OneQode has leased 14MW from AdaniConneX in India, its first deployment in the country, with more planned.

AI cloud and network infrastructure provider OneQode has secured data center capacity in India with AdaniConneX.

The company this week announced it has signed an agreement with AdaniConneX for 14MW of data center capacity in Siruseri Sipcot, Chennai. The deal marks OneQode's first major AI infrastructure deployment in the country. The company first announced plans to deploy in India and Thailand in July.

OneQode said the deployment will support large-scale AI training and inference, enterprise AI, and sovereign AI workloads. The company and AdaniConneX are also reportedly in discussions about additional capacity opportunities in India, potentially reaching 114MW.

"India is becoming one of the most important markets for AI infrastructure globally," said Johnny Blackfield, chief growth officer and president, EMEA & India at OneQode. "Working with AdaniConneX gives us a strong foundation to build at scale in Chennai. We have secured our initial 14 MW deployment and are continuing discussions with AdaniConneX on additional capacity opportunities of up to 114 MW in India as demand grows. The combination of infrastructure, competitive operating costs, and room to scale makes India a compelling market for our customers."

OneQode describes itself as a global AI infrastructure operator that designs, builds, owns, and operates compute and network infrastructure for frontier model providers, enterprise buyers, and AI-native companies. The firm said it has compute capacity and its own global carrier network, with deployment capability across more than 30 data centers on five continents.

The company previously signed a 15-year deal to lease 110MW of capacity from Bitzero's campus in Norway. On its website, OneQode says it is leasing from the likes of Global Switch, Vitro, Equinix, Reliance, NextDC, and CoreSite.

OneQode has previously announced a "multi-phase, multi-region" roll-out of AMD GPUs, including plans to deploy the chip company's Helios rack-scale systems.

AdaniConneX is the joint venture between Adani Enterprises and EdgeConneX, founded in February 2021. At full build-out, AdaniConneX's Chennai 1 will total 33MW. The first 17MW phase launched in 2022.
