InterGlobix Magazine Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Jasmine Bedi, sat down in conversation with Ankit Saraiya to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI), power constraints, and sustainability are shaping the evolution of infrastructure. In this conversation, Ankit shares why India represents a structurally different opportunity for AI infrastructure and how Techno Digital is building for that shift.
AI is driving unprecedented infrastructure demand globally. What fundamental shifts do you see in how digital infrastructure needs to be designed to support workloads at scale?
Traditional infrastructure models—especially in the West—have been built around proximity to consumption points, availability zones, and if you’re part of a community of data centers in a particular area. However, they’re not the only factors driving this sector of digital infrastructure.
With AI workloads scaling rapidly, data center sizes are growing, too, and they’re moving beyond city centers and core regions. Facilities are moving beyond dense urban clusters toward locations where power can be secured at scale closer to transmission networks and generation sources. The key question today is not just where you can deploy compute but where you can reliably source power, and in what quantity.
Yes, chips will fundamentally dictate supply chain, but where can you get the power to make it all come together? You can procure GPUs, you can raise capital, but you cannot quickly create grid capacity. That takes years.
