1 Massive & Inevitable Market Demand

The global economy is being rebuilt on Artificial Intelligence, a transformation projected to add over $15 trillion to global GDP by 2030. This revolution runs on one critical resource: immense, specialized computing power.

  • Direct Play on AI Growth: AI models and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads are driving unprecedented demand for data center capacity, with major tech firms investing hundreds of billions annually in AI infrastructure. Setu is positioned to directly capture this non-discretionary spending.
  • Solving the Power Density Problem: Traditional data centers are not equipped for the energy needs of modern GPUs. Setu is purpose-built for high-density AI workloads (30-80 kW per rack), addressing a critical bottleneck in the AI ecosystem and commanding premium value.

2 Superior Unit Economics Through Green Innovation

Our commitment to sustainability is not just an ethical stance; it is a core driver of profitability and competitive advantage.

  • Lower Operational Costs: By leveraging advanced liquid cooling, Setu targets an ultra-low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of ≤1.15. This dramatically reduces energy consumption—the single largest operational cost—leading to stronger, more resilient operating margins.
  • Higher Revenue Density: Liquid cooling enables more computing power per square foot, maximizing the revenue-generating potential of the physical asset and accelerating the path to profitability.
  • Future-Proofed Asset: As global regulations and enterprise mandates increasingly favor carbon-neutral partners, Setu’s green credentials make it a preferred choice for top-tier clients, reducing commercial risk and enhancing long-term asset value.

3 The "Mauritius Advantage": A Geostrategic & Regulatory Moat

Setu's location is a strategic asset that provides a unique, defensible market position.

  • A Premier Digital Bridge: Located at the nexus of Africa, Asia, and Europe, Mauritius serves as a low-latency hub with robust connectivity via multiple submarine cables (including METISS, SAFE, LION, and T3). This provides diverse, resilient routes to key global markets.
  • De-Risked Operating Environment: Mauritius is ranked 1st in Africa for Ease of Doing Business and is recognized for its political stability and pro-investment policies. This provides a secure and predictable environment for a large-scale capital project.
  • Sovereign & Compliant Hub: With growing demand for data sovereignty, Setu offers a strategic location for companies needing to comply with regional data residency regulations while serving multiple continents.

4 Disciplined Execution & Experienced Leadership

We mitigate risk through a combination of seasoned leadership and a transparent, phased approach to delivery.

  • Proven Governance: The founding team brings over 28 years of combined experience in finance, data science, and business management, ensuring disciplined capital deployment and rigorous project oversight.
  • Staged Investment Milestones: Capital is deployed against clear, verifiable milestones—from permitting and procurement to commissioning and commercial operations. This provides investors with transparency and control.
  • Clear Path to Exit: By building a high-value, strategic asset in a high-growth sector, we are creating multiple exit opportunities through acquisition by larger infrastructure funds, strategic tech players, or a public listing.
