Yotta Data Services, the data centre and cloud services division of the Hiranandani Group, an Indian corporate conglomerate, has established a strategic agreement with Bangladesh's Shamsul Alamin Group (SAG) to aid in the entry and growth of Yotta's operations there. As part of the cooperation, the Shamsul Alamin Group will use its extensive real estate knowledge and position as the industry leader to assist Yotta in seeing possibilities and collaborating to leverage Bangladesh's developing digital transformation market.

 

Yotta's recently unveiled Dhaka Hyperscale Data Center Park in Hi-Tech City, Gazipur brings together Yotta's leadership in first-rate data centre infrastructure and the Shamsul Alamin Group's established real estate domain knowledge.

 

Yotta's establishment of a data centre presence in Bangladesh has benefited greatly from the backing of the organisation, which has assisted with everything from land acquisition to building design and core-and-shell construction. The Shamsul Alamin Group will be crucial to Yotta's ability to bring on local technology partners, acquire customers, and expand its presence in the market for data centre, cloud, and digital transformation services.

 

Commenting on the partnership, Sunil Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, Yotta Data Services, said, "Transformation of lives and society is deep-rooted in Yotta's mission, and we do this by building a digital ecosystem that's inclusive, innovative and future-oriented. Our successful efforts in this direction have been pivotal in India's data center and digital transformation growth story. Built on a shared vision of elevating societies and placing Bangladesh on the global digital platform, our integrated partnership with the Shamsul Alamin Group is aligned precisely with the Digital Bangladesh vision of the Hon'ble Prime Minister H.E. Sheikh Hasina. We are grateful to the Government of Bangladesh for entrusting Yotta to be part of the country's economic growth. We also thank Mr. Sajeeb Wazed Joy, ICT Advisor to the Government of Bangladesh, for his progressive vision for Bangladesh's digital ecosystem. As we embark on our journey here, I thank the Shamsul Alamin Group for its extensive support and lending its proven capabilities to Yotta. Together, we are excited to foster growth that's mutual and instrumental in Bangladesh's digital and economic ambitions."

 

Sharing his thoughts, Alamgir Shamsul Alamin, Managing Director, Shamsul Alamin Group (SAG), said, "We are proud and elated to welcome Yotta and the Hiranandani Group to Bangladesh, a land abundant with opportunities. Learning about Yotta's successful efforts in India and its mission of bridging the digital divide, our partnership with them couldn't be more natural. Similar to India, our government has embarked on an ambitious journey of Digital Bangladesh, and we are proud to join forces with Yotta to set up its hyperscale data center park in Dhaka. This will play a transformative role in supporting the digitisation of businesses, and making technologies more accessible. As part of our strategic partnership with Yotta, we will share our regional leadership with them and provide continuous support through a joint go-to-market approach. We look forward to a successful and future-oriented partnership with Yotta."

 

In the upcoming 4-6 years, Yotta plans to invest around Tk 2000 crore to establish its Hyperscale Data Center Park in Dhaka. Two hyperscale data centre structures with a combined capacity of 28.8 MW and 4800 racks will be housed in the park. The park, which is anticipated to launch with the construction of the first data centre in Q3 of FY2024, will support the nation's efforts to undergo a digital transformation by acting as the digital backbone of businesses and a driving force behind Digital Bangladesh, the government's flagship initiative.
