BharathCloud, a homegrown AI-ready cloud services provider, has launched its maiden Cloud centre at CtrlS Datacenters’ Hyderabad DC1 facility, marking an important step in the country’s efforts to build a sovereign and AI-ready digital infrastructure ecosystem.

The initiative is part of BharathCloud’s $100 million (approximately ₹950 crore) investment plan over the next five years to build AI-ready sovereign cloud infrastructure in the country.

The growth plan includes expansion into cities such as Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, and Pune, as well as into tier-II and tier-III cities.

“The launch reflects the growing need for secure, scalable, and sovereign digital infrastructure as AI workloads, data localisation, and digital transformation continue to accelerate across industries,” a statement said here on Friday.
