Yotta Data Services, a leading sovereign cloud infrastructure
and platform services provider, today announced that it is teaming with NVIDIA to advance
sovereign AI development across India and Southeast Asia by making its GPU compute
resources available on NVIDIA’s DGX Cloud Lepton platform.
Yotta’s Shakti Cloud will integrate with DGX Cloud Lepton software and host the training of
Sarvam’s Sovereign Large Language Model, an LLM designed exclusively for Indian languages
and use cases. Developed in partnership with the Government of India under the IndiaAI
Mission, this model serves as a foundation for the nation’s generative and agentic AI
development.
As part of this integration, Yotta becomes one of the first participants in the new DGX Cloud
Lepton marketplace. Yotta is also one of only five Reference Platform NVIDIA Cloud Partners
globally and the first NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) in the Asia-Pacific region to join the NVIDIA
Exemplar Clouds initiative.
“AI cloud computing is pivotal to India’s digital future,” said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, CEO &
Managing Director, Yotta. “As an empaneled partner in the India AI Mission, Yotta is proud to
contribute to the nation’s vision by delivering sovereign, high-performance GPU cloud
infrastructure through NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton. This enables startups, enterprises, and
researchers to build homegrown large language models and AI solutions that reinforce digital
sovereignty and innovation at scale.” He further added, “As part of our commitment, in the near
future we are deploying the latest NVIDIA B200 GPUs to support advanced AI workloads, from
LLMs and recommender systems to generative applications, accelerating India’s leadership in
AI.”
“India stands at the threshold of a new era, where cloud-powered NVIDIA AI infrastructure can
serve as an engine of innovation for over a billion people,” said Alexis Bjorlin, vice president
of DGX Cloud, NVIDIA. “With Yotta on the DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace, local enterprises
and startups can build and deploy world-class AI to empower India’s digital transformation.”
The platform integrates with the NVIDIA software stack, including NVIDIA NIM and NeMo
microservices, NVIDIA Blueprints and NVIDIA Cloud Functions (NVCF), to accelerate and
simplify the development and deployment of AI applications.
Yotta Integration with DGX Cloud Lepton Software Stack Supercharges India AI
Yotta is adopting DGX Cloud Lepton GPU management software, which delivers real-time GPU
health diagnostics and automates root-cause analysis, eliminating manual operations and
reducing downtime.
Yotta’s Shakti Cloud GPUs coming to the DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace reside in Yotta’s Tier
IV certified NM1 data center, Mumbai and D1, North India’s largest data center, Greater Noida,
supporting sovereign AI with data residing within India’s borders and under India’s jurisdiction.
The DGX Cloud Lepton software stack enables real-time GPU health monitoring and automated
workload orchestration across Yotta’s multi-region infrastructure. Developers can discover and
procure on-demand or reserved GPU instances, supporting seamless access from training to
deployment.
Sarvam To Train India’s Sovereign LLM With DGX Cloud Lepton
Sarvam will be the first to access Yotta Shakti Cloud with NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton and
NVIDIA NeMo to train India’s sovereign Large Language Model. Sarvam is on a mission to build
the bedrock of Sovereign AI for India and make GenAI a reality for Bharat. The team has
already demonstrated proven capability in developing foundational models proficient in Indian
languages.
“We’re building multi-modal, multi-scale foundation models that are capable of reasoning,
designed for voice, and fluent in Indian languages,” said Vivek Raghavan, Co-founder of
Sarvam. “Training our models on Yotta’s Shakti Cloud, powered by NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton,
is a meaningful step in advancing India’s sovereignty in AI. This partnership will help us bring AI
into real-world use, from citizen services to enterprise applications, all built and run within the country.”
