Overview

CtrlS Datacenters is India's largest Rated-4 (Tier IV) colocation operator, headquartered in Hyderabad and founded in 2007 by telecom entrepreneur Sridhar Pinnapureddy. The company runs a nationwide footprint of hyperscale campuses in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Noida, and Kolkata, plus a growing set of edge facilities in Tier-2 Indian cities, and pitches itself on Uptime Institute Tier IV certification across the estate.

Once a bootstrapped subsidiary of Pinnapureddy's Pioneer Group, CtrlS has become one of the most heavily capitalized private data-center platforms in Asia. In June 2026, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) committed roughly Rs 7,000 crore (about USD 830 million) at a pre-money valuation of Rs 44,824 crore (about USD 5.4 billion), with a portion of the proceeds earmarked for a joint venture to build out hyperscale campuses. The deal made CPP a cornerstone institutional partner alongside the founding family, which retains majority control.

The company is in the middle of a multi-gigawatt build cycle: a Rs 4,000 crore Chennai data-center park announced in February 2025, a 40-acre Hyderabad hyperscale park, expansion in Mumbai, a first Kolkata facility inaugurated in August 2025, a Rs 500 crore Bhopal build, and a captive solar farm ("GreenVolt1") plus an MoU with NTPC Green Energy for renewable supply. Marquee tenants include the Bombay Stock Exchange, Google (as a Verified Peering Provider), and roughly 60 of the Fortune 500.
