Gorilla Technology lands major AI infrastructure deal in India
Gorilla Technology Group, Inc. (GRRR) said on Monday that it has signed an AI infrastructure deal with Yotta Data Services Private Limited to deploy GPU infrastructure in India.
Under the agreement, Gorilla will deliver approximately 640 high-performance NVIDIA HGX B200 servers with more than 5,000 GPUs for AI workloads.
The company said that it expects the agreement to contribute more than $500 million in revenue over the next five years. That would be roughly five times Gorilla's reported revenue of $101.4 million in 2025.
With Gorilla providing the GPU infrastructure, Yotta will implement and operate the GPUs in accordance with NVIDIA Reference Architecture (RA). Yotta's operations will be done out of its Uptime Tier IV NM1 Data Centre in Navi Mumbai.
Yotta is one of India's most well-known data infrastructure platforms and a leading provider in the country of hyperscale data centers. It will be delivering AI compute services including hyperscale GPU clusters, bare-metal GPUs, virtual machines, AI lab workstations, serverless GPUs and AI model end-points to enterprises and government customers.
In addition to its facility in Navi Mumbai that can scale up to 2 GW, Yotta also has a Greater Noida data center that's scalable to 250 MW.
Yotta also provides a vertically integrated platform offering specialized data center engineering and green energy sourcing, as well as managed services, cloud, and high-performance GPU compute.
“This is a defining step for Gorilla,” Gorilla Technology chairman and CEO Jay Chandan said in a statement. “India is one of the world’s most important AI growth markets, where sovereign ambition, hyperscale compute demand and real infrastructure deployment are accelerating together.
"By signing up with Yotta, we are placing Gorilla directly into India’s AI infrastructure buildout with a partner that brings scale, credibility and execution.”
Gorilla's shares gained 4.5% on Monday.
Gorilla has faced questions over its business
Gorilla said that it is exploring "a broader deployment pathway" in India with Yotta, which could include the "deployment of more than 5,000 additional servers, over the next year or so."
“India’s AI ambition will be built on access to serious compute, serious infrastructure and partners that can execute at scale," Yotta co-founder and CEO Sunil Gupta said in a statement. "Yotta has built its Shakti Cloud platform to serve that need through sovereign AI infrastructure designed for India’s next wave of enterprise, public sector and national AI demand, as well as serving global GPU compute demand from India."
"We believe Gorilla brings strong complementary capability in GPU infrastructure and commercial execution, and we see this collaboration as an important step in scaling AI capacity in India," Gupta added.
Gorilla faced some controversy last year when a short report by Culper Research accused Gorilla of running a fraudulent operation, claiming that it had "drastically misrepresented or simply fabricated nearly every aspect of its business, spanning the Company’s product claims, office openings, and supposed multi-billion-dollar backlog and ‘signed contracts.’”
The report, written by Culper’s Christian Lamarco, was especially critical of Gorilla’s product lineup, arguing that the firm’s “technological abilities are practically non-existent,” and that it sells off-the-shelf hardware it doesn’t manufacture.
That includes an image of its AI hardware described as a standard Dell desktop PC with a Gorilla logo “slapped on top,” available online for under $500.
Gorilla, which sells AI-driven IoT solutions focused on video surveillance and security, sued Culper over its report, accusing the firm of making “false, misleading and defamatory statements” and is seeking compensatory and punitive damages from both Culper and Lamarco.
The company claimed the report “goes beyond any market distortion or disinformation efforts we have observed” and calls it “especially brazen and nefarious.”
