Google on Wednesday announced a new undersea cable investment linking India to the US, Singapore, South Africa, and Australia as part of a package of infrastructure, skilling, and partnership initiatives unveiled by chief executive Sundar Pichai at a limited-access event in New Delhi. The centrepiece of Wednesday’s announcements is the America-India Connect Initiative, which Google said will deliver new subsea cable routes linking the US and India to multiple locations across the southern hemisphere. (RAJ K RAJ /HT PHOTO) The announcements position India as a central node in Google’s global AI infrastructure ambitions and come amid intensifying competition among American technology companies for influence in the country, especially as New Delhi hosts world leaders and tech leaders for the India AI Impact Summit. The centrepiece of Wednesday’s announcements is the America-India Connect Initiative, which Google said will deliver new subsea cable routes linking the US and India to multiple locations across the southern hemisphere. In a statement, the company said the initiative is anchored by its existing five-year, $15 billion AI infrastructure investment in India. …

Alphabet is taking on OpenAI with a gusto that underscores Wall Street’s perception that the Google parent is the leader in AI, a turn of events from a year ago when investors thought it was badly lagging behind rivals and punished its stock. That showed in the confident tone executives struck on the post-earnings call, the first since Alphabet released the Gemini 3 model. But its shares fell 3% on Wednesday after the company said it would spend up to $185 billion this year, deepening investor scrutiny as the expenditure potentially more than doubles from 2025 and eclipses rivals Microsoft, Meta and Amazon. “We’re quickly getting to north ‍of a ⁠trillion dollars in combined 2026 investment across the mega caps if we consider both capital expenditure and associated resourcing needs,” Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik said. “For that trillion to pay off suggests the total addressable market for AI-driven products and enhancements needs to be multiples of that very quickly.” For now, the AI spending is reaping returns, and its shares remain more than 80% higher …

Beyond chips, data centres lies India’s AI opportunity

Beyond chips, data centres lies India’s AI opportunity

December 24, 2025 08:42 AM IST First published on: Dec 24, 2025 at 08:41 AM IST The world is competing over AI. But this will not remain merely a race towards a smaller chip, a larger data centre, or a faster model. The winner will be determined by those who turn innovation into impact and convert technological advances into product value, institutional capacity and community trust. Power in this era will flow not only to those who own algorithms or command fields of silicon, but also to those who find ways to weave AI into daily life at the national or continental scale. Three distinct processes and evolutions compose this AI age. The first is the Compute Era, in which chip supply chains and hyperscale data centres determine market share. It tilts towards those with capital, energy and traditional resources such as land and water. The second is the Diffusion Era, where nations with population-scale digital platforms and deep real-economy deployment shape how and where value is created, captured, and compounded. The third is the …

NVIDIA’s Vision For AI Factories – ‘Major Trend in the Data Center World’

Published by Webster

Image: NVIDIA NVIDIA kicked off the Data Center World 2025 event this week in Washington, D.C., with a bold vision for the future of AI infrastructure. In his keynote, Wade Vinson, NVIDIA’s chief data center engineer, introduced the concept of AI-scale data centers; these massive, energy-efficient facilities would meet the soaring demand of accelerated computing. NVIDIA envisions sprawling “AI factories” powered by Blackwell GPUs and DGX SuperPODs, supported by advanced cooling and power systems by Vertiv and Schneider Electric. “There is no doubt that AI factories are a major trend in the data center world,” said Vinson. Completing phase one of an AI factory in Texas Vinson pointed to the Lancium Clean Campus that Crusoe Energy Systems is building near Abilene, Texas. As he explained: The first phase of this AI factory is largely complete: 200 MW in two buildings. The second phase will expand it to 1.2 GW. It should be completed by the middle of 2026. The design includes direct-to-chip liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, and air cooling. It will comprise six additional …
