration aims to establish one of the largest NVIDIA DGX Cloud clusters in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Notably, Yotta holds the distinction of being India’s first NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) reference platform, and one of only five such partners worldwide, strengthening the depth of this collaboration.
By bringing world-class hardware to local soil, the NVIDIA Yotta Partnership is setting the stage for India to become a global leader in AI development.
A Multi-Billion Dollar Leap for Indian AI
The scale of this NVIDIA Yotta deal is truly historic for the Indian tech landscape.
Yotta has committed to an investment exceeding $2 billion to deploy 20,736 liquid-cooled NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs. These chips are among the most advanced in the world, designed specifically to power the next generation of AI applications.
The infrastructure will be housed at Yotta’s 60 MW D2 data center in Greater Noida, with additional support coming from their Navi Mumbai campus. This supercluster is expected to go live by August 2026.
As part of a four-year engagement valued at over $1 billion, NVIDIA will also utilize Yotta’s infrastructure to host its own DGX Cloud services to deliver high-performance compute capacity to global and regional customers from Indian soil.
Powering the IndiaAI Mission
Beyond private enterprise, the NVIDIA Yotta Partnership directly supports India’s AI objectives.
Yotta will dedicate more than 10,000 NVIDIA B300 GPUs from the supercluster to the IndiaAI Mission, strengthening sovereign AI capabilities.
- Sovereign AI Development: These resources will help Indian researchers and startups build foundation models tailored to local languages and cultural contexts.
- Startup Support: Affordable access to high-end compute will allow local startups to scale their products without relying on expensive offshore servers.
- Public Platforms: The infrastructure will support population-scale public AI platforms, moving India from a technology consumer to a technology creator.
Darshan Hiranandani, Co-Founder & Chairman, Yotta Data Services, said, “AI infrastructure is becoming foundational economic infrastructure. This NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra supercluster reinforces India’s position in the global AI value chain.”
Technical Edge of the NVIDIA Yotta Partnership
The new supercluster is built on the NVIDIA Reference Architecture, ensuring it can handle the most demanding tasks. It features:
| Feature | Specification |
| GPU Model | NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra (HGX B300) |
| Total GPU Count | 20,736 Units |
| Networking Speed | 800 Gbps NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand |
| Total Investment | Over $2 Billion |
| Live Date | August 2026 |
The setup is specifically engineered to support trillion-parameter foundation models. This means it can manage multi-million simultaneous prompts, making it ideal for massive inference workloads and frontier-scale training.
Scaling the Future of Shakti Cloud
The deployment significantly enhances Yotta’s Shakti Cloud platform.
Developers will gain access to:
- NVIDIA Nemotron open models
- NVIDIA NIM microservices
- The full NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite
This integrated ecosystem enables what industry leaders call “sovereign AI”, where data, compute, and AI innovation remain within national boundaries.
Moreover, Sunil Gupta, CEO of Yotta, noted that combining Blackwell infrastructure with open AI models allows Indian developers to build globally competitive applications without depending on foreign compute ecosystems.
Part of a Larger NVIDIA India Strategy
The NVIDIA Yotta Partnership announcement aligns with NVIDIA’s efforts to deepen AI infrastructure partnerships in India.
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, NVIDIA also highlighted collaborations across data centers, industrial players, and cloud infrastructure providers to accelerate India’s AI readiness.
India is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most important AI markets, and infrastructure is the foundation of that growth.
This partnership signals confidence not just in India’s developer ecosystem, but in its long-term role in the global AI compute race.
End Note
With over 20,000 Blackwell GPUs going live by August 2026, Yotta plans to scale its AI capacity to over 80,000 GPUs, with long-term ambitions that could reach one million GPUs in the coming years.
As India builds sovereign AI capabilities at scale, the NVIDIA-Yotta partnership represents more than a technology deployment.
It marks India’s transition from AI consumer to AI infrastructure leader, thus positioning the country at the center of the next phase of the global AI revolution.
