Being a capital-intensive industry, this would be critical for the industry to be able to grow rapidly and in sync with the needs of data localization and digital India, said Devroop Dhar, co-founder, Primus Partners. “This would also help Indian companies in this space to compete with its global peers and thus provide more choice and better service to end clients. We expect to see tremendous growth in this segment, which would bring in more high-end technical jobs. This can also be a scope for states to attract data center industry, as presently most of it is concentrated in 2-3 regions only,” added Dhar.
