NxtGen Cloud Technologies Unveils In-House AI Solutions in India

NxtGen Cloud Technologies, a leading Indian firm in the cloud space, has unveiled a series of enterprise-ready AI solutions. This move is a significant step in making AI truly enterprise-grade—sovereign, scalable, and usable.

A.S. Rajgopal, CEO and MD of NxtGen, emphasized the company's mission: “We’re proud to showcase not just the infrastructure but the intelligence that runs on it—built for India, in India.”

THE WEEK was among the select invitees for a media walkthrough at NxtGen’s flagship Data Centre Campus in the Bidadi Industrial Area, Ramanagara, Karnataka. During the event, NxtGen showcased several in-house AI solutions, including a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model.

RAG models enhance large language models (LLMs) by fetching external data to ground responses, reducing hallucinations and improving factual accuracy. NxtGen demonstrated how this technology can track project progress and workflows within organizations.

Other solutions unveiled include an AI-based voice tool for customer and internal support. The company also announced a major expansion of its data centre’s capacity with advanced liquid-cooled GPUs. It will soon add 1,536 NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, 512 AMD Instinct MI325x GPUs, and 2,048 NVIDIA B100 Tensor Core GPUs. Currently, the data centre operates with 512 H200s and 48 H100s.

NxtGen, positioning itself as India’s sovereign cloud leader, is one of three firms selected by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to provide GPUs for India’s AI mission. The company recently announced a strategic partnership with Thales to enhance the security capabilities of India’s sovereign cloud infrastructure, integrating defence-grade security solutions.

The company’s AI stack is already utilized by 40 enterprise clients. NxtGen emerged as the lowest bidder for advanced, current-generation GPUs from NVIDIA and AMD in the INDIAai tender for 10,000 GPUs. They have developed a dedicated portal to streamline access to GPU-specific software, AI frameworks, and tools, making it easier for enterprises to build and deploy AI workloads.

NxtGen recently launched India’s first purpose-built Financial Services Cloud (FSC) for the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector. The FSC ensures 100% data residency in India, eliminating exposure to foreign laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act.

To support its rapid growth, NxtGen is on a talent acquisition drive, aiming to hire 400 AI engineers, primarily fresh graduates.

NxtGen’s commitment to advancing India’s AI ecosystem is evident in its comprehensive approach, from infrastructure to innovative solutions. The company’s efforts are poised to drive significant advancements in the region’s technology landscape.
