Sridhar Pinnapureddy has been expanding CtrlS Datacenters' AI-ready digital infrastructure in India. 

Over the past year, he has led the development of nearly 1.2 GW of AI-ready data centre capacity, enabling hyperscalers, enterprises, and government organisations to deploy large-scale AI workloads securely within India. His focus on energy-efficient engineering has helped CtrlS achieve industry-leading power efficiency while advancing sustainable infrastructure through innovations in cooling technologies and green data centre design.

Beyond infrastructure, Pinnapureddy has worked closely with policymakers, industry leaders, and government agencies to position AI infrastructure as a strategic driver of economic growth, manufacturing, and employment. He has also supported AI awareness and skilling initiatives in rural India, reinforcing the importance of building talent alongside digital infrastructure.

Pinnapureddy believes India's AI transformation extends far beyond advances in AI models and hinges its ability to build sovereign, sustainable, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure that attracts global AI investments.
