The AI revolution is leading to a massive infrastructure overhaul and fundamentally re-engineering the economics of Data Center Interconnects (DCI) for the next 10-15 years. As GenAI workloads transition from training to inference, the industry is witnessing a seismic shift in data transmission, from North to South to East and West regions of India.

While established hubs face power and land constraints, emerging regional hotspots are projected to see over 40% CAGR in demand, offering high-yield opportunities for those who move first.

With GPU clusters now demanding 800G and 1.6T connectivity to prevent costly training bottlenecks, the interconnect has become the primary determinant of data center RoI. This webinar series, hosted by ETTelecom and led by Debarghya Ghosh, VP, Data Center Solutions, HFCL, will move beyond the hype to provide hard-number forecasts for the 2025–2035 window, specifically analysing how the bandwidth appetite of massive compute clusters is driving a redesign of global interconnect investments.
