Event Brief

Mumbai Cloud & Datacenter Convention & Awards Show Returns November 2025

The Indian Data Center & Cloud Market is taking giant leaps.

India is the second fastest-growing digital economy and it is projected that IT and Communications sector will double in size by 2025 to contribute US $355-435 billion to GDP. Nevertheless, nothing worth having comes easy!

Along with this exponent potential for growth in the Data Center, Cloud and Cyber Security market come the test of Performance, Flexibility concerns, Power management, Data Center staff productivity, Security & more…..

There are inherent limits to what Data Centres, Cloud & Cybersecurity can do! As tech enthusiast, we at W.Media will make sure that you all are well versed with all the current & future updates of the industry. This Physical Conference will take you through the pressing reformations of Datacentres, Cloud & Cybersecurity mitigations and how they are framing the future

Power Panel Discussion: How will AI Compute platforms launched by key colocation providers meet the needs of Indian businesses, Governments and society?

Meeting the demands of AI compute will represent one of the biggest challenges faced by the data centre industry in India. How will datacentres be built and configured to support these platforms? What will be the role of sovereign cloud in meeting AI-based demand?

Keynote Address: Do we yet have the means to deploy AI at scale?

The infrastructure required for housing AI is still very much a work in progress. Yet it is clear that the most likely forward path is for a steep growth in demand for AI which will require major facilities for housing and processing AI and which will require also storage and connectivity ‘at scale’ also. How soon can this be achieved?

Keynote Address: How will growing demand change the equipment and solutions deployed in data centres in India?

Will the equipment and solutions deployed in data centres remain the same as they were 5 years ago? How will growing demand and projected growth in rack numbers and densities change the monitoring and management of key resources – power, cooling, security,connectivity, skills – and how will these environments continue to meet the key requirements for
resilience, sustainability and cost-effective delivery?

Panel Discussion: Where Will Your Next Data Center Be? Site selection for the next generation of data centers

How is the evolution of the next generation of data centres changing the specifications of where they should be located? How have the requirements for access to power, water, connectivity, a suitably skilled labour force, suppliers changed how sites will be chosen? What are the implications for cities and regions looking to attract data centres?

Panel Discussion: Is modularity the future of data centre construction in India?

Will the pressures of increasing demand, speed to market and continuous availability change the way data centres are planned, built and operated? Have modular methods of design and construction already become the norm for the industry? What benefits does modular bring? And what challenges?

Keynote Address: Analysis: Which are the Key Demand Trends across the Industry and what does each mean for the Demand for Data Centre Services?

While demand for data centres has been strong in India and elsewhere around the globe, different sources of demand have different requirements and different profiles. How can ‘demand’ be broken down in order to provide a useful analysis of trends in demand requirements and supply provisioning?

Panel Discussion: What Lessons have been Learned from Powering and Cooling AI Loads so far and how can these be used to better design and operate ‘AI Critical Infrastructure’?

Looking both within India and overseas, how has AI impacted the requirements for power, cooling, connectivity and other resources? How has this compared to projections of what it would require? What are the reasons for differences between projections and actual requirements?

Panel Discussion: How will IT deployment decisions be made across the range of choices from colocation to GPU-as-a-Service?

Technologies and the development of service options have added a new range of choices for companies wishing to deploy their IT footprint in physical, virtual and cloud locations or in combinations of these. What drives these decisions – what is the importance of cost, IT access,
security, reputation, habit and other drivers?

Panel Discussion: What roles will cutting-edge technologies such as robotics and AI-driven recovery play in the operation of India’s IT infrastructure?

Automation has long played a role in data centre operation and management, and digital technologies have taken that role to a new level. How will the interplay between technology and
human skills work out going forward? What will the impact be on the skills requirement for working in data centre operations and management?

Panel Discussion: Regional Balance How do Government policies and strategies encourage data centre investment and growth in India?

The successful deployment of datacentres is a key contributor to India’s digital future. Globally,history suggests that the deployment works best locally and nationally when there are policies and strategies which match the need for data centre services with the availability of providers.
How will Governments influence the future growth of data centres? Which new growth factors and technologies should influence their thinking?

Panel Discussion: Are data centres too risk averse to be truly innovative?

As data centers continue to play a core role in the digital world, so the description of the data center as ‘mission critical’ takes on added weight. The dependence of most sectors of the economy, of individuals and of Government and public service institutions on data centers and
the ecosystem they enable adds to the impacts of service disruption in terms of cost, reputation,remedial strategies among other consequences. In this context, what role does innovation play across the life of the data center and how are innovation and ‘forward thinking’ delivered and
balanced against risk?

Panel Discussion: Are India’s data centres ready for the coming ‘Era of Digital Connectivity’?

Connectivity is a key requirement for data centres as the services it provides are only as good as the quality of the transmission to businesses, customers and individuals. The expectation of lower latency, higher reliability, greater speed and processing power is increasing in line with
user reliance. Data centres are very much part of this transition so how can they be prepared inside and out to focus on data storage, protection and processing and also on best practice in distribution as well?
