First, we saw the explosion of demand in North America, followed by the initial wave of AI-driven demand in Asia," said Rangu Salgame, chairman, CEO, and Co-founder at PDG. "PDG has been a major beneficiary of this initial surge, and our capacity and capabilities in India have been a significant factor in our success. India is well-positioned to be a global AI leader, and we are determined to play an important role in making that happen. As one of the fastest growing data center operators, our $1 billion investment in India is a testament to our deep commitment to the country’s AI and cloud ecosystems”

PDG recently announced plans for a 500MW expansion strategy across Asia, including a $5 billion investment in Malaysia, Indonesia, and India. STT GDC, AdaniConneX, NTT, Nxtra, CtrlS, Colt, and Tata all have a presence in Chennai. Mumbai is home to operators such as Digital Edge, Iron Mountain, NTT, CtrlS, Nxtra, Tata, and Equinix.
