Data centers are becoming larger, more critical and more capital-intensive as cloud and AI reshape demand across Asia Pacific. But greater scale also brings greater complexity, from securing power and navigating regulation to meeting the expectations of customers, governments, communities and capital providers. In this opening fireside chat, Rangu Salgame, Chairman and CEO of Princeton Digital Group, will be interviewed by Michael Park, Senior Partner and Co-leader of McKinsey & Company’s Global Technology, Media & Telecommunications Practice. Drawing on Rangu’s experience building and scaling digital infrastructure across Asia Pacific, their conversation will explore: · How the industry is changing: What the next phase of growth looks like as cloud and AI drive larger, faster and increasingly complex infrastructure requirements. · What it takes to scale across APAC: Why success across diverse markets depends on combining global standards with strong local execution. · Where the capital will come from: As investment reaches unprecedented levels, how the capital base is evolving and where the next wave will come from. · What customers and capital increasingly value: Why track record, execution discipline, customer relationships and consistent delivery matter more as the industry scales.
