AS INDIA BUYS MORE AI CHIPS , THE REAL TEST IS TO KEEP THEM RUNNING

What happened: As India expands AI computing capacity, executives at Neysa, Vertiv and networking firms say companies buying GPUs must also invest in storage, networking and power systems to keep the chips productive. Key numbers: Neysa has 12,500 GPUs live and plans to add 8,000. Why it matters: Executives say weak supporting systems leave GPUs idle and lower returns, and operators are already choosing infrastructure for newer chips so they are not left with GPUs they cannot turn on.
