In a landmark moment for India’s artificial intelligence ambitions, Yotta Data Services today announced the arrival of over 4,000 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs at its NM1 data centre. The state-of-the-art chips, billed as the world’s fastest AI accelerators, will power Yotta’s upcoming Shakti Cloud platform – set to be the 10th quickest supercomputer globally.

The H100 delivery marks a major milestone in Yotta’s partnership with NVIDIA, establishing it as the company’s first Network Cloud Partner in India and an Elite Partner worldwide. Yotta aims to scale its GPU infrastructure to a staggering 32,768 units by 2025.

“We at Yotta are proud to be at the heart of the AI revolution in India,” said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, MD & CEO of Yotta Data Services. “With access to the world’s most powerful hardware right here on Indian soil, Yotta will help Indian businesses, governments, startups, and researchers accelerate innovation.”

Democratising AI Access

Beyond raw compute power, Shakti Cloud will offer foundational AI models and applications to help enterprises rapidly develop and deploy their own AI solutions. This full-stack approach aims to democratise access to advanced AI capabilities.

“The delivery of the NVIDIA H100 marks the beginning of a new chapter, not just for Yotta, but for a truly AI-powered digital Bharat,” Gupta added. “Yotta will help achieve excellence as we scale greater heights in the AI revolution.”

Hopper Architecture Leap

Based on NVIDIA’s Hopper architecture, the H100 GPU packs 80 billion transistors – a 6x increase over its A100 predecessor. This quantum leap in performance is ideal for training LLMs powering applications like instant content creation, translation, and medical diagnosis.

Yotta’s Shakti Cloud is poised to be India’s largest and fastest AI-focused supercomputer, offering not just bare-metal GPU infrastructure, but also end-to-end platform and software services. This comprehensive approach aims to empower entrepreneurs to build AI products with unprecedented efficiency.

As the first 4,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs come online at Yotta’s Navi Mumbai data centre, India’s AI ecosystem looks set for a major boost. And with tens of thousands more chips on the horizon, Yotta is staking its claim as a key enabler of the country’s AI-driven future.
