India is leading in global AI revolution, says Ayyar
San Jose-headquartered Arrcus, the hyperscale networking software company and a leader in core, edge, and multi-cloud routing and switching infrastructure, says accelerated demand for next-generation AI, data centres and mobile networks in India contributed to its significant business growth.
Arrcus, along with expanding partnerships across the Indian technology ecosystem and new leadership in-country, is strengthening its commitment to deliver scalable, AI-ready networking solutions for data centre operators, telecom and communication service providers, as well as enterprises.
At the heart of Arrcus’ strategy is its Arrcus Connected Edge-AI (ACE-AI) Networking fabric, purpose-built to seamlessly connect xPUs (GPUs, DPUs, CPUs) and AI workloads scaling across datacenters, cloud, and mobile networks. This fabric enables customers to scale inferencing and training while reducing latency and cost and optimizing use of power — capabilities increasingly critical in India’s rapidly growing AI and digital economy http://commerce.gov.in.
“India is leading in the global AI revolution both as an innovation hub as well as a consumer of AI, with unparalleled market potential,” said Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus.
“By expanding our in-country workforce and leadership as well as deepening our local partnerships, Arrcus’ networking solutions are now the best choice for Indian customers as an alternative to incumbent providers like Cisco, Arista, and HPE-Juniper. We are excited to be at the GFF and IMC events in Mumbai and Delhi in India this week,” he said on 5 Oct http://meity.gov.in.
To support its rapid growth, Arrcus recently appointed Vikram Anand as Managing Director of India sales and business development. Anand brings strong sales experience in building and scaling global technology operations, including leadership roles at Dell, VMware, and Persistent Systems. He will lead Arrcus’ go-to-market initiatives in India, working with customers and partners.
Arrcus’ growing engineering team in India is led by Ashutosh Sharma, a veteran networking executive with over 25 years of industry experience from companies like Citrix, Cisco and Motorola.
Arrcus is expanding its partner ecosystem in India to facilitate the supply of open, disaggregated networking solutions that power digital transformation across industries. Arrcus’ innovative network infrastructure is now available for financial institutions, telecom and cloud operators, and other enterprises participating in India’s AI and 5G-driven growth.
“Fujitsu and Arrcus share a vision of delivering open, high-performance solutions that accelerate digital transformation,” stated Masaaki Moribayashi, SEVP Network & Data Centre, Fujitsu Ltd. “By collaborating in India, we’re enabling customers to build agile, AI-ready infrastructures that deliver efficiency, scalability, and sustainability across industries.”
“UfiSpace is committed to empowering operators with open, disaggregated networking platforms that scale seamlessly,” said Vincent Ho, CEO of UfiSpace. “Partnering with Arrcus in India strengthens our ability to deliver carrier-class solutions that meet the demands of AI workloads and next-generation mobile networks.”
“The future of networking in India is disaggregated and open,” said Nanda Ravindran, VP of Product Management & India Operations at Edgecore. “By combining Edgecore’s proven open hardware with Arrcus’s advanced ArcOS software, we are together delivering an agile, high-performance foundation that is essential for India’s digital future, from 5G expansion to the rise of cloud and AI.”
As India continues to emerge as a global hub for AI innovation and digital transformation, Arrcus is committed to playing a central role in building the networks that will power this next era of growth for India. By investing in local talent and leadership, strengthening its ecosystem of partners, and showcasing thought leadership at premier industry forums, Arrcus is deepening its commitment to India as both a market and an innovation center for the future of AI networking.
