Furthermore, he explores how the group intends to leverage recent investments, such as Global Infrastructure Partner's acquisition by Blackrock, to bolster and enrich its presence in the Indian market. In the context of the evolving digital landscape, Paul discusses how Indian businesses are poised to leverage private AI and XaaS (Everything as a Service) to drive innovation and enhance operational capabilities. Lastly, with a growing emphasis on sustainability, the executive explores the adoption of liquid cooling solutions and their impact on the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability of digital infrastructure. +++ Follow us on: Subscribe: https://thetechcapital.com/register/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thetechcapital_ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-tech-capital Instagram: https://instagram.com/thetechcapital_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Tech-Capital-101679965480510 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ8yuPvtECZCwV2g9OkX1w #digitalinfrastructure #datacenter #thetechcapital #cloudadoption #cloudcomputing #datacentre #infrastructure #youleadwereport
