In his new role, Vipin will take charge to establish a global operational framework, processes and systems that will lead CtrlS into the next generation of AI/ML-ready data centres. Supported by a strong leadership team, he will also focus on achieving the operational benchmarks for company’s data centre facilities in India, as well as in the emerging markets.
