Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi on Wednesday announced a partnership with the Adani Group to set up its first data center in India.
Sharing glimpses of his meeting with Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, Khosrowshahi said, "As India fast emerges as a leading innovation hub for Uber, we are setting up our first data center in the country with the Adani Group to test and deploy our tech," he said in a post on X.
He further stated that the data centre project would be ready later this year and would help Uber build at scale, "from India, for the world."
The Uber CEO is on a five-day visit to India and is set to meet several Union and state ministers. Earlier on Tuesday, Khosrowshahi met Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, wherein he had a "rich conversation about Uber’s strategic investment roadmap for India" and how platforms like Uber can be partners in the journey toward the country's ambition of Viksit Bharat 2047.
He also met Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu and had a forward-looking discussion focused on enhancing the air travel experience through better and more convenient last-mile connectivity for passengers.
"Alongside improving passenger convenience, I also encouraged the delegation to further strengthen sustainable mobility initiatives in line with our broader vision of making urban transit cleaner and efficient," Naidu said in a post on X.
Google's proposed AI hub in Visakhapatnam is said to involve an estimated investment of around $15 billion over five years (2026-2030), including gigawatt-scale data centre operations backed by subsea cable connectivity and clean energy infrastructure to support advanced AI workloads in India.
The project is being developed in collaboration with ecosystem partners, which include AdaniConneX and Airtel.
