Privately-held Indian developer RMZ Corp. is spending $1.7 billion in building two data centers as companies rush to develop infrastructure to capitalize on the artificial intelligence boom.

The data centers will help the Bengaluru-based real estate company diversify its business portfolio and gain from the soaring demand for data center services. “We wanted to reduce our dependencies on a single asset class and a single business,” RMZ Corp. Chairman Manoj Menda said in an interview.
