Digital Connexion

What Digital Connexion does

Digital Connexion, legally Bam DLR Data Center Service Pvt. Ltd., is an India-focused data center operator established in 2021 as a joint venture among Brookfield Infrastructure, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), and Digital Realty, with each parent holding a 33.33% stake. The company delivers colocation, connectivity, and build-to-suit data center services from two campuses — MAA10 in Chennai (live since January 2024, initial 20 MW IT load expandable to 100 MW and ultimately a planned 120 MW) and BOM10 in Mumbai (under build, planned 35 MW IT load) — targeting hyperscalers, large enterprises, and digital services companies in India.

The underlying platform combines Digital Realty's PlatformDIGITAL and ServiceFabric for global, on-demand interconnection across 300+ facilities in 50+ metros, with Reliance's Jio providing domestic 4G/5G reach across 99.5% of India's population and DE-CIX providing internet exchange density at Chennai. Infrastructure is purpose-built for AI and HPC workloads, supporting rack power densities from 20 kW to 150 kW across air-cooled, Direct Liquid Cooling, and liquid immersion configurations, with MAA10 holding NVIDIA DGX-Ready certification and IGBC Green Data Center Platinum certification.

Digital Connexion monetizes through recurring, multi-year colocation and interconnection contracts plus managed build-to-suit deployments, priced on a quote basis against power, space, and connectivity requirements. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, leveraging direct enterprise engagement and the global reach of the parent companies' customer bases. The company is privately held under its JV structure, headquartered in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex, and led by CEO C R Srinivasan (appointed July 2025). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Yotta Data Services: Indian hyperscale data center operator (Hiranandani Group/Adani-backed) offering colocation, cloud, and managed services. Directly competes with Digital Connexion in Mumbai and Chennai for hyperscaler and enterprise workloads, with NVIDIA AI-ready offerings.
• AdaniConneX: Adani Group and EdgeConneX joint venture operating hyperscale and AI data centers across India. Closest comparable given similar JV structure (industrial conglomerate + global DC operator) and AI-ready facility roadmap.
• CtrlS Datacenters: India-founded hyperscale data center operator with facilities in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Noida. Directly competes on retail colocation, edge, and AI-ready capacity across the same metros.
• STT GDC India: ST Telemedia Global Data Centres India operates carrier-neutral colocation facilities across major Indian cities. Comparable on multi-metro footprint, enterprise focus, and connectivity-led interconnection strategy.
• NTT Global Data Centers India: Operates large hyperscale data centers in Mumbai, Chennai, and Bangalore through NXONE-Global Data Centers & Cloud Infra. Comparable as global DC operator with both India presence and AI/cloud-ready offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Global IBX colocation leader with extensive interconnection ecosystems. Comparable business model (retail colocation + interconnection) but broader global footprint; serves as benchmark for interconnection density and pricing.
• Digital Realty: Parent company and JV partner of Digital Connexion. Operates 300+ data centers globally via PlatformDIGITAL; Digital Connexion is its India vehicle and shares technology, methodology, and global customer reach.

Regional players

• Reliance Jio (Data Center arm): JV partner of Digital Connexion with nationwide 4G/5G and fiber. Operates its own data center infrastructure in India; an adjacent rather than directly competing player, but the partnership creates ambiguity over go-to-market boundaries.

Others

• AWS (Amazon Web Services) India: Hyperscaler that is both a customer and potential competitor for AI workloads in India. Indicative of demand scale but also caps upside if hyperscalers build their own AI-grade DC capacity.
• Microsoft Azure India: Hyperscaler anchor tenant category for Indian data center operators including Digital Connexion. Validates addressable demand but represents benchmark competitive threat for AI/HPC workloads.
