OneQode has signed an agreement with AdaniConneX for 14 MW of data center capacity in Siruseri Sipcot, Chennai, its first major AI infrastructure deployment in India. The two companies are also discussing further capacity of up to 114 MW.

Key points
  • OneQode signed for 14 MW of data center capacity with AdaniConneX in Siruseri Sipcot, Chennai.
  • It is OneQode's first major AI infrastructure deployment in India.
  • Talks continue on additional capacity of up to 114 MW, which OneQode says could generate over US$6 billion in GPUaaS TCV revenue.
  • The deployment builds on OneQode's May 2026 collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct GPUs.
  • The Chennai site will connect to OneQode's network of more than 30 data centers on five continents.

What the agreement covers

OneQode, which describes itself as a global provider of performance digital infrastructure, said the deal covers 14 MW of capacity at an AdaniConneX facility in Siruseri Sipcot, Chennai. AdaniConneX is described in the announcement as one of India's fastest-growing data center providers.

According to OneQode, the Chennai deployment will support large-scale AI training and inference, enterprise AI and sovereign AI workloads. It forms part of the company's wider Asia-Pacific AI infrastructure expansion, alongside its deployment in Thailand.

The companies are continuing talks on additional capacity in India. OneQode says an expansion of up to 114 MW could generate over US$6 billion in GPUaaS TCV revenue for the company.

Why India, according to OneQode

Johnny Blackfield, Chief Growth Officer and President, EMEA & India at OneQode, said: "India is becoming one of the most important markets for AI infrastructure globally." He added that working with AdaniConneX gives the company "a strong foundation to build at scale in Chennai."

Blackfield said the company has secured its initial 14 MW deployment and is continuing discussions on additional capacity of up to 114 MW as demand grows. In his words, the combination of infrastructure, competitive operating costs and room to scale makes India a compelling market for its customers.

OneQode also points to India's position between EMEA and Asia-Pacific. As inference workloads become increasingly latency-sensitive, the company sees the country as an important location for serving workloads in both regions. It plans to combine large-scale compute capacity with its own low-latency global carrier network.

Hardware and network context

The deployment builds on OneQode's collaboration with AMD, announced in May 2026, to deploy AMD Instinct GPUs. OneQode also plans to use the AMD Helios rack-scale solution as part of its wider AI infrastructure rollout.

The company says it operates across more than 30 data centers on five continents, and that the Chennai site will connect into this existing infrastructure. OneQode describes itself as an operator that designs, builds, owns and operates compute and network infrastructure for frontier model providers, enterprise buyers and AI-native companies. It says its licensed carrier operations and compliance framework support sovereign AI deployments in strategic markets.

What it means for customers

For organizations planning large-scale AI infrastructure in Asia-Pacific, the Chennai capacity adds another location to OneQode's network. The company invites such organizations to contact it to discuss capacity and deployment requirements.

The larger 114 MW figure remains the subject of ongoing discussions, not a signed commitment. The confirmed part of the deal is the initial 14 MW in Chennai.
