Chennai: Sify Technologies, a prominent player in cloud infrastructure and services, has announced a visionary $5 billion investment plan over the next five years. This ambitious initiative is aimed at expanding the company’s data center footprint, modernizing internal systems using AI-driven operations (AI Ops), and acquiring GPUs to enhance its competitive edge in the fast-growing telecom and data center markets.
As part of its roadmap, Sify plans to establish smaller AI inferencing facilities in 20 Tier-II cities, including Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Nagpur. These facilities, with a capacity of around 10 megawatts each, are designed to decentralize AI innovation and bring cutting-edge technologies to regional markets. By doing so, the company aims to address the growing demand for AI services and inferencing all over India.
Having evolved from being India’s first private internet service provider to a leader in enterprise networking, cloud services, and digital transformation, Sify continues to innovate. The company recently secured ₹600 crore from the Kotak Data Centre Fund, backed by global investors such as ADIA and GIC, to support its expansion plans.
As the only Indian company listed on Nasdaq apart from Infosys, Sify Technologies is expected to solidify its leadership in India’s AI and digital transformation journey, empowering businesses nationwide.
