{"id":"24cd66d3-c922-4ccd-8288-cd51361dd950","name":"Yotta Data Services","slug":"yotta-cloud","description":"Yotta Data Services is the hyperscale data-center and cloud arm of India's Hiranandani Group, and one of the country's two most prominent domestic GPU-cloud operators alongside Tata's Tata Communications and E2E Networks. Its AI compute brand, Shakti Cloud, launched in 2024 after Yotta became one of the first six global NVIDIA Cloud Partners and the first in APAC, and now runs out of two of the largest data-center campuses in India: NM1 in Panvel (Navi Mumbai), marketed as Asia's largest Tier IV Gold facility, and D1 in Greater Noida, with a third campus (G1) in GIFT City, Gujarat.\\n\\nShakti Cloud's positioning is explicitly \"sovereign AI\": Indian data, Indian-owned campuses, and pricing quoted in rupees, aimed at Indian model labs (Sarvam AI, Fractal), academic customers (IIT Madras), the government's IndiaAI mission, and enterprises with data-residency requirements. Disclosed inventory is 8,000+ H100s with H200 in the fleet and B200 marked \"coming soon\"; the company originally announced a phased 32,000-H100 build with NVIDIA in 2024, so the 8,000 figure appears to be the currently-lit portion rather than the full committed order. Published on-demand pricing sits at ₹356/hour for a single H100 (roughly $4.20/hr at 2026 rates), notably above US neocloud pricing but priced against local sovereignty rather than global spot.\\n\\nWhat distinguishes Yotta from the US neocloud pack is that it is not a pure-play GPU startup. It is a data-center operator first (colocation, Tier IV halls, cybersecurity, managed services) that layered GPU-as-a-service on top of its own owned real estate, which is why its GPU cluster sits inside its own campuses rather than in leased hyperscaler space. It is privately held inside the Hiranandani family group and does not disclose venture funding, employee count, or a full GPU roadmap number, which puts it on the lower-transparency end of the operator field.","status":"active","founded":2019,"hq":"Mumbai, India","hqLat":null,"hqLng":null,"hqGeocodedAt":null,"hqAddress":null,"hqPrecision":null,"website":"https://yotta.com","fundingTotal":null,"type":null,"roles":[],"reviewStatus":"reviewed","lifecycleState":"active","supersededByCompanyId":null,"sources":[{"url":"https://yotta.com","title":"Yotta Data Services corporate site (leadership, campuses, business lines)","publisher":"Yotta Data Services"},{"url":"https://shakticloud.ai","title":"Shakti Cloud (GPU inventory, NVIDIA partner status, reference workloads, named customers)","publisher":"Yotta / Shakti Cloud"},{"url":"https://shakticloud.ai/pricing","title":"Shakti Cloud published GPU pricing (H100, L40S, dedicated vs on-demand)","publisher":"Yotta / Shakti Cloud"}],"keyFacts":[{"label":"Parent + ownership","value":"Privately held subsidiary of India's Hiranandani Group; no disclosed outside venture funding","sourceUrl":"https://yotta.com"},{"label":"GPU inventory (currently deployed)","value":"8,000+ NVIDIA H100 GPUs on Shakti Cloud; H200 in fleet; B200 marked 'coming soon'.
