A carefully developed creative concept formed the foundation of the event. The approach was to merge Indian tradition with global corporate identity, ensuring every moment felt intentional, tasteful and aligned with the brand.

The formal ribbon cutting marked the official inauguration of the data centre. This was followed by meaningful religious rituals including a Havan Puja and the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, ensuring the opening was deeply rooted in local spiritual practice which is an essential element of significant openings in India.
