India is in the hub of a data revolution. With surging internet usage, widespread adoption of AI, and stringent local data storage regulations, demand for robust, secure, and scalable data storage solutions has skyrocketed. Projections estimate that India’s data center capacity, which stood at around 1.4 GW in 2024, is expected to surpass 9 GW by 2030.
To sustain this growth, a new constellation of both international giants and homegrown players has emerged. This article unpacks ten leading data storage and data center companies in India, underscoring their unique strengths and contributions – and spotlights Kennies Data Center as an imperative, client-centric force in the industry.
Growth Of Data Storage Companies
Data storage has been drastically expanding globally, with over 64.2 zettabytes of recorded data in 2020. This data which is created and consumed will reach 180 zettabytes by 2025. This huge increase in data volume could be attributed to the latest rise in the number of IoT sensors and edge systems. The increasing demand is because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused more people to work and learn from home, becoming a contributing factor.
