Shyam Nandan Upadhyay — CEO

I work at the intersection of data centres and AI compute demand, focusing on colocation economics, power density, and cooling maturity. My work revolves around helping companies plan AI-ready capacity and make informed infrastructure decisions across India and APAC. At JLL, I analyse how shifts such as rising rack densities, GPU-driven power envelopes, and advanced cooling architectures are reshaping the market. I translate these changes into clear, practical insights for teams evaluating colocation options and designing for AI workloads Before advisory, I worked as a technology journalist at Analytics India Magazine and ThePrint, covering AI, data centres, semiconductors, and deep-tech policy. That experience taught me to analyse complex systems and communicate them with clarity, a skill I now apply directly in digital infrastructure advisory. Focus areas: • AI-grade colocation strategy (density readiness, power allocation, deployment timelines) • Cooling evolution (DTC, immersion, rear-door, hybrid) • GPU-driven infra demand • Market intelligence across India/APAC • Policy and regulatory trends My goal: Help companies navigate the world’s most complex infrastructure buildout with confidence. I write frequently about AI infrastructure, cooling, outages, and data centre market behaviour, translating emerging developments into clear insights for operators and decision-makers.
