Sunil Gupta — CEO
I am a technocrat, entrepreneur, and visionary leader with 30+ years of experience across global IT services, cloud, and data center infrastructure. As Co-founder, MD & CEO of Yotta Data Services, I am driving India's ambition to become a global AI and digital powerhouse. At the forefront of India's AI infrastructure revolution, I lead Yotta Shakti Cloud—India’s largest and most advanced AI+HPC cloud platform built in partnership with Nvidia, powered by 8,000+ Nvidia H100 GPUs and state-of-the-art Infiniband architecture. With many thousands more GPUs including the latest generation Blackwell GPUs being shortly added, Shakti Cloud is the backbone of India’s AI compute, contributing nearly 65% of the total GPU compute capacity to the India AI Mission. From foundational LLMs to Indic language models and vertical AI stacks, almost all grounds-up AI models being built in India today are trained or inferred on Shakti Cloud—by startups, enterprises, and research labs alike. This platform is democratizing AI access, enabling India to build and host globally competitive, indigenous AI capabilities. In parallel, we’ve launched Yntraa Cloud—India’s own sovereign, hyperscale public cloud platform—fully homegrown, open source, and engineered to serve mission-critical workloads across government, PSU, defence, and regulated sectors. Yntraa Cloud is a cornerstone of India’s sovereign digital future. Yotta’s hyperscale data center campuses in Navi Mumbai (home to the world’s 2nd largest Uptime Tier IV certified data center) and Greater Noida power this vision—backed by deep investments in cybersecurity, managed IT, edge infrastructure, and connectivity. Recognized globally, I’ve been featured on the cover pages of Forbes India and Outlook Business, and named among Data Economy’s APAC 50 and Global 100 Leaders in Data Centres & Cloud. I actively participate in India-US strategic dialogues, thought leadership panels at GITEX, Nvidia AI Summit, Global Technology Summit, and forums shaping India’s AI and cloud strategy. I also serve as Chairman, ASSOCHAM National Data Centre Council, and work closely with NASSCOM, IMA CEO Forum, and ET India Leadership Council to align policy, innovation, and infrastructure for India’s digital and AI leadership. Let’s connect if you’re building or enabling the AI and digital future of India and the world.
