Uber Technologies CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who is visiting India, has announced that the company is setting up its first data centre in India with the Adani Group. The move shows how India is increasingly becoming central to the global technology strategies of multinational companies. It also indicates the growing importance of localised computing, AI deployment and digital sovereignty in the next phase of platform economies. For Uber, the investment is about scale, resilience and product development while for India, it is another sign that the country is no longer merely a market for global tech firms but a strategic base for innovation. For the Adani Group, it is yet another step in its rapid transformation into a digital infrastructure powerhouse.
