STT Global Data Centres India Pvt Ltd

What STT Global Data Centres India Pvt Ltd does

STT Global Data Centres India Private Limited is a joint venture between Singapore-based ST Telemedia Global Data Centres and Tata Communications (holding a 26% stake), operating as one of India's largest carrier-neutral colocation data centre providers with 30+ facilities across 10 Indian cities and 390 MW of IT load capacity. The company delivers three core offerings — colocation, connectivity, and round-the-clock support services — under multi-year subscription contracts to hyperscale cloud providers, large enterprises, government agencies, and academic institutions. India operations are positioned within the parent group's broader 20+ facility, 2.3 GW platform across 12 countries in Asia-Pacific and Europe.

The company's technology stack is purpose-built for AI workloads, with rack densities from 10 to 150 KW per rack and proprietary cooling architectures including liquid immersion cooling (delivered via the Firmus HyperCube platform with sub-1.05 PUE), direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and AI-driven cooling optimization. NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center Program certification, support for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, and strategic partnerships with NVIDIA, Firmus Technologies, and Supermicro underpin the AI-readiness positioning. Complementary product lines include the Sustainable Metal Cloud GPU-as-a-Service platform, the AI Innovation Centre (sandbox with 14-day free trial for AI workload validation), and the AI Infrastructure Readiness Assessment framework. Sustainability is a stated differentiator, with over 78% renewable energy usage globally, 130+ MW of contracted hybrid renewable capacity through CleanMax (including a 26% equity stake), and a carbon-neutral-by-2030 commitment.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring multi-year colocation contracts priced on power density, space, and connectivity, supplemented by usage-based GPU compute revenue from Sustainable Metal Cloud and recurring connectivity services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales direct to major accounts, supported by strategic account management for hyperscalers, technology-partner channeling (NVIDIA Cloud Service Providers, Firmus), flagship executive events (Practical Insights series), and government MoUs across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. India is pursuing an IPO targeting up to $500 million at a $5-5.5 billion valuation, while the parent entity is now under KKR-led consortium ownership following a S$13.8 billion enterprise value transaction.
