Utho Cloud, India’s sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure platform, has announced a landmark commitment to deploy 10,000 GPUs over the next 7–8 quarters. The investment is part of a long-term vision to build India’s sovereign AI compute backbone, enabling businesses, startups, researchers, and public sector organizations to access high-performance AI infrastructure hosted entirely within the country.
The GPU portfolio will span NVIDIA’s enterprise-grade offerings, including the H200, H100, A100, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, and L4 models. This expansion guarantees GPU availability without long waitlists or auction-based pricing, a significant advantage in a market often plagued by shortages and unpredictable costs.
Key features of the infrastructure include:
- Sovereign AI compute: Customer data and model training remain within their chosen jurisdiction, with full ownership of intellectual property.
- Transparent and predictable pricing: Up to 60% lower than traditional hyperscaler GPU rates, with billing in Indian Rupees.
- Flexibility: Supports workloads from single-model inference to large-scale distributed AI training.
- 24/7 human support: Dedicated assistance for mission-critical production AI workloads.
With over 51,000 users, Utho Cloud already offers cloud infrastructure with data residency in India and compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act.
“We have spent years building a cloud platform designed around India’s data sovereignty and regulatory requirements. With this expansion, we will offer guaranteed GPU availability without extended wait times, sovereign AI compute with data and model training hosted within customer jurisdictions, transparent and predictable pricing, and the flexibility to support workloads ranging from AI inference to large-scale model training. By combining 100% data residency, compliance with the DPDP Act, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure, we aim to remove the barriers that have long limited access to high-performance AI computing and accelerate India’s journey towards becoming a global AI powerhouse.”
— Manoj Dhanda, Founder and CEO of Utho Cloud
The announcement comes amid growing concerns over AI compute availability, with GPU shortages, rising costs, and extended procurement timelines emerging as key challenges for enterprises worldwide. Unlike conventional cloud models that often expose businesses to foreign currency billing, unpredictable GPU costs, and infrastructure dependencies outside India, Utho’s sovereign AI platform is designed to provide organizations with predictable pricing in Indian Rupees, complete data residency, and enterprise-grade AI infrastructure deployed within Indian jurisdiction.
Utho Cloud positions itself as “Bharat ka Cloud” — proudly Indian and sharply attuned to the needs of domestic enterprises. Today, 70% of India’s cloud telephony runs on Utho. Enterprises like FIITJEE, Jindal Steel & Power, and APL Apollo trust the platform, and over 51,000 businesses — from solo developers to unicorn startups — deploy production workloads on infrastructure that Utho owns, operates, and supports 24/7.
