Gorilla & Yotta to deploy USD $500m AI GPUs in India

Gorilla Technology has signed agreements with Yotta Data Services to deploy large-scale GPU infrastructure in India. Both companies expect the deal to support a multi-year roll-out of AI compute capacity for local customers.

The initial deployment includes about 640 high-performance servers with more than 5,000 GPUs designed for AI workloads. Gorilla expects it to generate more than USD $500 million in revenue over the next five years, based on what it called current commercial assumptions.

Nasdaq-listed Gorilla is headquartered in London and operates across security intelligence, network intelligence, business intelligence, IoT technology and data centres.

Yotta is an Indian digital infrastructure provider that operates hyperscale data centre campuses and sovereign cloud services. It also offers AI cloud products through its Shakti Cloud platform.

How it works

Under the long-term commercial model set out in the agreements, Gorilla will supply the GPU infrastructure, while Yotta will implement and operate the systems at its Uptime Tier IV NM1 data centre in Navi Mumbai.

The deployment uses NVIDIA HGX B200 servers and follows the NVIDIA Reference Architecture. Yotta plans to deliver AI compute services, including hyperscale GPU clusters, bare-metal GPUs, virtual machines, AI lab workstations, serverless GPUs and AI model endpoints.

Target customers include enterprises and government organisations. The deal aligns with a broader push by several countries to build domestic AI compute resources and data infrastructure, often referred to as "sovereign AI".

Yotta footprint

Yotta operates two hyperscale campuses. Its Greater Noida facility is described as scalable to 250 MW, while its Navi Mumbai campus has a roadmap scaling up to 2 GW.

The company positions itself as vertically integrated across data centre engineering, green energy sourcing, managed services, cloud services and GPU compute. It also says it has been empanelled under the IndiaAI Mission.

NVIDIA has described Yotta as India's first Reference Platform, NVIDIA Cloud Partner, and one of six globally in that category. Yotta also said its platform could scale to more than 1 million GPUs within the next 3 to 5 years.

Market context

The announcement comes as Indian policymakers and technology providers focus on expanding domestic compute and cloud capacity. The companies cited projections that India's AI market could reach USD $17 billion by 2027, with annual growth of 25% to 35%.

The statement also referenced more than USD $1.1 billion in IndiaAI Mission funding and the deployment of 38,000 GPUs under that effort. It added a government view that AI could contribute USD $1.7 trillion to India's economy by 2035.

Yotta has publicly committed 9,216 advanced GPUs to the national effort.

Company remarks

Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology, described the agreement as a significant step for Gorilla's infrastructure business and its presence in India.

"This is a defining step for Gorilla. India is one of the world's most important AI growth markets, where sovereign ambition, hyperscale compute demand and real infrastructure deployment are accelerating together. By signing up with Yotta, we are placing Gorilla directly into India's AI infrastructure buildout with a partner that brings scale, credibility and execution. This deployment alone is expected to contribute more than $500 million over five years, and we are working with Yotta to identify additional projects where we can collaborate."

Sunil Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Yotta, said the market would depend on access to compute and partners that can deliver infrastructure at scale. He pointed to Shakti Cloud as the platform Yotta plans to use to deliver sovereign AI infrastructure for Indian demand and overseas requirements.

"India's AI ambition will be built on access to serious compute, serious infrastructure and partners that can execute at scale. Yotta has built its Shakti Cloud platform to serve that need through sovereign AI infrastructure designed for India's next wave of enterprise, public sector and national AI demand, as well as serving global GPU compute demand from India. We believe Gorilla brings strong complementary capability in GPU infrastructure and commercial execution, and we see this collaboration as an important step in scaling AI capacity in India. In Gorilla, we see a long-term infrastructure partner, who shall help us realise the vision of enabling large scale GPU deployment in India over next three years to meet the AI needs of India, APAC, Middle East as well as Global South."

Thomas Sennhauser, Gorilla's Chief Technology Officer for Infrastructure, said the agreements validated Gorilla's infrastructure model and its ability to execute at scale.

"This is a major milestone that validates both our infrastructure model and our ability to execute at scale with serious counterparties. We are now embedding Gorilla into a live, sovereign AI infrastructure buildout with a partner that has real operating depth, real technical capability and real market reach. From an infrastructure standpoint, this gives us a meaningful platform to deploy, manage and expand high-performance AI capacity in one of the most important growth markets in the world."

The companies are also exploring an expanded deployment beyond the initial roll-out, including a potential addition of more than 5,000 servers over the next year and possible data centre development initiatives in Thailand.
