A previously little-known company with the interesting name of Natural Environment Solutions (NES) has announced that it has launched a 5 MW data centre in Pune, India, marking its entry into the country's fast-booming data centre industry.
The company says it plans to scale up to over 100 MW of data centre capacity across the country in the next three years, capitalising on the country's fast growth in digital infrastructure and regulatory support for data centre investments (which has been reported here a number of times).
NES says it is dedicated to revolutionising data centre infrastructure development, optimising efficiency and cost-effectiveness through advanced automation and digitisation.
NES founder and CEO Umesh Sahay is quoted by India’s Economic Times as saying that the company is actively securing long-term power supply agreements with utility generators, ensuring cost-effective, environmentally responsible operations aligned with stringent sustainability standards.
He also says that the company’s modern data centres adhere to global regulations, integrating cutting-edge security measures to protect data integrity against evolving cyberthreats and that the company's focus on edge computing “responds to the growing demand for ultra-low latency and high bandwidth solutions crucial for hyper-personalised customer experiences and the rapid adoption of 5G and new-age applications”.
India's data centre capacity has doubled between 2020 and 2023, highlighting its emergence as a prime hub for technological advancement, according to the company, about which little information seems so far to be available.
However, Umesh Sahay is also a founder and CMD of Entrepreneurial Facilitation Centre, a leading real estate enterprise offering managed office space solutions for entrepreneurs, small and medium enterprises and large corporations.
