The Concrete Cloud: Upalapadu Pratakota Shiva Prasad Reddy on Easy AI Profits
Stop Betting on Software. Start Pouring Concrete.
The world is obsessed with Artificial Intelligence chatbots. Venture capitalists are throwing billions at software developers hoping to find the next tech unicorn. But if you look at where the smart, institutional money is actually flowing in 2026, it isn't going into code. It is going into heavy infrastructure.
With L&T Vyoma committing a staggering ₹25,000 Crore for a green hyperscale campus in Dholera, the reality of the AI boom is clear: AI is not a software play; it is an industrial real estate and energy play.
Upalapadu Pratakota Shiva Prasad Reddy, Chairman of the Premidis Group, has been actively advising infrastructure developers to pivot. "The real, predictable wealth in AI will not be made by the coders," he notes. "It will be made by the industrialists pouring the concrete and supplying the power."
The 3 Pillars of "Easy" AI Infrastructure Profits
India's data center capacity is projected to hit 5 GW by 2035. To bridge this massive gap, tech giants desperately need traditional MSMEs and heavy industries to supply three critical components:
1. Green Gigawatts (The Energy Play) AI data centers consume the electricity of a small city. However, global tech giants have strict carbon-neutral mandates. "You cannot run a modern AI rack on coal," explains Upalapadu Pratakota Shiva Prasad Reddy. "If you own land, co-locating solar parks with high-capacity battery storage to supply these mega-campuses is the ultimate long-term annuity."
2. Liquid Cooling (The HVAC Pivot) Standard server rooms use air conditioning. AI servers generate so much heat that air cooling is physically obsolete. The entire industry is panic-buying Direct-to-Chip (D2C) liquid cooling systems. Traditional piping and HVAC manufacturers who pivot to supply leak-proof cooling manifolds are sitting on a multi-billion dollar secondary market.
3. Tier-2 Edge Data Centers (The Real Estate Arbitrage) Self-driving cars and industrial robotics cannot wait for data to travel from Mumbai to Nagpur. They need zero latency. Mr. Reddy points out that the next massive real estate boom will be "Edge Data Centers"—smaller 5 MW facilities built in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Conclusion: Selling the Shovels
During a gold rush, the people who make the easiest, most guaranteed profits are the ones selling the shovels. In the AI gold rush, the "shovels" are water, land, and uninterrupted green power.
Upalapadu Pratakota Shiva Prasad Reddy has laid out the exact execution strategy for traditional businesses to secure these lucrative vendor contracts.
