The company is being recognized for enabling secure, scalable, and AI-ready cloud environments that support India’s rapidly expanding digital ecosystem and AI innovation landscape.

SAN ANTONIO, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Yotta Data Services has received the 2026 Indian Company of the Year Recognition in the AI infrastructure industry for its outstanding achievements in sovereign cloud infrastructure, AI-ready compute environments, and customer-centric innovation. This recognition highlights Yotta Data Services’ leadership in enabling secure, compliant, and high-performance AI infrastructure that supports India’s evolving digital transformation and artificial intelligence ecosystem.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Yotta Data Services excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with emerging market requirements while executing them with efficiency, scale, and operational discipline. “Yotta has emerged as a cornerstone of India’s sovereign AI ecosystem by closing critical infrastructure gaps with purpose-built, AI-ready data centers that deliver security, performance, and regulatory alignment at scale,” said Harsh Singh, Associate at Frost & Sullivan.

Guided by a long-term growth strategy focused on sovereign AI infrastructure, localized cloud ecosystems, and regional expansion, Yotta Data Services has positioned itself as a foundational force supporting India’s AI ambitions. Under the leadership of co-founder, MD and CEO Sunil Gupta, the company continues to strengthen India’s role in the global AI landscape by building infrastructure designed to meet domestic and regional AI compute requirements. Its strategic investments in hyperscale data centers, sovereign cloud capabilities, and AI-focused platforms have enabled the company to scale effectively while addressing demand for compliant and secure AI infrastructure.

Innovation remains central to Yotta Data Services’ approach. Its AI-ready infrastructure portfolio, including Shakti Cloud (GPU infrastructure at scale) and Shakti Studio (AI Token factory), addresses the need for scalable GPU-enabled cloud platforms and sovereign AI development environments. Built on NVIDIA-certified hardware stacks, high-speed InfiniBand networks, and advanced AI software frameworks, the company’s platforms simplify AI deployment and accelerate model training, inference, and enterprise AI adoption. Yotta currently has 1,024 L40s and 8,192 H100 GPUs live at its NM1 Data Center in Navi Mumbai, and plans to scale to more than 80,000 next-generation GPUs by FY27–28, including B200 and B300 GPUs. 

“Frost & Sullivan’s recognition is a testament to Yotta’s mission of building the foundational infrastructure that will power India’s AI future. As AI reshapes economies and societies, we are focused on creating sovereign, world-class AI cloud platforms that give India greater technological self-reliance, global competitiveness, and the ability to innovate at scale. This honour belongs to our customers, partners, and teams who share our vision of positioning India among the world’s leading AI and digital infrastructure hubs.” said Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, MD & CEO, Yotta Data Services.

Yotta Data Services’ commitment to operational excellence strengthens its position in the market. Its Tier IV-certified Navi Mumbai facility and large-scale Greater Noida data center campus have been purpose-built to support dense AI workloads with high power efficiency, scalability, and low-latency performance. Yotta is set to deploy 30000 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 Ultra GPUs at its 60 MW D2 data center at Greater Noida hyperscale campus, which is scalable to 250 MW, and 36000 GB300/ Vera Rubin GPUs at its 75 MW NM2 data centre at Navi Mumbai hyperscale campus which is scalable to 2 GW. The company’s locally governed infrastructure model enables organizations to maintain data residency in India while ensuring predictable pricing and reduced dependence on international hyperscalers. By operating its own substations, integrating renewable energy sources, and implementing closed-loop cooling systems, Yotta continues to demonstrate a future-focused approach to sustainable AI infrastructure.

The company’s customer-first philosophy has also played a pivotal role in its market leadership. Organizations across government and enterprise sectors rely on Yotta’s sovereign AI infrastructure to support mission-critical deployments and advanced AI workloads. The company’s ability to execute seamless migrations, maintain high service availability, and provide responsive 24×7 support has strengthened customer trust and reinforced its reputation for reliability in complex deployment environments.

Frost & Sullivan commends Yotta Data Services for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, infrastructure innovation, and market responsiveness. The company’s focus on sovereign cloud services, AI infrastructure scalability, and customer enablement is shaping the future of the AI infrastructure industry in India while supporting the country’s long-term digital sovereignty objectives.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in competitive positioning, customer impact, and market leadership.

Pave and Levels.fyi Announce Strategic Alliance, Bringing Levels.fyi Data Into Pave Agent and Market Pricing

Published

on

By

Compensation decisions draw on more data than ever, and that data is scattered across surveys, spreadsheets, and tools. Pave has built the place where it all comes together: one platform, powered by real-time intelligence and open to every source compensation teams trust. Today’s strategic alliance with Levels.fyi is the latest step in that effort.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pave, the Agentic Compensation Management platform, today announced a strategic alliance with Levels.fyi, a compensation data platform that shows what work pays by company, level, location, and skill.

