FLAG’s Continued Growth and Investment in India

Carl Grivner, CEO of FLAG, had a recent conversation with The Economic Times and The Economic Times Government. The coverage marks another strong moment for FLAG as we continue to accelerate our investment and growth journey in India.

The articles explore FLAG’s continued investment in India’s subsea and terrestrial network infrastructure along with our future expansion plans. These plans include positioning India, home to our largest workforce, as a pivotal hub connecting westwards to the Middle East and eastwards to the rest of Asia. We are further diversifying our network with additional investments in both terrestrial and subsea paths, linking India to Europe via the Middle East and across the Pacific to the US.

These developments are supported by strong demand in India, driven by the growing consumer base and the hyperscaler-led data centre boom. Our refinancing of $340 million earlier this year has strengthened our position to fund these expansions, including subsea cable network upgrades, edge data centres and cable landing stations.

Thank you to our teams and partners in India for helping drive this growth.
