 Welcome to JSATV Live at Data Cloud USA 2023, where we're covering the latest stories, trends, and innovations from leaders in global connectivity, real estate, and the networks within. I'm Allison Whelan, and today I'm joined by Narene Donoram of Airtel Business, a data center leader reimagining the future of global data center markets. Narene, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you very much Allison. Thanks for having me. Of course. Can you provide more detail about Airtel's initiative to source 23,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy for six next year by Airtel data centers by Q4 2324. Yeah. Absolutely. It's a very exciting announcement that we made recently, and next up is the data center arm of RPA-TEL, and next up offers the largest network of secure, scalable, and sustainable data centers across 120 plus cities in India. Next year has always been committed to sustainable best practices, and this initiative to source 23,000 megawatt hour of renewable energy is in line with the commitment to consistently invest in sustainable initiatives. With the addition of this new capacity, the total contracted capacity of renewable energy for next year data centers will be in excess of 274,000 megawatt hours, which will clearly put next year in the leadership position in terms of the renewable energy source for data centers. Absolutely. We love that sustainability investment that you guys are making. It's so great for our industry. In the context of renewable energy initiative, how does next year by Airtel integrate sustainability practices into its operations? Great question. By the way, sustainability is a top business priority for NeXTRA, and we have an ambition of going net zero by 2031, and we are committed to setting new benchmarks in the sustainability space in the data center industry as a whole, and we are aggressively scaling up our renewable energy capacity, and we have already tied up with 10 green energy companies with regard to expanding our capacity, and just to give you a perspective, we have already increased our capacity by 58 percent in comparison to the last year. Wow. That's the kind of scale we are trying to achieve. Additionally, in terms of the sources, we are currently leveraging wind and solar, and going forward, we are also implementing a lot of innovative green power solutions, and one good example of that is the recent deployment of hydrogen-based fuel cell, and we are the first data center company in India to deploy hydrogen-based fuel cells to renew, to generate green power for its data centers. Such critical work that your team is doing, and what sets Nexster by Airtel apart from similar service providers? Great. We today are the provider of the largest network of data centers in India, secure, scalable, and sustainable data centers. All things we love. Yeah. We are present in 120-edge data centers. We have presence and we have six hyperscalers under construction. We have 12 hyperscalers already operational, and India is, as you know, India is the fastest growing digital economy, one of the fastest growing economies in the world, digital economies, and I think we are positioned very well to cater to that demand of the fast-paced digitization that's happening in India right now, and we will be commissioning six new hyperscale data centers in the next three years, and which will result in increasing the capacity by 2x over the next three-year period, and that will make our capacity in excess of 400 megawatts of data center capacity in India. So growth and sustainability. That's right. Of course. That's right. So some of the USPs that we bring on the table for our customer is, we are a trusted partner. Today in the data center space, what customers look for is a long-term data center provider. So they look for financial stability. So that's what we bring on the table, and we are backed by one of the leading conglomerates, which is the Bharti Group, and of course, we are also backed by Carlisle Group, which is one of the world's leading investment firms. So that gives the confidence and comfort to our customers that we are a reliable, trusted, long-term partner. Yes, and a leader in this space. That's right. Also, in addition to data center, we are also a strong provider of network services. We are a strong footprint, both domestic and international footprint. So what we are bringing on the table for our customer is hyper-connected data center, low latency, carrier-dense kind of an ecosystem. That's one of the big values that we bring on the table. Additionally, Nextra also has expertise and experience in building large custom data centers for our customers, and we have a track record of delivering data center for our customers on time. Obviously, we deploy best-of-breed technology, cutting-edge best practices, and all of that. So that puts us in a leadership position when it comes to delivering actual delivery of data center services. Absolutely. Against all challenges in the emerging markets. To top it all, Green Power, as we spoke earlier, is a big part of our USP. We are one of the leaders in Green Power initiatives, a lot of investments, a lot of action already happening in that space. So all this combined, Trusted Partner, Network Footprint, DC Build Expertise, and of course, Green Power I think puts us in one of the leadership position in the data center space. Yeah. Trusted Partner, long-term and sustainable, all of our favorite things. So thank you so much for joining us, Niran, always great to talk to you and your team.
