Google is set to make a transformative investment in India, focusing on enhancing digital infrastructure and accelerating AI-driven innovation. The tech giant’s multifaceted plan includes the development of gigawatt-scale data centers and the establishment of a new international subsea gateway in Visakhapatnam. These initiatives, supported by advanced energy infrastructure, aim to bring cutting-edge technology to enterprises, fostering AI innovation and digital growth across the country. The project is a collaboration with the Adani Group and will feature Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), significantly boosting compute capacity for deep learning, neural network training, and large-scale AI model inference. This investment is expected to create an ecosystem that accelerates AI solutions in healthcare, logistics, finance, and agriculture, among other sectors. Upon completion, the new data center campus will join Google’s global network of AI data centers spanning 12 countries. The Visakhapatnam subsea gateway will connect to Google’s extensive terrestrial and subsea cable network, positioning the city as a global AI hub. Analysts predict this initiative will generate substantial economic and societal opportunities for both India and the United States, marking a generational leap in AI capabilities. Additionally, the hub will deliver high-performance, low-latency services, enabling organizations to scale their AI-powered solutions and accelerate research and development. In parallel, India is addressing the rise in cybercrime and bank frauds through initiatives like the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre and the use of MuleHunter.AI to detect and monitor mule accounts. The Reserve Bank of India is also developing a digital payments intelligence platform to strengthen risk management in the banking system.
