New Delhi, Jan. 27 -- Ishan Technologies on Tuesday announced a Rs.300 crore investment plan to expand its digital infrastructure footprint across India, with a focus on AI-ready connectivity, sovereign cloud, cybersecurity, and platform-based services.
The investment will be deployed across metro, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities, and will also support the company's entry into new and emerging markets. The move comes as enterprises and government bodies increase adoption of artificial intelligence, cloud interconnectivity, and stricter data governance frameworks.
The Gujarat-headquartered ICT and digital infrastructure provider said it is shifting from a services-led telecom model to a platform-based approach that brings together data networks, cloud interconnect, MPLS, secure access service edge (SASE), and bandwidth-on-demand under a single framework. The company said the integrated model is aimed at enabling secure, software-defined, and scalable digital environments for enterprises and public institutions.
As part of its expansion, the company plans to grow its workforce by around 20% over the next two years. The company currently employs more than 2,000 people across engineering, network operations, cloud, cybersecurity, and managed services, with an emphasis on strengthening regional talent pools.
Pinkesh Kotecha, Chairman & Managing Director, Ishan Technologies, said, "As cloud becomes sovereign by necessity and networks move toward software-driven models in 2026, the real differentiator will be platforms that bring security, performance, and resilience together end-to-end. With investments in AI-led network optimisation, intelligent automation, and customer experience solutions, we are focused on making digital infrastructure more adaptive, efficient, and responsive to real business needs."
In a separate development last year, Ishan Technologies announced that it had been empanelled under the Government of India's IndiaAI Mission to provide high-performance AI compute infrastructure. Under that initiative, the company will offer access to more than 1,000 GPUs to support on-demand AI workloads for startups, researcher,s and public sector developers as part of a broader effort to build distributed sovereign AI infrastructure.
