Indian data center operator Sify Infinit Spaces bets on AI boom but wary of bubble

BENGALURU: Sify Infinit Spaces, set to become India’s first listed data center operator, sees AI driving demand for computing power but is tempering future investments to avoid over-exposure to a potential bubble, its chief executive said.

The surge in artificial intelligence technologies, which require massive computing power, has spurred unprecedented growth in data centers worldwide, including India. But Sify Infinit will keep expansion “responsible and calculated” to ensure it matches sustainable demand, CEO Sharad Agarwal told Reuters in an interview late November.
