Yotta Orders 8,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs to Support IndiaAI Mission
Yotta Data Services has ordered 8,000 NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPUs, with the systems expected to be operational by December to January, CEO Sunil Gupta said in an exclusive interview with AIM.
The deployment will meet growing demand from India’s AI ecosystem, including startups, IITs and research institutions building large language models (LLMs). The company is going to invest $1.5 billion for this purpose.
The new GPU expansion is part of Yotta’s continued commitment to IndiaAI. “We ordered them about two months back, and our commitment to IndiaAI is that by December and by January, these 8,190 Blackwells will be up and live, because IndiaAI is flush with demand for making more LLMs,” Gupta said.
“Majority of the large-scale AI model development in India has happened on our GPUs…and now obviously they’re (startups) putting the model for inferencing on our GPUs,” he added.
Currently, Yotta operates 8,000 H100 GPUs, and hundreds of them are live with clients, along with 1,000 L-40s. These GPUs are being used for major Indian AI models such as Sarvam and Socket, as well as by some global clients.
Gupta said that Sarvam AI was allocated 4,096 GPUs. “Initially, we provided about 1,600, and as more GPUs came online, we delivered the balance. They are now using all 4,096 GPUs, along with petabytes of high-speed parallel file storage and object storage, supported by a full NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton software layer we set up for them,” he said.
On Soket AI, Gupta said the allocation happened just a few days ago. “They have been allocated 1,536 GPUs. Right now, it’s mostly for initial planning and dataset building, but in the coming days, they will start using them actively. We have kept these GPUs reserved for them.”
To simplify access for enterprises and startups that may not want to manage hardware directly, Yotta has created a platform-as-a-service layer on API.
He added that Yotta’s remaining GPU capacity is being used by other commercial customers, both domestic and international. Looking ahead, Gupta said, “Once we get the new Blackwell GPUs approved for India, they will be deployed for these critical LLM projects.”

Google has introduced Google AI Plus, a new subscription plan aimed at making its AI tools more affordable and accessible, with Indonesia becoming the first country in the world to get access.
The AI Plus plan offers a mix of productivity and creativity tools, including access to Gemini 2.5 Pro, the company’s most advanced model, as well as NotebookLM features for faster insights and document summaries. The package is priced at Rp 75,000 per month (~₹400), with a limited-time 50% discount for the first six months for new subscribers.
This comes shortly after OpenAI launched a ChatGPT Go subscription for Indian users at ₹399 per month, aiming to make the chatbot affordable to the masses.
Google said AI Plus is designed to help a wide range of users, from students tackling research projects to professionals managing their daily tasks. The plan integrates Gemini directly into Google’s apps such as Gmail, Docs, and Sheets, enabling faster drafting, analysis and project organisation.
On the creative side, AI Plus includes access to Google’s Veo 3 Fast video generation model, along with tools like Whisk and Flow for image and AI filmmaking. Subscribers also receive 200 GB of cloud storage, which can be shared with up to five family members.
“This new plan opens up more access to powerful AI tools to level up your productivity and creativity—all at an accessible price. And we are especially excited to share that Indonesia is the first country in the world to get access to this new plan,” the company said in the announcement post.
The launch underscores Google’s focus on Southeast Asia as a key market for AI adoption. By rolling out AI Plus in Indonesia first, the company is positioning the country as a testbed for expanding its AI-powered subscription services globally.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) partnered with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) to accelerate innovation and industrialisation of physical AI solutions.
Physical AI is focused on bringing together robotics, artificial intelligence and intelligent systems to help machines perceive, interpret and interact with the physical world, thereby advancing digital transformation and modernisation of industrial processes.
TCS and CEA’s leading French research institute for intelligent digital systems will drive the design, development and deployment of cutting-edge physical AI-powered systems for real-world applications.
By combining CEA’s deep expertise in digital transformation and scientific research with TCS’ domain knowledge and global scale, the partnership will deliver scalable AI-driven solutions tailored to industrial use cases, from manufacturing and logistics to automation, ultimately transforming efficiency and resilience across sectors.
Alexandre Bounouh, director of CEA-List, said, “This partnership will enable us to connect cutting-edge research with the concrete needs of businesses and to jointly invent the intelligent systems of tomorrow.”
“By transforming collaboration between humans and machines, AI solutions applied to physical systems will optimise the production chain, thereby contributing to one of our core missions: boosting the resilience and competitiveness of French and European businesses,” he said.
Together, TCS and CEA intend to offer organisations concrete solutions based on physical AI, proofs of concept, as well as training and technological support programs.
Some of the key areas of collaboration include versatile robots, advanced human-robot collaboration and socially assistive robots.
The partnership also relies on the unique expertise and leading-edge research of CEA in the convergence between physical AI and humans, TCS said.
Rammohan Gourneni, managing director of TCS in France, said, “Physical AI is a key technology for the future of industry, as it combines the power of AI with the intelligence of physical systems. This partnership marks an important step in supporting our clients in their industrial transformation.”
TCS said that the partnership leverages the TCS Pace Port Paris research and innovation centre at the heart of the French technology ecosystem. The hub brings together experts, startups, researchers and large companies to accelerate the development of next-gen solutions on a large scale.
