Vertical Data Opens New Delhi AI Office

Vertical Data said April 27 that it has opened an office in New Delhi to anchor its India push in artificial intelligence infrastructure, GPU financing and data-center development. (verticaldata.io) The company said the office will serve as its regional base as it chases four lines of business in India: sovereign AI infrastructure programs, enterprise graphics-processing-unit deployments, data-center development and work with Indian neocloud operators. (verticaldata.io) Vertical Data named Ratan Kapoor and Dhanraj Misra as the initial two-person local team leading the expansion, and said it plans to add more staff. (accessnewswire.com) The pitch is straightforward: companies and governments that want to run AI need large clusters of specialized chips, power, cooling, financing and buildings to house them. Vertical Data says it sells that stack through its VerticalData.io and GPUfinancing.com businesses. (verticaldata.io) (accessnewswire.com) India gives that sales pitch a large target market. Astute Analytica says the country’s data-center market was worth $8.94 billion in 2025 and could reach $31.36 billion by 2035. (astuteanalytica.com) Nomura has projected India’s installed data-center capacity could climb to 9.2 gigawatts by 2030 in an optimistic case, up from about 960 megawatts, according to the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. (ieefa.org) Vertical Data Chief Executive Deven Soni said sovereign programs, large enterprises and neocloud operators in India need “capital-efficient” ways to deploy GPU infrastructure. The company’s release did not disclose the office’s cost, expected revenue or any signed India contracts.
