Visualizing the massive difference in computational requirements across AI model generations
Each square represents equal computational power
The intelligence explosion is compute-bound. GPUs are the bottleneck between current AI and AGI. Owning 500MW of sovereign compute infrastructure positions us at the epicenter of the $10 trillion value creation event coming in the next 5 years.
Global leaders are planning $100B+ clusters, heading toward $1T by 2030. Microsoft, Google, and Meta are each building 5GW+ facilities. Demand vastly outstrips supply. Early movers capture 50-100x returns.
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling + Uttarakhand hydropower + campus PUE < 1.1 delivers 40-50% lower TCO than US/EU. Our $0.08/kWh renewable power and 67% lower labor costs create an unbeatable economic moat.
India cannot depend on foreign clouds for defense AI, government services, or critical research. Antriksh provides the trusted, sovereign infrastructure that keeps Indian data and AI capabilities under Indian control.
Compute leases + enterprise contracts + equity-for-compute ventures create compounding returns. As AI capabilities explode, our infrastructure becomes exponentially more valuable. Think AWS in 2010, but for the AGI era.
The nation that controls AI infrastructure controls the future. India has 24 months to secure its position or face permanent technological colonization.
💡 Key Insight: India has 2.2x higher AI adoption than the USA but 51x less infrastructure. With 1.4 billion people embracing AI, this gap represents the world's largest untapped AI market.
India's 48% AI adoption rate (world's highest) combined with just 1MW/million users infrastructure (world's lowest among major economies) creates an unprecedented $41.7B market opportunity. Antriksh's 500MW facility will provide 40% of India's total AI compute capacity, capturing this massive gap.
While others debate, we execute. Here's what we've already achieved:
The race to AGI infrastructure is happening NOW. Every month of delay is a permanent setback.
Global powers are committing $1T+ to AI infrastructure. Saudi Arabia allocates $600B. UAE targets 500,000 GPUs. China builds despite sanctions. India must act NOW.
Nations with infrastructure train sovereign AGI models. Those without become permanent consumers. The technological hierarchy gets locked in forever.
AGI transforms into ASI. Economic and military supremacy flows to AI-sovereign nations. The infrastructure built today determines prosperity for centuries.
This isn't incremental progress. It's a quantum leap that positions India among the global AI superpowers overnight.
500MW represents a 40% increase in India's total data center capacity, specifically dedicated to AI. This single facility will provide more AI compute than all existing Indian data centers combined, finally matching India's 48% AI adoption rate with world-class infrastructure.
Antriksh stands at the convergence of government momentum, technical readiness,
ecosystem support, and perfect market timing. The AGI race has begun.
Join us in building India's sovereign AI infrastructure.

A comprehensive view of how infrastructure providers and VCs are reshaping startup financing through compute
The tight collaboration between infrastructure providers, VCs, and AI giants represents a fundamental shift in how startups are funded and scaled. Unlike past software startups that needed only laptops, today's AI ventures require supercomputing-class hardware from day one. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for infrastructure providers who can also participate in equity upside.
We're not just another infrastructure provider. Antriksh Cloud combines world-class GPU infrastructure with direct equity investment in AI startups, creating a powerful flywheel effect that accelerates both our returns and our portfolio companies' growth.
Infrastructure attracts startups → Equity investments create alignment → Portfolio success drives platform growth → Increased scale improves economics → Better terms attract more startups
This virtuous cycle positions Antriksh Cloud to capture value at every stage of the AI revolution
Antriksh Cloud's Unique Approach: Unlike pure infrastructure plays, we combine GPU infrastructure with direct equity investments in AI startups. This dual-engine model creates multiple paths to returns: predictable infrastructure revenues PLUS venture-scale equity upside from our portfolio companies. Most importantly, we bridge the "compute validation gap"—95% of theoretical AI breakthroughs never reach market simply because researchers lack $5-10K in compute to validate their ideas.

Every identified risk has clear mitigation strategies backed by India's sovereign infrastructure needs. Government support, strategic location advantages, and phased deployment create multiple layers of protection for investor capital while maintaining aggressive growth potential.
Why This Matters: India cannot depend on foreign hyperscalers for critical AI workloads in defense, government services, financial systems, and strategic research. Antriksh Cloud provides the sovereign infrastructure that ensures India's AI capabilities remain under Indian control - a national imperative that creates an extraordinary investment opportunity with government-backed demand and premium valuations.
Get answers to common questions about Antriksh Cloud's AI infrastructure services
Laser-focused on AI workloads only. We are not a general-purpose cloud; every rupee, rack, and process is optimised for modern AI training and inference in India.
Others … | Antriksh Cloud |
---|---|
Blend AI with web-hosting & generic VMs | 500 MW campus reserved 100 % for Agentic AI and AI compute—no other workloads |
Air-cooled racks that throttle under sustained load | Liquid direct-to-chip cooling → PUE < 1.2 and up to 15 % more usable FLOPs |
Regions outside India (latency > 80 ms) or exposed to US CLOUD Act | Strategic site → 5–30 ms nationwide, full data-sovereignty, state green-power subsidies |
One-price-fits-all, USD billing, hidden egress fees | INR billing, 30–40 % cheaper ₹/GPU-hour, zero egress; tiers tuned to Indian AI-startup budgets |
Bottom line: If your workload isn’t AI, we’re not your cloud. If it is - nobody in India can match our cost, latency, sustainability, or sovereignty guarantees at this scale.
GPU portfolio (launch sequence)
Evolving rack densities – pods start at 150 kW and are engineered to scale to 300 kW and 600 kW per rack as chip TDPs climb.
Pricing models
Security and sovereignty are built in from day one:
Result: Whether you are a start-up, a listed enterprise, or a defence agency, your workloads stay isolated, encrypted, and fully compliant—today and as regulations evolve.
Minutes for experiments, hours for production.
Result: you can move from “idea” to “training run” the same day—no GPU waitlists, no long procurement cycles.
Yes—Antriksh Cloud plugs into any cloud or on-prem stack.

)
print("Job ID:", job.id)
Bring data from anywhere, burst massive AI jobs to our GPU fabric, and return results—without lock-in.
We combine predictive software and modular hardware to keep queue wait-times under five minutes—even on launch-day spikes.
Sub-50 ms latency nationwide, backed by multi-terabit dark fibre.
Result: AI workloads reach users and other clouds in milliseconds, with no single carrier dependency and ample future bandwidth.
Five complementary revenue streams power our business:
These streams blend usage-based revenue with sticky subscriptions, turning idle capacity into equity upside while keeping cash flow predictable.
Seed-Infra round: US $66 million
This capital turns the PoC live and revenue-generating—creating an optional early exit for investors—yet our plan is to scale the campus ourselves.
Next phase of capital: scale from 3 MW to the first 100 MW GPU cluster once PoC revenues and metrics are proven.
