Yotta Empaneled in India AI Mission to Accelerate AI Adoption with Advanced GPU & AI Cloud Services
Yotta Data
Services has been officially empaneled under the India AI Mission,
a Government of India initiative aimed at establishing the country as a global
leader in artificial intelligence (AI). As a leading AI and cloud services
provider, Yotta brings unmatched GPU capacity, advanced AI
platforms, and a robust sovereign cloud infrastructure to accelerate AI-driven
innovation in India.
With over
9,216 advanced GPUs, committed to the India AI Mission (and to be made
available in phases), including 8,192 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 1,024 L40S GPUs,
Yotta’s Shakti Cloud delivers ultra-low latency, high-performance AI compute
power to government entities, startups, and enterprises. Its offerings include
AI Labs for students, AI Workspaces, GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), and API
endpoints for AI models, enabling rapid AI development and deployment.
All these
services are available from Yotta’s NM1 campus, India’s largest and most
scalable data center, offering instant access to GPU computing power. The
highly flexible and scalable architecture of the Uptime Institute Tier IV
Certified NM1 data center enables organizations to consume AI
resources on demand
Yotta is
playing a pivotal role in advancing India’s AI ecosystem by supporting the India
AI Innovation Center’s latest initiative to develop indigenous foundational
models. With its state-of-the-art hyperscale data centers and
AI-ready cloud infrastructure, the company provides the high-performance
computing (HPC) capabilities essential for training Large Multimodal Models
(LMMs), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Small Language Models (SLMs).
By offering
access to world-class GPU and TPU clusters, the company eliminates the need for
heavy upfront investments in hardware, enabling Indian researchers, startups,
and entrepreneurs to accelerate AI development. Moreover, its secure and
indigenous data hosting solutions ensure that AI models are trained on locally
stored datasets, adhering to data sovereignty regulations. The company also
provides structured and unstructured data lakes, facilitating robust model
training.
Further
strengthening its value proposition, the company has forged global
collaborations with Microsoft Azure AI, Sarvam AI, and Hanooman AI. These
partnerships enhance AI accessibility, foster talent development, and empower
organizations to leverage cutting-edge AI tools within India’s sovereign cloud
ecosystem. By supporting research institutions, startups, and enterprises, the
company is driving India’s AI revolution forward.
Sunil Gupta,
Co-founder, CEO, and MD of Yotta, emphasized
the strategic and market-driven approach of the India AI Mission in
accelerating AI infrastructure and innovation. He noted that instead of
directly investing in building data centers, purchasing GPUs, and managing AI
infrastructure, the government has chosen to empower service providers to take
on the investment risks, deploy GPUs, and operate AI services on a cloud-based
model.
What sets
this initiative apart is its demand-side funding strategy, which places
financial resources directly in the hands of researchers, startups, and
enterprises that require GPU access for training and deploying AI models. This
enables them to pay for AI services provided by the private sector, fostering a
competitive and sustainable AI ecosystem. By focusing on its core role of
policy and governance, the India AI Mission is enabling AI ecosystem players to
innovate and scale at various layers of the AI stack, encouraging a thriving,
market-led AI economy rather than a government-controlled infrastructure model.
This
approach ensures a scalable and sustainable AI industry that can compete
globally while addressing India’s unique AI needs. Gupta further exhorted
Indian enterprises and startups to get inspired by the Indian Govt.’s vision of
made-in-India models and take advantage of Yotta’s readily available capacity
to build their own LLM models.
He also
expressed his appreciation to the India AI Mission team for their dedication
and vision in making India a global AI powerhouse.
He greatly
appreciated the leadership and efforts of Mr. Abhishek Singh,
Additional Secretary at MeitY and CEO of the India AI Mission, who conceived the idea of India AI Mission and is a figurehead in
international AI governance and policy. He also expressed his gratitude
for Ms. Kavita Bhatia, COO of the India AI Mission and Scientist G
at MeitY, and Mr. Sushil Kumar Jangid, Scientist ‘B’ in the AI & Emerging
Technologies Group at MeitY, for their pivotal role in advancing
India’s AI ecosystem and democratizing access to AI resources and for being
drivers of the India AI Mission since its inception. He also highlighted the
contributions of the young and dynamic, Mr. Abhishek Das, GM-Compute at
India AI Mission and formerly Joint Director at C-DAC Pune, whose expertise
in high-performance computing and AI infrastructure has given a fillip to the
compute mobilization efforts of the India AI Mission and strengthened its drive
towards innovation and technological advancement.
By integrating advanced AI infrastructure, Yotta supports India’s
digital transformation, ensuring AI is secure, accessible, and impactful across
key sectors
