Ex-OYO exec's AI data center startup Nava eyes $200M at $750M valuation
Nava, an AI-focused data center startup founded by a former OYO executive, is in discussions to raise $200 million from Greenoaks. The round would value the company at approximately $750 million, positioning it as one of India’s largest in the AI and data center space, behind only Sarvam AI’s $300 million raise.

“This funding round underscores the rapid scaling of India’s AI infrastructure sector, where capital is increasingly flowing to startups building foundational data capabilities.”
What it means
Nava’s valuation reflects growing investor confidence in AI-driven data centers as critical enablers for enterprise adoption. While the round would trail Sarvam AI’s, it signals a shift toward larger bets on infrastructure rather than application-layer AI startups. The outcome may set a benchmark for similar ventures, though regulatory and execution risks remain for such high-stakes deals.
