The first conversation starts here

A new platform.
A shared industry agenda.

Cloud, AI and digital services are driving demand for data centre capacity — and for the power, cooling, connectivity, construction, land and investment behind it.

DCX is being created as a dedicated B2B platform for the people building, operating, investing in and supplying India’s digital infrastructure.

The journey begins at Municipalika 2026. The Launch Summit introduces DCX through a focused conference on the opportunities and challenges shaping the sector.
