Yotta Data Services Private Limited is making a major push for India’s artificial intelligence ecosystem with a $1.5 billion order of 8,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs. The new units are expected to go live between December and January, supporting everything from startups to IITs and research institutions developing advanced large language models.
“Our commitment to IndiaAI is that by December and by January, these 8,190 Blackwells will be up and live, because IndiaAI is flush with demand for making more LLMs,” said Sunil Gupta, CEO of Yotta Data Services, in a recent interview.
The announcement comes as an expansion of Yotta’s current infrastructure, which already includes 8,000 H100 GPUs and 1,000 L-40s. These systems are powering several of India’s biggest AI projects. Gupta revealed that Sarvam AI alone was allocated 4,096 GPUs, supported by petabytes of high-speed storage and NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton software. “Initially, we provided about 1,600, and as more GPUs came online, we delivered the balance. They are now using all 4,096 GPUs,” he added.
Another Indian startup, Soket AI Labs, has recently secured 1,536 GPUs from Yotta to accelerate its model training and dataset building. “They have been allocated 1,536 GPUs…we have kept these GPUs reserved for them,” Gupta said, noting that demand from startups is rising quickly as they move from development to large-scale inferencing on Yotta’s systems.
To simplify access, Yotta has also launched a platform-as-a-service layer via API, removing the need for enterprises and startups to manage hardware directly. Gupta further confirmed, “Once we get the new Blackwell GPUs approved for India, they will be deployed for these critical LLM projects.”
With this investment, Yotta is strengthening its position as a backbone of India’s AI revolution and reinforcing the nation’s ability to compete globally in artificial intelligence innovation.
