Hey there!

It’s Sparsh here!👋 

The global AI landscape is undergoing a massive shift from experimental research to industrial-scale application. While India possesses one of the world's largest pools of AI developers, the high cost of computing and the complexity of managing GPU infrastructure have remained significant hurdles.🚧

Most enterprises find themselves trapped between expensive global hyperscalers and the rigid limitations of on-premise hardware. Neysa, a Mumbai-based pioneer, has emerged to bridge this gap by providing an "AI Acceleration Cloud" designed to simplify, secure, and scale the next generation of Indian innovation. 🚀

CONTEXT
🔎Setting the Stage

1. India's AI market is projected to reach approximately $22 billion by 2027, growing at a staggering CAGR of over 25%. 📈 

2. As enterprises move from "pilot projects" to "production-grade" AI, the inefficiency of standard cloud setups has become apparent. 💡

3. Estimates suggest that nearly 40% of cloud resources are overprovisioned, resulting in millions of dollars in wasted capital. 💰️ 

4. In early 2026, the demand for localised "Sovereign AI" has intensified as the Indian government continues to roll out the IndiaAI Mission, which has allocated over ₹10,000 crore to bolster local compute capacity. 💵

COMPANY BACKGROUND
📌Core Insights

• 🌏Headquarters: Mumbai, India

• 👥Core Team: Sharad Sanghi (CEO) and Anindya Das (CTO)

• 💼Business Model: B2B Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS); Tiered subscription and usage-based pricing

• 🏢Founded: 2023

• 🔎Traction: Series A funded; serving BFSI, eCommerce, and Public Sector clients

🔍 Behind the Strategy

🤔What’s Exciting?

• ⚡Infrastructure Pedigree: CEO Sharad Sanghi previously founded Netmagic, India's premier data centre company. This deep expertise in "the plumbing of the internet" provides Neysa with a significant advantage in managing the physical and digital layers of AI compute. 🤖 

• 🔎Sovereign AI Focus: By hosting and fine-tuning models like Llama, Mistral, and GPT-OSS within Indian borders, Neysa addresses critical regulatory requirements for the banking and government sectors.

• 🛠️The "Neocloud" Model: Neysa doesn't just rent hardware; it provides a pre-configured environment with integrated tools like PyTorch and Jupyter, allowing developers to go from code to production in minutes rather than weeks.

🤔What’s Risky?

• 💵Capital Intensity: The AI infrastructure market is an "arms race" for the latest chips (H100s, H200s). Neysa must continue to secure massive capital to keep its hardware from becoming obsolete.

• 📩Hyperscaler Competition: Global giants like AWS and Azure have deep pockets and existing enterprise relationships. Neysa's success depends on maintaining its 40–60% cost advantage and specialised local support.

• 💡Talent Scarcity: While India has many developers, specialised MLOps and infrastructure engineers are in high demand. Neysa must continue to attract top-tier engineering talent to maintain its orchestration edge.

🏗️ Technical Architecture and the Velocity Program

At the heart of the operation is Neysa Velocis, a platform that unifies the entire machine learning lifecycle. It offers:

• 🔧GPU Orchestration: Automated scheduling of resources to ensure high utilisation and zero wait times.

• 💻Fractional Computing: Allowing smaller startups to access "slices" of high-end GPUs without paying for full capacity.

• 🌎The Velocity Program: A 21-month strategic pathway for startups that provides milestone-based credits and architectural support to help them scale without the "bill shock" typically associated with global providers.

By focusing on high-growth sectors like BFSI, where they recently partnered with GreyLabs AI to transform voice analytics, Neysa is proving that AI can be both an engine of efficiency and a guardian of compliance. 💡

For the modern founder or investor, Neysa represents the specialised foundation upon which the next decade of Indian software will be built. 💎
