Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Chennai AMD GPU Supercluster Expands Vultr’s Commitment to AI in India
Vultr and AMD’s new 20 MW supercluster of AMD Instinct™ GPUs in Chennai represents a massive doubling down on our commitment to India’s AI future. Our opening ceremony needed to reflect the importance of this new chapter. The event met the moment.
Government dignitaries, AI industry leaders, and innovators gathered in Chennai to kick off one of the world’s largest superclusters of AMD GPUs. We were not there to pat ourselves on the back. We were there to demonstrate how strongly we believe the investment is worth it for an Indian AI ecosystem with limitless potential.
Vultr CMO Kevin Cochrane took the stage to share why we’re so confident in that vision.
India is already home to some of the world’s most innovative and ambitious AI builders, from developers powering next-generation startups to large-scale enterprises operating at massive scale. There is no shortage of talent or ideas, and the agentic AI era is already ushering in new waves of breakthroughs and acceleration.
What enterprises need is the ability to get those ideas into production with control, flexibility, and operational efficiency. Our full-stack cloud platform makes those core requirements achievable.
The payoff goes beyond measurable business value. When innovators can access the infrastructure that successful AI development needs, it supercharges the whole industry. India’s open and collaborative AI ecosystem means that each innovation fuels the next – and that’s a mission we’re proud to be a part of.
The ribbon-cutting was only the beginning. We’ve already got plans to expand in 2027, with AMD Instinct MI455X GPUs and the AMD Helios™ rackscale solution.
That’s just Chennai. We’re expanding in India as a whole, too, with plans to add one gigawatt of computing capacity across multiple data center regions throughout the country by 2030.
We also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with StartupTN, the Tamil Nadu Startup and Innovation Mission, giving Vultr credits and preferential pricing to eligible startups across Tamil Nadu. Eligible startups can receive 20% discounts, plus $2,500 of Vultr credits for eligible early-stage startups and $45,000 of Vultr credits for eligible startups beyond the early-stage funding threshold.
We’re grateful to everyone who joined us in Chennai to celebrate this new chapter, from Tamil Nadu Startup and Innovation Mission chairman Thiru. Singai G Ramachandran to the builders, leaders, and journalists who packed the room to hear about what’s next in India’s AI landscape. We couldn’t be more excited to bring that vision to life.
