    About Vultr

    Vultr is a privately held cloud infrastructure provider founded in 2014 and headquartered in Florida.

    It offers virtual machines, bare metal servers, Kubernetes, storage and GPU cloud across more than 30 data centre regions worldwide, serving developers, AI start-ups and enterprises. In India it has operated cloud regions for several years and promotes local infrastructure for data residency and latency needs. In October 2026 it announced plans for a 20 MW AI supercluster in Chennai built on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, as part of a wider collaboration with AMD, with further AMD capacity planned for 2027; it has not given a GPU count or an operational date. AIM Research places Vultr as a Challenger in the Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure Providers (India) market. As a foreign-owned provider, its sovereign positioning relies on in-country hosting rather than Indian ownership, which some regulated buyers will weigh against domestic rivals.
