Tech giant Google has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with real estate developer Anant Raj to offer cloud computing services and data centre infrastructure to enterprises.
As part of the agreement, the cloud computing arm of the developer will collaborate with Google to help clients develop “purpose-built Al-infused solutions for data infrastructure, productivity, and security”.
In a filing with the BSE, Anant Raj also said that the two parties will work together to develop innovative technological solutions for potential customers.
“We are pleased to announce that Anant Raj Cloud Pvt. Ltd… has entered into an MoU with Google LLC… to collaborate for providing data centre infrastructure, DC managed services and
cloud platform to various public and private enterprises, to develop innovative technological solutions for potential customers…,” read the filing.
The real estate company is currently developing 300 MW (IT load) data centres across three locations in Haryana – Manesar, Rai and Panchkula. The initial phase of the project at Manesar is said to be ready.
As per its website, the company holds 18 Lakh sq ft in Manesar on a 10-acre site, while it has another 6 Lakh sq ft of space at its under-construction 10-acre plot in Panchkula.
The development comes three months after reports said that Google was in advanced talks to buy a 22.5-acre land parcel in Navi Mumbai’s Juinagar to build the tech giant’s first-ever captive data centre in India for INR 850 Cr.
Apart from this, the tech major has also reportedly inked multiple deals to lease space at colocation data centres in Navi Mumbai and Noida.
This comes at a time when more and more big tech companies are looking to set up data centres in India to cater to the growing demand for cloud services in India and a post-pandemic surge in digitalisation.
On top of that, the demand has also been led by more and more businesses moving online, growing data usage, the onset of 5G and data localisation mandates.
