E2E Networks has announced its partnership with People+ai, an initiative by the EkStep Foundation, to address the growing demand for cloud GPU and compute power in India. This collaboration will strengthen India’s compute ecosystem by making advanced and customisable cloud resources more accessible to a wider audience.
People+ai’s Open Cloud Compute (OCC) project is central to this partnership, focusing on creating a network of micro data centres across India. The OCC project promotes an open, decentralised cloud infrastructure that allows businesses, developers, and government entities to collaborate effectively.
By utilising open-source technologies, OCC democratises cloud access, enabling organisations of all sizes to benefit from computing resources, reducing latency, and improving data sovereignty.
“At Open Cloud Compute, our vision is to democratise AI by making compute resources accessible to all innovators. The collaboration with E2E Networks will empower AI innovators across India, from early-stage startups to established industry leaders, fostering inclusive and diverse ecosystems for AI-driven innovation,”said Tanuj Bhojwani, Head of People+ai.
“We’re excited to partner with People+ai to make cloud computing and GPU power more accessible. This partnership will help businesses in India, big and small, leverage advanced AI and cloud technologies to innovate and grow. We aim to build a strong AI ecosystem that benefits everyone,” said E2E Networks’ chief revenue officer, Kesava Reddy.
The initiative is timely as India’s demand for scalable and flexible cloud solutions continues to surge, driven by rapid digital transformation across various sectors. E2E Networks, a leading AI-focused cloud company listed on the NSE and empanelled by MeitY, will offer high-performance cloud GPUs such as H100 and A100, along with cluster configurations and AI development studio TIR.
These resources will allow private and public organisations to train, deploy, and scale AI-driven applications with ease.
In an exclusive interview with AIM, Reddy previously revealed that he is actively in dialogue with folks from People+AI and the company also wants to be part of the government’s plan to build a GPU cluster of around 10,000-20,000 GPUs which will be made available for research institutions and startups in India.
“We have given our pre-bid queries to the government and are waiting for a response,” Reddy said.
Some of the notable customers of E2E Network include Zomato, IndiaMART, CarDekho, Zoomcar, Niyo, Nykaa, Mobikwik, Reverie, IIIT Hyderabad, ISB, IIT Guwahati, and Matrimony.com, among others.
As GPU computing becomes increasingly vital for specialised workloads like AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing, the partnership between E2E Networks and People+ai positions India to lead in the AI-driven future. This partnership will support startups, SMEs, educational institutions, and large enterprises alike, fostering innovation and competition across the AI landscape.
