Yotta, Nvidia Launch Shakti Cloud On DGX Cloud Lepton To Power India’s Sovereign AI Ambitions

Yotta Data Services, a sovereign cloud infrastructure and platform services provider, has announced that it is teaming with Nvidia to advance sovereign artificial intelligence development across India and Southeast Asia, by making its GPU compute resources available on Nvidia’s DGX Cloud Lepton platform.

The platform integrates with the Nvidia software stack, including NIM and NeMo microservices, Blueprints and Cloud Functions, to accelerate and simplify the development and deployment of AI applications.

Yotta’s GPUs will be on the DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace at Yotta’s NM1 data centre, Mumbai, and D1, Greater Noida, with data residing within India’s borders and under India’s jurisdiction. 

Shakti Cloud will integrate with DGX Cloud Lepton software and host the training of a large language model designed for Indian languages and use cases. Developed in partnership with the Government of India under the IndiaAI Mission, this model will boost 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 in the Asia-Pacific region to join the Exemplar Clouds initiative.

“As an empanelled 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,” said Sunil Gupta, CEO and managing director, Yotta. “This enables startups, enterprises, and researchers to build homegrown large language models and AI solutions that reinforce digital sovereignty and innovation at scale.” 

Yotta will deploy the latest Nvidia B 200 GPUs to support advanced AI workloads, from LLMs and recommender systems to generative applications, Gupta said.

“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,” said Alexis Bjorlin, vice president of DGX Cloud, Nvidia. 

Yotta is also 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.

Sarvam will be the first to access Yotta Shakti Cloud with Nvidia DGX Cloud Lepton and NeMo to train India’s sovereign LLM. 

“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. “This partnership will help us bring AI into real-world use, from citizen services to enterprise applications, all built and run within the country.”
