STT GDC says the investment reflects confidence in India’s economy as well as demand for digital infrastructure, driven by the surge in data consumption, cloud computing, digital transformation, and growing adoption of AI applications.
“Prime Minister Modi's vision for Digital India has paved the way for opportunity; today the India digital economy's growth rate of almost three times overall GDP growth is putting the country on pace to achieve a US$1 trillion digital economy by 2027-2028,” said STT GDC group CEO and president Bruno Lopez.
STT GDC claims the investment solidifies its leadership in India where it has a command of about 28% of market share by revenue.
