India Emerges as AI Data Centre Hub
India is becoming a big place for AI data centres.
A company called NeevCloud says it's cheaper to build these centres in India than in many other countries.
They are opening new centres in places like Raipur, which is much cheaper than big cities like Mumbai.
This helps small companies in India use these services at lower costs.
The company wants to reduce India's dependence on foreign cloud services to avoid risks.
They plan to grow over the next five years and make these services even better and more affordable.
India is becoming a global hub for AI data centres due to government support and cost advantages.
NeevCloud is opening its second data centre in Raipur this month and another in six months.
Building data centres in India is 30% cheaper than using grid line power and 5x cheaper in Tier-II cities.
NeevCloud aims to reduce India's 80-90% dependency on foreign cloud services to mitigate geopolitical risks.
Indian data centre services can be provided at one-fourth the cost of foreign players like AWS.
