This is on top of its ongoing deployment for the government's India AI Mission, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sunil Gupta (pictured) said.

Yotta, backed by real estate behemoth the Hiranandani family, has almost deployed all of the first tranche of its 8,000 GPUs. These have been given to AI startups, such as Sarvam AI and Soket AI, who are trying to build sovereign large language models (LLM).

The second tranche of another 8,000 GPUs has been ordered already and should be put to use by December or early next year.

"I have given the government an in-principle commitment that we are willing to go for another 8,000 B200 Nvidia GPUs. They are pushing me to get the ordered ones by December as they have to give all those to the new operators," Gupta told Business Standard in an exclusive interaction.
