Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has partnered with private equity firm TPG to fund half of a $2 billion initiative aimed at building AI-powered data centers in India. The project, named HyperVault, addresses the growing demand for AI compute resources amid a significant gap between India’s data generation and its data center capacity. With India producing 20% of global data but only 3% of data center capacity, tech giants are investing billions to expand infrastructure. The initiative includes liquid-cooled data centers to manage the high energy demands of AI workloads, though this raises concerns about water scarcity in urban areas. Jagmeet Singh highlights the strategic importance of this project for India’s tech ecosystem.
