💥 Hold onto your seats, folks! Google just dropped a bombshell, announcing a whopping $15 billion investment in India’s largest AI hub outside the US. This isn’t just any data center; it’s a campus, and it’s set to be the biggest in Asia, both in capacity and investment size. The cherry on top? It’s coming to the vibrant city of Visakhapatnam!
🤝 This massive project is a collaboration between Google, the mighty Adani Group, and India’s very own Airtel. But wait, there’s more! It also includes a shiny new international subsea gateway. Talk about a powerhouse team-up!
🌍 The global AI data center race is heating up, and India is now a major player on the track. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian couldn’t contain his excitement, “It’s the largest AI hub that we’re investing in anywhere in the world outside of the US.”
💚 But let’s not forget about the environment. Data centers can be energy guzzlers, and we’re all about sustainability here. The state IT minister, Nara Lokesh, reassured us, “In an era where data is the new oil, such initiatives will serve as a strategic advantage.”
🌐 Meanwhile, the rest of the world is not sitting still. The UAE is set to switch on the first 200 megawatts of its planned 5-gigawatt AI campus next year. Microsoft’s building the ‘world’s most powerful data center’ in a billion-dollar AI spending spree. And Amazon? Well, they’ve already spent over $100 billion on data centers, aiming to increase their 32% cloud market share.
So, buckle up, folks! The AI data center race is on, and India’s in the lead with Google’s game-changing investment. The future of AI is here, and it’s happening in Visakhapatnam! 🚀💻🇮🇳
