- The partnership will establish an AI compute facility in Darvoz, Tajikistan, serving as a strategic hub for enterprise and public sector innovation across Central Asia.
- Foundational step in building Tajikistan’s national AI infrastructure aligned with the nation’s objective to derive 5% of GDP from artificial intelligence by 2040.
- Sustainably powered by renewable hydropower, reinforcing Tajikistan’s commitment to clean energy.
Dushanbe, Tajikistan, October 25, 2025: darya.ai Ltd, Tajikistan’s leader in sustainable AI infrastructure, and Yotta Data Services, India’s leading sovereign AI, hyperscale data center, cloud infrastructure and platform services provider, today announced the signing of a strategic collaboration agreement with the intent to develop a green AI data center in Darvoz, Tajikistan.
The collaboration aims to advance Tajikistan’s national AI infrastructure strategy and contribute to the country’s goal of deriving five percent of GDP from AI by 2040. Powered entirely by Tajikistan’s renewable hydropower, the project reinforces the nation’s ambition to become Central Asia’s emerging hub for AI compute, pre-training, and inference workloads.
The new data center will deliver high-density AI compute services tailored for enterprises, government agencies, and research institutions, while also supporting startups with access to AI clusters equipped with the latest NVIDIA GPUs. Designed to operate entirely on renewable energy, the project will support the government’s broader strategy to establish Tajikistan as Central Asia’s green AI compute hub. The country holds over 60 percent of the region’s hydropower potential and has committed to allocating power for AI development, ensuring long-term capacity and scalability.
The partnership combines darya.ai’s expertise in sustainable infrastructure and local integration with Yotta’s experience in developing high-density, cost-efficient data centers and operating a sovereign, high-performance AI cloud platform that provides scalable GPU infrastructure for AI/ML, HPC, and advanced analytics, powered by renewable energy. Together, the two companies will deliver next-generation infrastructure optimized for large-scale AI training, research, and enterprise applications.
“The collaboration with Yotta represents a key step in realizing Tajikistan’s vision to build sovereign, sustainable compute infrastructure,” said Kristina Zaalishvili, COO of darya.ai. “This project will not only strengthen regional AI capacity but also create new opportunities for high-skilled employment in AI engineering, operations, and research.”
Commenting on the partnership, Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, MD and CEO, Yotta Data Services said, “At Yotta, we believe the AI must be both accessible and sustainable and our partnership with darya.ai is a step forward in turning that vision into reality. By pairing our AI compute capabilities with darya.ai’s ecosystem and infrastructure support, we’re laying the foundation for a future-ready AI hub in Central Asia with the aim of enabling enterprises, governments, and innovators to access green, high-performance compute at scale.”
This partnership will also empower new applications across healthcare, finance, energy, and public services – enabling Tajikistan and the broader Central Asian region to participate directly in next-generation AI innovation.
The Darvoz facility marks the first phase of a multi-stage plan to position Tajikistan as a strategic bridge between South Asia and Central Asia in the global AI supply chain. It follows darya.ai’s recent launch of the country’s first NVIDIA H200 GPU cluster, inaugurated under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, H.E. Emomali Rahmon, in June 2025.
Through this collaboration, darya.ai and Yotta aim to deliver scalable, energy-efficient compute infrastructure that enables governments, enterprises, and research institutions to train and deploy AI models responsibly and affordably.
