Google has officially broken ground on its largest digital infrastructure project in India — a gigawatt-scale AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Built in partnership with AdaniConneX and Nxtra by Airtel, this is just the beginning of a $15 billion investment planned between 2026 and 2030.

What's being built:

  • Three data center campuses — India's first gigawatt-scale AI hub
  • America-India Connect fiber-optic network for better global digital connectivity
  • Clean energy integration supporting India's 500 GW non-fossil fuel goal by 2030

Beyond infrastructure — real community impact:

  • 💧 Watershed management + Water ATMs for local communities
  • 🎣 GPS and weather tools for 1,000+ fishermen
  • 👩‍💼 NARI Shakti program supporting 10,000+ women-led enterprises
  • 🎓 Cloud and AI training for 1,200+ students and educators
  • 👷 STAR program training 1,000 local workers in construction and facility operations

The Bharat AI Shakti Conclave held alongside puts local SMEs at the center of this corridor — not just big corporates.

India isn't just consuming AI anymore. We're building the infrastructure that will power it for the world. Vizag is about to become one of the most important tech cities in Asia. Proud moment for India! 💪
