Zoho’s Sridhar Vembu launches Nathu La – First indigenous-designed AI server

After staying in the headlines for Arattai last year, Zoho is back at the forefront, and this time, there’s AI-grade hardware involved. The company has unveiled Nathu La as its first indigenously designed-in-house server platform.

Nathu La is essentially an enterprise-grade data server that’s designed to run modern-generation Large Language Models (LLMs). Development started five years ago and was done by Zoho’s team based in Nagpur. Nathu La, however, won’t add to Zoho’s commercial ambitions, since it wants to fully own its technology stack, i.e., from the physical hardware layer to data centres, operating systems, and consumer-facing apps.
