Web Werks signed a memorandum of understanding with the local government of Karnataka for the data center in July 2021.
“The addition of this data center is part of our national expansion and we are extremely happy and grateful to the Government of Karnataka for their support,” said Nikhil Rathi, CEO, Web Werks data centers.
