Organisations across the globe are moving their data to well-equipped data centres. India, with a total of 126 third-party data centres, are owned and run by 53 different companies. Nonetheless, the capacity is highly concentrated among the top 12 players, who control 95% of the country’s total IT Power capacity, as per a report. Another report has projected India’s data centre market to expand at a rapid 25-30% CAGR, reaching $4.5 – $5 billion by 2025.

In recent news, Singapore-based data centre provider Princeton Digital Group has also announced its plan to build its first data centre in Mumbai, India. Everything till now seems perfect and smooth, but hold on! Do the companies have a backup plan or an exit door? What if something went wrong? Isn’t it true that the viability of a company’s most important asset depends entirely on the performance of a third-party?
