Industry experts convened at DCD Connect India in Mumbai this week to address some critical questions facing India's data centre landscape.
Sethi moderated a discussion which also included Azizbeg Mirza in the panel. The conversation revolved around Sovereign AI and its implications on digital infrastructure, and how the industry must evolve to support local processing, storage and governance frameworks that align with national priorities.
Over two sessions, Mohan explored capital requirements, grid readiness, and the future of data centre development beyond metros. He emphasized on how scaling to the next gigawatt of capacity requires not just financial investment, but coordination with power infrastructure and that India's digital infrastructure future includes expanding into tier II and tier III cities, which present opportunities for strategic capacity development, bringing new considerations around location, connectivity and local partnerships.
With India's data centre capacity expanding rapidly to meet AI-driven demand, these conversations are essential for building sustainable, scalable infrastructure that serves the nation's digital ambitions.
