Bilkul Bazaar
Ahmedabad
Senior leadership of ESDS Software Solution Limited, including Piyush Somani, CMD; Sameer Redij; Sanjiv Nair, CTO & CIO; and the Additional Director and CBO, along with Amish Patani of DAM Capital Advisors, were in Ahmedabad on Thursday to brief the media on the company’s upcoming initial public offering (IPO), its business model and growth plans.
The company has fixed the IPO price band at ₹408–₹429 per equity share, with the issue opening on August 28, 2026 and closing on September 1, 2026. The minimum bid lot is 34 equity shares and the issue comprises a fresh issue of up to ₹720 crore.
AI Cloud and Data-Centre Infrastructure at the Core
ESDS, incorporated in 2005, operates across AI-enabled cloud services, managed services, data-centre infrastructure and software solutions.
The company positions itself among the very few Indian players offering the complete spectrum of GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS), cloud, managed services, data-centre infrastructure and software solutions.
According to the company, it was the largest among the two players in this segment in terms of revenue from operations in FY2026, with revenue reaching ₹472.21 crore.
From Cloud Infrastructure to Software Solutions
The company’s business is spread across three broad areas—Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), managed services and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Its IaaS business includes colocation and data-centre services, cloud services and cloud computing. The company also provides managed services and SaaS solutions designed to help customers adopt cloud infrastructure while improving cost efficiency, security, flexibility, scalability and reliability.
The management highlighted ESDS’s early-mover position in community cloud services in India, where its multi-tenant model caters to organisations with common requirements relating to data privacy, security, compliance and regulation.
2,501 Customers Across Key Sectors
ESDS has built a diversified customer base across banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), government and public-sector organisations, businesses and enterprises.
The company served 2,501 customers in FY2026, reflecting the breadth of its customer base and its presence across multiple end-user industries.
₹11,831-Crore AI Infrastructure Opportunity
One of the major talking points during the Ahmedabad interaction was ESDS’s strategic AI cloud infrastructure agreement with an Australia-based neocloud AI compute service provider.
The agreement, signed on March 31, 2026, has an initial tenure of five years, with an option to extend it by another two years. The total contract value is approximately US$1.25 billion, equivalent to around ₹11,831.25 crore based on the exchange rate cited by the company.
Under the agreement, ESDS is required to deploy and operate a dedicated AI infrastructure cluster within an existing data-centre facility in Australia.
8,208 NVIDIA B300 GPUs to Power AI Cluster
The planned infrastructure will comprise approximately 8,208 NVIDIA B300 GPUs, along with associated storage infrastructure.
The company has targeted completion of the infrastructure deployment by September 2026, with revenue generation under the agreement expected to begin in the third quarter of FY2027.
The agreement provides for service fees to be paid on a monthly basis and is expected to strengthen ESDS’s access to dedicated, high-performance AI computing capacity for its cloud and managed-services businesses.
Strong Improvement in Revenue and Profitability
ESDS has also reported a significant improvement in its financial performance.
Revenue from operations increased from ₹286.52 crore in FY2024 to ₹472.21 crore in FY2026.
Net profit rose sharply from ₹13.61 crore in FY2024 to ₹120.82 crore in FY2026, according to the company.
The management presented this growth as an indication of the company’s expanding scale and improving profitability as demand for cloud, AI infrastructure and managed services increases.
IPO Details at a Glance
The IPO will open for subscription on August 28 and close on September 1, 2026. The price band has been fixed at ₹408–₹429 per share, with a minimum application of 34 shares.
At the upper end of the price band, an investor applying for one lot of 34 shares would need to invest approximately ₹14,586.
The equity shares are proposed to be listed on the NSE and BSE.
DAM Capital Advisors Limited and Systematix Corporate Services Limited are the book-running lead managers to the issue, while MUFG Intime India Private Limited is the registrar.
ESDS Bets on the Next Phase of AI Infrastructure
The Ahmedabad interaction comes at a time when demand for high-performance computing, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled services is expanding rapidly.
With its existing cloud and data-centre operations, growing customer base and the proposed Australian AI infrastructure deployment, ESDS is seeking to position itself as an integrated player across the rapidly evolving AI and cloud infrastructure ecosystem.
The company’s upcoming IPO, therefore, offers investors an opportunity to participate in a business that is increasingly moving beyond conventional cloud services towards AI computing, GPU infrastructure and large-scale managed cloud solutions.
