Our Sovereign Data Center Footprints

Behind every digital transformation initiative lies infrastructure that must perform without compromise. ESDS delivers the geographic reach, operational resilience and enterprise-grade security required to support growth at any scale.

ESDS Nashik DC

Where the Underdogs Built the Benchmark

Nobody expected ESDS’s sovereign cloud story to begin in Nashik. That was the point. No legacy to protect. No playbook to follow. Just a team building sovereign cloud and data center infrastructure long before the market started talking about digital sovereignty. What emerged here became the foundation of ESDS’s sovereign infrastructure footprint across India. Our largest facility. Our deepest operational capabilities. The backbone supporting enterprise, BFSI, government and mission-critical workloads. From here. Still from here.

ESDS Airoli DC

Planned City. Unplanned Downtime? Never.

Built from scratch to support the scale, density and operational pressure Mumbai outgrew. Navi Mumbai was India’s urban experiment and it worked. This data center was built with the same intent: for workloads where uptime is measured in business impact, where a second of downtime costs and nobody in the boardroom finds it funny.

ESDS - STPI Bengaluru DC

The City That Argues About Tech at 2 AM. We Keep the Servers Running While They Do.

India’s startup capital. Its “we’ll disrupt that” capital. Bengaluru runs demanding workloads and demands demanding infrastructure. Built for density. GPU-ready. IoT-monitored. Designed for enterprises, platforms and digital businesses that operate around the clock. The city never sleeps. Neither does this data center.

ESDS - STPI Mohali DC

The north is serious about sovereignty. So are we.

Built for reliability, continuity and geographic resilience. Northern India’s enterprises and government workloads needed sovereign infrastructure designed to support long-term operational demands. Maximum geographic separation for disaster recovery pairing. The north is covered.

ESDS - STPI Noida DC

The Capital's Backyard. The Country's Command Center.

Noida sits at the center of northern India’s enterprise and government activity. This facility brings MeitY-empanelled, sovereign infrastructure to workloads that demand compliance without compromise. STPI-registered. Built for density, operational continuity and mission-critical deployments. Sovereign, where it matters most.

ESDS - STPI Kolkata DC

The east runs deep. So does this infrastructure.

India's eastern enterprises, government bodies and financial institutions run serious workloads. This facility brings sovereign, compliant infrastructure to match. Built for the institutions that have always defined this city. The east, covered right.

Regional by presence. Sovereign by design. Choose your fortress.

Four Commitments. Billion-Scale

ESDS’s 4Bs by 2027 mission is not a growth target. It is a declaration of what technology should accomplish for people, for the planet and for India.

4B

01

To Connect with 1 Billion People

Sovereign technology for every Indian. From the unbanked farmer receiving a MUDRA loan to the smart city citizen tracking their grievance online.

02

To Connect 1 Billion Devices

The smart metering rollout, the IoT pipelines, the edge infrastructure for Industry 4.0. All sovereign. All accountable.

03

To Become 1 Billion $ Enterprise

A billion-dollar technology company from a Tier 2 city. Not a relocation story. Built for the world.

04

To Plant 1 Billion Trees

The company is planting trees, adopting villages and building data centres.
