Why are the world’s biggest tech companies suddenly pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into building AI data centres in India? In this video, we break down India’s massive bet on becoming a global AI infrastructure hub, and the hidden costs that could come with it. From Google’s giant data centre plans in Visakhapatnam and billion-dollar government incentives to the enormous demand for land, water, and electricity, we explore what India actually gains from hosting Big Tech, why local communities are pushing back, and whether data centres can really deliver the jobs, sovereignty, and economic growth being promised. Most importantly, we ask: if India gets only one major chance to position itself in the AI age, how does it make sure this bet actually pays off?
