Indian startup deploys 1MW modular data centers in 8 weeks, air-cooled, no water
kingslyj · x · 2026-11-06
Bengaluru-based startup Evora is building modular, stackable 1MW data centers (N1 Pods) that can be deployed next to solar farms in 8 weeks — versus the 6 months it typically takes AI companies to secure a new grid connection. The pods are air-cooled, requiring no water.
A follow-up question raises practical deployment details: lead times for redundant fiber connections to remote solar farms, and whether solar farms have bi-directional net-metering grid connections.
