AI cloud company CoreWeave, which counts Nvidia as a key backer, is setting up its first India office and hiring local talent as the American firm enters the country with its first data centres.

This makes the Nasdaq-listed company the latest AI firm to expand its footprint in India, joining the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and ElevenLabs, which have stepped up their investments and operations in the country over the past year.

“India has the talent, developers, and ambition to become a major centre of AI innovation,” said Sachin Jain, Chief Operating Officer of CoreWeave.

“We are investing in the infrastructure, technology, and local presence needed to support that growth, bringing 240 megawatts (MW) of capacity, Nvidia Vera Rubin, and CoreWeave’s expertise to customers building and scaling AI in India,” he added.

Why CoreWeave is expanding to India?

CoreWeave, which had one of the biggest technology IPOs of 2025, said the India expansion reflects growing customer demand for its AI cloud platform and the company’s strategy of bringing its purpose-built infrastructure closer to customers around the world.

The move will give enterprises in India access to the specialised compute, software and services needed to build, deploy and scale AI.

The firm is partnering with AdaniConneX, a joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, for the expansion. The new campus will span three 80 MW buildings at AdaniConneX’s Taloja campus in Navi Mumbai.

The first data centres are expected to be available in mid-2028 with additional capacity coming online in phases. CoreWeave said it will be the sole tenant across the three buildings, with the opportunity to double its capacity by adding up to 240 MW at the campus.

CoreWeave said it plans to bring next-generation AI infrastructure to Indian data centres, including deploying Nvidia’s latest Vera Rubin platform for increasingly complex AI training, inference, reasoning, and agentic workloads.

The Taloja facilities are being designed specifically for high-density AI infrastructure, including direct liquid cooling for GPU data halls and a non-evaporative chilled-water system. The design will also support future generations of AI computing as the technology evolves, the company said.

India’s growing AI infrastructure buildout

The development comes as India seeks to establish itself as a major global hub for data centres and AI. Amazon, Microsoft and Google have committed nearly $57 billion to expand their cloud infrastructure footprint in the country.

Meta is also partnering with Reliance Industries to build its first AI-enabled data centre in the country.

For CoreWeave, the India expansion builds on its growing footprint in Asia and adds to its global infrastructure presence that includes North America and Europe.

In August, the company announced plans to enter Indonesia, marking its first foray into Asia. As of August 2026, CoreWeave said it had 4.2 gigawatts worth of contracted power.
