Co bets on local capacity, data centres, partnerships with Indian startups, governments
Preeti Lobana, country manager for Google India.
Google is laying fresh digital rails across India's artificial intelligence (AI) landscape.
As the AI race heats up among both Indian companies and global giants, the Big Tech firm is betting on local capacity, new data centres, and partnerships with Indian startups and governments to anchor its next phase of growth, its top executive in the country said in an interview.
“AI gives us a tool to leapfrog ahead,” said Preeti Lobana, country manager for Google India. “This is about transforming lives, not just balance sheets.”
On 14 October, Google announced a $15-billion investment to set up a data centre and international subsea gateway in Visakhapatnam, connecting the coastal city to several global networks. The facility—part of Andhra Pradesh’s goal to reach 6GW of data centre capacity by 2029—will be powered entirely by green energy, Lobana said.

When the Mumbai store of Moonray, a four-year-old ready-to-wear label started by Karishma Swali and her daughter, Avantika, shut down a few months ago, it seemed like it would cease to exist. But last week, the same address in the cultural district of Kala Ghoda opened the doors to Chorus, a brand by the mother-daughter duo that expands the Moonray universe to include ready-to-wear, couture, skincare, and a café with craft at the centre.
