"CHI’GRIDS, a Bengaluru-based energy intelligence platform focused on enterprise power, carbon and energy management, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Technavious Solutions to pursue pilot programmes and commercial opportunities in India’s growing data centre sector.

The partnership will combine CHI’GRIDS’ energy intelligence and digital power management capabilities with Technavious Solutions’ expertise in designing and delivering data centre infrastructure solutions across multiple geographies.

Under the collaboration, the companies will jointly engage with data centre owners, operators, colocation providers, hyperscale clients and infrastructure customers to address emerging energy and operational challenges in the sector.

CHI’GRIDS will extend its platform capabilities for data centre environments, enabling improved energy visibility, operational intelligence, reporting and sustainability management. The collaboration will also focus on pilot deployments, implementation planning and converting successful pilots into long-term commercial engagements.

Raahul Hari Nair said India’s data centre expansion is creating a new layer of energy complexity. He added that as AI-driven infrastructure scales, enterprises will need more intelligent ways to manage power sourcing, operational efficiency and sustainability.

Senthil Kumar R, CEO, Technavious Solutions, said the future of data centre infrastructure will depend not only on scale but also on how efficiently and sustainably these environments operate.

India’s data centre industry is expected to witness significant growth, driven by cloud adoption, AI workloads and digital transformation. The MoU will remain in force for an initial period of 12 months, during which both companies will explore pilot opportunities and future commercial engagements."
