 Get it. Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech, telecom, and data center professionals. I'm Buffy Harakitas, coming to you live from PTC 23. And this is the biggest PTC to date here in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. And joining me today is Rangu Sagame. Good morning, Buffy. Good morning. He is the CEO, chairman, and founder of Princeton Digital Group, also known as PDG. That's right. That's right. And we just found out the meaning behind the name while you give viewers a little bit more about that. Oh, that's funny. We are happy to be neighbors, so we live about 20 miles apart in New Jersey outside New York City. You know, as we just spoke earlier, Buffy, I live in the town of Princeton. That's my hometown. So that's kind of the boring name of the company that I happen to pick when we started the company. But I live in Singapore now for business. We are headquartered in Singapore and focus on Asia. Wow. That's exciting. We are neighbors here all the way across the world in Hawaii today for PTC 23. So for viewers that don't already know, and I'm sure many of them already do, but can you give us a little bit more information about Princeton Digital Group as it makes it so unique? Sure, sure. Thank you, Buffy. We are a Pan Asia data center company, Buffy. We started about five years ago and our primary focus was to build a Pan Asia data center company serving some of the largest hyperscalers, the cloud companies. And over the last five years, we've been able to grow quite a bit. So we are one of the largest footprints in Asia now in five countries, 600 megawatts and 20 data centers. So that's a pretty large footprint we've been able to build. So we are in five countries in Singapore, China, Indonesia, India and Japan. 20 data centers, five countries and a pretty large footprint. And we are backed by some of the world's largest private equity investors, Warburg Pinkers, Ontario Teachers Pension Plan from Canada and Mubadala from Abu Dhabi. So three large private equity investors and a pretty large footprint headquartered out of Singapore serving hyperscalers. Hi. Well, you talked a lot about hyperscalers and got your footprint there across Asia. What types of companies other than hyperscalers and which type of geographies they're looking to maybe expand into the Pan Asia region would benefit from Princeton Digital Group? Yeah. I mean, Asia is the fastest growing region in the world. Growing at over 20% year over year across the region and the market is not bigger than North America. So over $25 billion market growing at over 20%. So it's a very exciting market and the world's some of the largest hyperscalers are investing quite a bit in this part of the world, the Asia part of the world as they see their market grow. And as their market grows in Asia, they are looking for partners to be able to buy, supply them with data center services, capacity and companies like PDG become a very attractive partner for them because we are in multiple countries and that's where more and more hyperscalers are looking for partners who can serve them across multiple countries at global standards, good quality and be able to grow with them in the region and have the right kind of capital to help them grow. Right. Well, we talked a lot about all the megawatts there and the capacity that you have across Asia which brings me to this next question here. As you can see everywhere, you know, sustainability is such a hot topic in our industry. We just launched a greener data directory of JSA yesterday. So tell us a little bit more about Princeton Digital Group and their sustainability initiatives and goals. Yeah. I think as you just touched on, you know, sustainability is a core to our industry. We consume a lot of power in our industry and the way we look at PDG is not that it's a problem. It's more about an opportunity because as an industry which consumes so much power but also brings a lot of efficiency to consumers and enterprises because of cloud and commerce. So we look at it from that perspective and say, what can we do as PDG to be a market leader in bringing not only efficiency in our data centers but also acquire green power and do more innovation around energy storage and those kind of innovation that'll help PDG but also as an industry that we can get better in terms of how we consume power and how we bring in more green power into our infrastructure. Well, I'm very honored to be sitting next to you. I mean, you are one of the top thought leaders in our industry. You bring too nice to me, Buffy. And, you know, as a thought leader in our industry, very well respected, well known around the world. What trends do you see impacting the industry as we approach 2023? Yeah, I think we are fortunate to be an industry where the demand for data center continues to grow because of all the innovations in technology like artificial intelligence, things like metawars that's coming in the coming years. These are technologies that are going to drive a lot more data generation data being created and that would require more data centers. So if you look at the next 5, 10 years, it's a very exciting place to be. We see a lot more capacity being required by the industry to drive data center and cloud services in the market. And particularly Asia, as we touched on earlier, is where we have, you know, over 3 billion people. Some of the world's largest economies now like Japan, China, India. I think we are very excited about what we are seeing in Asia in the coming year. Yeah, it definitely is exciting for sure. And can you give us a preview of what we might expect specifically from PDG in the next year ahead? Sure, Buffy. I think if you look at it from our growth strategy perspective, it's relatively simple. It's true prong. We're going to grow deeper in the markets we're already in like Japan, like India, and also enter a couple of new markets like Korea and Philippines. So we expect to grow deeper in the markets and enter a couple of new markets. So that's what we'll see in the next 12 to 18 months. All right. And where can viewers go if they want to keep up to date with PDG and find out more information? Give me a call. Okay. And we can go to our website, PrincetonDG.com, and our marketing information is there. Reach out to us and call any one of us. We'd be delighted to share more about what we do and what our offerings.
