Ride-hailing giant Uber has partnered with Adani Group to set up its first-ever data centre in India, marking a major step in expanding the company’s technology and innovation presence in the country.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi announced the development on social media after meeting Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
Calling India an emerging global innovation hub for Uber, Khosrowshahi said the new data centre partnership with the Adani Group will help the company test and deploy advanced technologies in the country while strengthening their existing collaboration.
“Ready later this year, this investment will help us build at scale – from India, for the world,” he added.
Uber Bets Big On India’s Tech Growth
The announcement comes during Khosrowshahi’s ongoing visit to India.
Earlier, in October, Adani Enterprises, through its joint venture company AdaniConneX, partnered with Google to develop India’s largest AI data centre campus and green energy infrastructure in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Google’s proposed AI hub in Visakhapatnam will involve an estimated investment of around USD 15 billion over five years (2026-2030), including gigawatt-scale data centre operations backed by subsea cable connectivity and clean energy infrastructure to support advanced AI workloads in India.
The project is being developed in collaboration with ecosystem partners, including AdaniConneX and Airtel.
