A 100% subsidiary of the Hiranandani Group, Yotta will offer hyper-density, hyper-scalable data centre and co-location solutions to enterprises along with a whole array of supporting managed IT, hybrid multi-cloud and security services, a release said. The data centre parks will be spread over 50 acres near major international fibre landing stations, with server hall capacity of over 60,000 racks and 500 MW power. The first data centre park is scheduled to go live by December 2019 at Hiranandani Fortune City township in Panvel, followed by Chennai and Mumbai.

Speaking about the new venture, Niranjan Hiranandani, founder and managing director of the Hiranandani Group, said: “The Digital India program is one of the key pillars of the prime minister’s vision of India becoming a USD 5-trillion economy by 2025. We envision a huge opportunity with the data localisation and protection act to be announced soon by the government of India, in order to regulate the data management business. This will give a big impetus to the data storage business to grow domestically at an exponential pace, bringing a paradigm shift to the Indian economy.”