The alliance builds on Pave’s partnerships with The Croner Company, Korn Ferry, WTW, and others and reflects a continuing commitment: making it easier for customers to bring the critical data behind their pay decisions into one place. Pave will continue to expand the network of data partners available on the platform, so that compensation teams don’t have to stitch together sources by hand or choose between the ones they trust.

Through this strategic alliance, Pave customers can now access Levels.fyi data inside Pave Agent as well as Pave’s Market Pricing tool to compare pay for a role across sources, benchmark against real-time Market Data, and price jobs and build competitive pay ranges. Customers can analyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data and any other data sources they choose to use. Pave Agent can use Levels.fyi data as a reference input to deliver compensation intelligence, so teams can ask a question in plain language and see the answer across Levels.fyi, their other sources, and real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies in Pave’s dataset.

Levels.fyi adds a distinct lens on the market. Its data is contributed directly by the people earning it and backed by proof documents such as offer letters, W-2s, and pay stubs. Alongside survey and real-time views, it shows compensation teams what talent is actually earning.

With Levels.fyi data in Pave, mutual clients can:

Ask Pave Agent to compare pay for a role across Levels.fyi, WTW, Korn Ferry, Croner, and Pave’s real-time Market Data, all within one platformSee self-reported Levels.fyi data next to survey and real-time benchmarks to understand where the market views agree and where they divergeAnalyze Levels.fyi data alongside their own compensation data to see where their pay standsGive every analyst on the comp team, not just the person who manages the survey license, direct access to Levels.fyi data in their daily workflow

“Compensation decisions are only as good as the data behind them, and no single source tells the whole story,” said Matt Schulman, CEO of Pave. “Our goal is for Pave to be the central source for the data compensation teams use to make decisions, with real-time intelligence from 9,000-plus companies as the foundation and every source a client trusts available alongside it. Croner, Korn Ferry, WTW, and now Levels.fyi are steps in that effort, and we will keep adding more. Clients shouldn’t have to choose between the data sources they trust. They should have them all in one place.”

“Effective compensation benchmarking starts with a simple question, ‘How do we compare with the companies we actually compete against?'” said Zuhayeer Musa, co-founder of Levels.fyi. “Our data gives customers a current, company-level view of the market, backed by real proof such as offer letters and pay stubs. Bringing that perspective into Pave means teams can build the peer groups that matter to them, focus on a single competitor, and combine Levels.fyi’s rich intelligence with the rest of their stack. Pave has set the standard for connected compensation, and we’re excited to keep helping our mutual customers make faster, more confident pay decisions.”

Levels.fyi data is now available to mutual customers through Pave Agent and Pave’s Market Pricing tool. Existing customers can contact their account teams for access and availability details.

Worksmith Appoints Sonu Panda as Chief Revenue Officer, Enhancing Its Executive Team

Published

By

Panda reunites with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart as the company completes the first phase of integrating Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Worksmith today announced the appointment of Sonu Panda as Chief Revenue Officer. Panda will lead Worksmith’s revenue organization across its two products, Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

Panda reunites with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart as the company completes the first phase of integrating Worksmith Workplace and Worksmith Workforce.

Panda has spent his career building and leading revenue teams in software. At Callidus Software, he served as Vice President of Sales across North America, EMEA, and Latin America, and later led on-On-Demand sales as the company moved from traditional enterprise software to a public SaaS business with more than $100 million in revenue. Most recently, he was CEO of Prescriptive Data, a SaaS company applying connected devices, data, and machine learning to commercial buildings, where he oversaw sales, business development, marketing, customer success, and engineering.

The role also reunites Panda with Worksmith Founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart. The two co-founded H.Bloom, a B2B marketplace, where Panda served as Chief Operating Officer and built the company’s operating model.

“We are excited to have Sonu join the Worksmith team full-time as our first-ever CRO. Sonu’s successful career in building world-class sales teams and the decade he has spent on the Worksmith board make him uniquely positioned to lead our next phase of growth, as we strive to deliver the operating system for retail to more customers,” said Bryan Burkhart, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Worksmith.

Panda joins with momentum on both sides of the business. Worksmith Workforce, formerly Progress Retail, has more than doubled its revenue since Worksmith acquired the company in June 2025, alongside a rapid pace of product development.

The two products have also completed the first phase of their integration. Clients that use both now reach retail operations, facilities maintenance, and workforce management through a single login.

“Having witnessed Worksmith’s steady growth first-hand, I’m thrilled to join Worksmith as Chief Revenue Officer for the next phase of Worksmith’s expansion and beyond,” said Sonu Panda, Chief Revenue Officer at Worksmith.

Panda’s appointment follows the promotion of Ray Riley, former CEO of Progress Retail, to Chief Strategy Officer. Panda takes over group revenue responsibilities from Riley.

ABOUT WORKSMITH

Worksmith is a retail operations platform for multi-location brands, spanning two products. Worksmith Workplace covers facilities maintenance, vendor management, and store development, including new builds, remodels, and project management. Worksmith Workforce covers training and development, task execution, store audits, ticketing, employee communications, and AI-powered associate support.
