Google CEO Sunadar Pichai announced a full-stack AI hub in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. It is Google’s largest AI hub with the investment of $15Billion to major digital infrastructure commitment to India and transforming Visakhapatnam into a global node for artificial intelligence.

Key Highlights: 

• Google is establishing a full-stack AI hub as part of our $15 billion infrastructure investment Visakhapatnam (Vizag) in India.

• The hub will house gigawatt-scale computers and a new international subsea cable gateway, bringing jobs and cutting-edge AI to people and businesses across India.

• Gigawatt-Scale Compute will house a purpose-built data center campus with massive computing capacity to power Google’s AI models like Gemini and Veo and support Indian enterprises.

• Vizag will serve as a landing point for a new international subsea cable, establishing a high-speed fiber-optic route that connects India directly to the global network.

• Full-Stack AI hub will provide the entire AI stack from custom hardware (TPUs) to advanced software frameworks enabling startups and businesses to build and scale AI solutions locally.

• It will expand Google’s footprint in India and transform Visakhapatnam into a global node for artificial intelligence.

• Google is collaborating with AdaniConneX and Airtel to build out the physical infrastructure and connectivity for the hub.

What is Significance?

The AI hub will provide foundational “full-stack” infrastructure which is necessary to next-generation power AI services and reinforcing India’s position as a pivotal player in the global technology ecosystem. 

Democratizing Innovation by providing accessible, high-performance computing power and localized data sets, the hub will give more access to startups and researchers and cutting-edge AI development will be available to any innovator with a viable idea.

Developing India’s own infrastructure reduces reliance on foreign cloud providers and proprietary stacks which allows India to maintain control over its data privacy standards and Data Sovereignty:

A robust local ecosystem discourages "brain drain" by providing world-class facilities for India's massive pool of engineers and data scientists. It transforms India from a back-office service provider into a global laboratory for R&D and high-value intellectual property creation.
