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 as part of its long-term vision to build India's sovereign AI compute backbone. The investment will include NVIDIA's enterprise-grade GPU portfolio, including the H200, H100, A100, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and L4, enabling businesses, startups, researchers and public sector organisations to access high-performance AI infrastructure hosted entirely within India.
Utho's investment in its GPU portfolio will ensure guaranteed GPU availability without long waitlists or auction-based pricing. The infrastructure is designed to deliver sovereign AI compute, ensuring customer data and AI model training remain within their chosen jurisdiction while allowing full ownership of intellectual property.
Affordable AI Infrastructure with Data Sovereignty
The platform will also offer transparent and predictable pricing up to 60% lower than traditional hyperscaler GPU rates along with the flexibility to support workloads ranging from single-model AI inference to large-scale distributed AI training. In addition, customers will receive 24×7 human support for mission-critical AI production workloads.
With more than 51,000 users, Utho Cloud currently provides cloud infrastructure with complete data residency in India while complying with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act.
Commenting on the investment, Manoj Dhanda, Founder and CEO of Utho Cloud, said, "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."
Addressing India's Growing AI Compute Demand
The announcement comes at a time when AI infrastructure demand is rising globally, with GPU shortages, increasing costs and long procurement timelines becoming major challenges for enterprises. Unlike conventional cloud providers that often involve foreign currency billing, unpredictable GPU pricing and overseas infrastructure, Utho's sovereign AI platform offers organisations predictable pricing in Indian Rupees, complete data residency and enterprise-grade AI infrastructure hosted entirely within India.
Supporting Developers, Enterprises and India's AI Ecosystem
Utho Cloud is India's sovereign cloud platform designed for developers, startups and enterprises seeking a high-performance and cost-effective alternative to traditional hyperscale cloud providers. The company operates across B2B, B2E and B2G business models, offering flexible monthly, quarterly and annual subscription plans. Positioning itself as "Bharat ka Cloud," Utho focuses on meeting the specific needs of Indian businesses.
Today, 70% of India's cloud telephony runs on Utho Cloud. Leading organisations such as FIITJEE, Jindal Steel & Power and APL Apollo rely on its platform, while more than 51,000 businesses ranging from individual developers to unicorn startups deploy production workloads on Utho's infrastructure, which the company owns, operates and supports round the clock.
