Six practices, one team, every stage from land to a leased, running facility, in India and across the Middle East. Start where your project is today; we'll be there for what comes next.
01 / Site & Power
Where to build, and whether the grid will show up when you need it.
Land is easy to find. Power isn't. This practice decides where and how big, secures the power, water and permits, and ends in a go / no-go before any land money is committed.

Land development & asset value creationPackaging landowners' sites of 5 acres and up into data-centre-ready offers that investors compete for.Investor-ready land package
Power is the longest lead item on every project, so this work starts in month one and runs alongside design.
02 / Design & Technical
What the building can carry, and what it should be built for.
Design decides the tenant. 1Watt sets the brief and owns design quality on your behalf; licensed architects and engineers produce the drawings.

Investor reportingSteering committee, budget versus actual, schedule, risks and lender reporting.Monthly investor dashboard
1Watt doesn't build. Vetted contractors do. We introduce them, help you contract with them directly and oversee their work. They are paid by you, and we take no commission from them, which keeps our advice independent.
04 / Investment & Transactions
Capital, diligence and deals that hold up in an investment committee.
No bank lends and no hyperscaler signs without a credible model, structure and risk cover. We build all three, and check the thesis behind them: the tenants, the power and the market the model assumes.
ServiceWhat we deliver · Key output

05 / GTM Studio
Megawatts don't sell themselves. We do.
A new data centre has no customers, no proof and no name. The studio starts about a year before go-live, so capacity is pre-leased by the time the halls are ready, and stays on after the build.
