Yotta to Provide Over 9,000 GPUs in Support of India AI Mission

Yotta Data Services will provide over 9,216 GPUs, including 8,192 NVIDIA H100 GPUs and 1,024 L40S GPUs, under the India AI Mission in a phased manner to government entities, start-ups, and enterprises via Yotta’s Shakti Cloud, the company said in an official statement on Monday.

The company’s Shakti Cloud delivers ultra-low latency, high-performance AI compute power to government entities, start-ups, and enterprises. Its offerings include AI Labs for students, AI Workspaces, GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), and API endpoints for AI models, enabling rapid AI development and deployment.

“The government has chosen to empower service providers to take on the investment risks, deploy GPUs, and operate AI services on a cloud-based mode, instead of directly investing in building data centers, purchasing GPUs, and managing AI infrastructure,” said Yotta MD and CEO Sunil Gupta.

What sets this initiative apart is its demand-side funding strategy, which places financial resources directly in the hands of researchers, start-ups, and enterprises that require GPU access for training and deploying AI models, he added.

Gupta further exhorted Indian enterprises and startups to get inspired by the Indian government's vision of made-in-India models and take advantage of Yotta’s readily available capacity to build their own LLM models. He also appreciated the India AI Mission team for their dedication and vision in making India a global AI powerhouse.

The company eliminates the need for heavy upfront investments in hardware, enabling Indian researchers, start-ups, and entrepreneurs to accelerate AI development. Moreover, its secure and indigenous data hosting solutions ensure that AI models are trained on locally stored datasets, adhering to data sovereignty regulations.

It has also forged global collaborations with Microsoft Azure AI, Sarvam AI, and Hanooman AI. These partnerships enhance AI accessibility, foster talent development, and empower organizations to leverage cutting-edge AI tools within India’s sovereign cloud ecosystem.
