Even as the AI boom is impacting businesses the world over, it is creating a serendipitous opportunity for India. As the soaring demand for GPU infra, coupled with power shortage in the West, forces companies to look towards India for data centre (DC) capacity, developers are racing to build AI-ready DCs.L&T Vyoma, the digital infrastructure arm of Larsen & Toubro, is betting big on this window of opportunity and accelerating the expansion of its Chennai campus, which has transformed from a conventional DC into an “AI factory” serving varied customer needs.After expanding from basic co-location services to private, public, and sovereign cloud options, L&T Vyoma’s “AI factory” now deploys GPU clusters through a landmark Nvidia partnership.A digital fortressA walk-through of the DC, located near Sriperumbudur on the outskirts of Chennai, offers a glimpse into a future that is already fast hurtling into the present.
