In a landmark gathering that underscores India’s rapid digital transformation, Team Marksmen’s Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure Conclave and Awards 2025 has emerged as a crucial platform for industry leaders to chart the future of IT infrastructure. The event comes at a pivotal moment, with India’s data center capacity set to more than double to 2-2.3 GW by 2026-27, marking a new chapter in the nation’s technological evolution.
“The exponential growth we’re witnessing in India’s data center landscape isn’t just about meeting current demands – it’s about building the foundation for India’s digital leadership on the global stage,” says Rishi Kapoor, CEO & Director of Team Marksmen Network. “This platform arrives at a crucial juncture when the confluence of Digital India initiatives, emerging technologies like GenAI, and massive digital adoption is creating unprecedented opportunities. The Team Marksmen’s Data Center and Cloud Innovation Conclave & Awards serves as a vital forum for industry leaders to collaborate, innovate, and shape the future of digital infrastructure in India.”
The conclave addresses critical aspects of India’s digital infrastructure growth, including the projected investment of ₹55,000-65,000 crore over the next three fiscal years in data center development. This substantial investment encompasses land acquisition, building infrastructure, power equipment, and cooling solutions – essential components for creating world-class data center facilities.
A key focus of the event is the remarkable transformation in India’s digital consumption patterns. With mobile data traffic demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% over the last five fiscal years and reaching 24 GB per month by the end of fiscal 2024, the trajectory points to an expected surge to 33-35 GB by FY26. This exponential growth in data consumption underscores the critical need for robust data center infrastructure.
The rise of Generative AI has emerged as a significant driver of data center demand, requiring enhanced computational power and lower latency compared to traditional cloud computing functions. This technological advancement, combined with increasing digitalization across organizations, is catalyzing investments in cloud storage and data center capabilities.
The conclave also highlights the industry’s focus on sustainable growth and operational excellence. With data centers benefiting from predictable cash flows backed by a stable client base, the sector presents attractive opportunities for both existing players and new entrants. The industry’s expansion plans are particularly noteworthy, with projections indicating an addition of 791 MW capacity by 2026, driving demand for 10 million sq. ft. of real estate space and attracting investments worth USD 5.7 billion.
The conclave also recognizes pioneering achievements in various categories in a gala awards ceremony, including co-location excellence, cloud security, sustainable infrastructure, risk management, an innovation in data center cooling and power efficiency. These awards celebrate the contributions of end-users, data center operators, cloud service providers, and technology innovators who are driving India’s digital transformation forward.
This unique industry platform was brought to life thanks to the presence of key partners, namely:
Renewable Energy Solutions Partner: InSolare Energy Ltd
Associate Partner: Micron Technologies
Supporting Partners: Digital Connexion and Verge Cloud
As India continues its journey toward becoming a global digital powerhouse, events like the Team Marksmen’s Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure Conclave & Awards play a crucial role in fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and recognizing excellence in the industry. The platform serves as a testament to India’s commitment to building a robust digital infrastructure that will support the nation’s technological ambitions and economic growth in the years to come.
