Burkhan World Investment Group, based in Miami, USA, will invest Rs 1,500 crore in Karnataka to manufacture advanced AI-powered servers, announced State Minister for Large and Medium Industries MB Patil on November 6.
“The company has sought 10 to 15 acres of land near Devanahalli, which will be provided. This investment is expected to generate significant employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector,” said the minister after discussions with Shafi Khan, CEO of TGG (The Ghazi Group, a subsidiary of Burkhan World), and his team at Vidhana Soudha.
Minister Patil stated that the servers to be produced by Burkhan are in high global demand, especially for data centres, and will be exported to several countries. He assured the government’s full cooperation for the project and directed the Principal Secretary of Industries to hold a meeting of officials to discuss subsidies and incentives for the company.
Burkhan Group also plans to establish facilities for manufacturing advanced CPUs, GPUs, and AI-ready network switches in Karnataka. For this, the company will collaborate with its international technology partners Gigabyte and Cera Network. The minister confirmed that the state government will extend full support to this initiative.
According to Patil, Burkhan’s investment will enhance Karnataka’s semiconductor, AI hardware, and advanced electronics ecosystem. The company will also partner with Resolute Group and Quad-Gen in its manufacturing process. This initiative, he added, will promote local research and development, technology transfer, and collaboration with educational institutions and industries across the state.
The minister said the company will set up Bengaluru as its Centre of Excellence for operations, serving India and the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region. Additionally, Burkhan World plans to introduce special skill development programmes across Karnataka. The company is also exploring partnerships with the state government in large industries, IT-BT, and the ESDM (Electronics System Design and Manufacturing) sectors.
