A lot of this could be attributed to the necessary capabilities and unique expertise to build out critical digital infrastructure that can best support our customers across the entire country. “We look forward to investing in the digital economy of India and meeting our customers’ needs throughout the region in collaboration with Adani,” said Brouckman. The joint venture will leverage Adani’s expertise in full-stack energy management, renewable power and real estate development, access to undersea cable landing stations, and its experience in building and managing large infrastructure projects throughout India. Expressing views, Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, appreciated PM’s Digital India vision and stated how it helped the entire Indian population come online and create exponential growth in data consumption. She said, “India currently has one of world’s largest data subscriber population and to address the need for a reliable infrastructure to support cloud, content, network, IoT, 5G, AI and enterprise requirements, data centres are a fundamental infrastructure need.” With EdgeConneX’s domain expertise and cutting-edge technology in the data centre business, Adani Enterprises created this joint venture — AdaniConneX JV — that will build a network of hyper-scale data centres in India, starting with Chennai, Navi Mumbai, Noida, Vizag and Hyderabad markets.
