Novacore Innovations, a Mumbai-based AI infrastructure provider, has launched India’s first GPU cloud platform powered by NVIDIA Blackwell servers, marking a significant milestone for the nation’s AI ecosystem. Announced on August 29, 2025, this deployment leverages India’s cost advantages and technical expertise to deliver scalable, high-performance computing to startups, researchers, and enterprises globally.
Novacore Innovations, founded in late 2024 by San Francisco-based Ranbir Badwal and Mumbai-based Aryamaan Singhania, has deployed India’s first GPU cloud platform using NVIDIA Blackwell servers. Headquartered in Mumbai, the company capitalizes on India’s competitive electricity costs, skilled workforce, and Hyderabad’s robust datacenter ecosystem to provide cost-effective AI infrastructure. This initiative strengthens India’s position in the global AI market, projected to grow at a 31.5% CAGR through 2030, by offering scalable solutions for advanced AI workloads.
Novacore secured ₹44.6 crore ($5.1 million USD) in financing, led by Rashi Fincorp with participation from U.S. and Abu Dhabi investors. This funding supports the rollout of the Hyderabad Blackwell cluster, enhancing domestic compute capacity. “The line of credit will fund the rollout of Novacore’s first Hyderabad Blackwell cluster, strengthening domestic compute capacity while helping research teams and enterprises run advanced AI workloads without relying on overseas resources,” according to the announcement. This financial backing enables Novacore to scale its infrastructure to meet growing demand.
Novacore’s platform targets three high-growth markets: India’s startup ecosystem, U.S. innovators, and Middle East organizations. Customers benefit from lower costs, rapid provisioning, and scalable GPU power for applications like generative AI, large language models (LLMs), scientific computing, and real-time analytics. To accelerate adoption, Novacore offers free trials of Blackwell clusters to qualifying startups and labs, fostering innovation across regions. “By focusing on efficiency and talent, we are delivering unmatched value to innovators in India, the U.S., and the Middle East,” said Aryamaan Singhania, Co-founder.
The core of Novacore’s platform is the NVIDIA B200 server, Blackwell’s successor to the H100/H200. The B200 delivers up to 2.3x higher peak performance, doubles real-world AI speed, and offers 25x greater energy efficiency. With 192GB HBM3e memory and 8TB/s bandwidth, it supports trillion-parameter model training, accelerating training by 3x and inference throughput by up to 15x. This performance enables cost-efficient, high-speed AI processing, critical for modern AI applications.
Novacore aims to democratize access to advanced computing, leveraging India’s cost-effective datacenter environment. “Our goal is to democratize access to the most advanced computing,” said Ranbir Badwal, Co-founder. “What some call an almost datacenter bubble in India has kept hosting costs well below the U.S., where companies face bidding wars over datacenters.” This cost advantage allows Novacore to offer competitive pricing, enabling startups and researchers to prioritize innovation over infrastructure costs.
Novacore’s launch of India’s first NVIDIA Blackwell-powered GPU cloud positions it as a leader in AI infrastructure. By combining cutting-edge technology with strategic financing and a focus on global markets, Novacore is driving the future of AI innovation, empowering businesses to scale efficiently and compete on a global stage.
Founded in 2024, Novacore Innovations delivers ultra-competitive pricing for deep learning through premier datacenters in India and the United States. The company provides direct access to the latest NVIDIA GPUs and adaptable infrastructure, enabling customers to train, fine-tune, and deploy models at scale. Clients can choose pre-built templates or bring custom configurations, supported by Novacore engineers across any major ML framework.
