GPU: World’s First Diamond-Cooled NVIDIA GPU Servers Advancing Sovereign AI Capabilities
NxtGen deployed the world’s first NVIDIA H200 GPU servers integrated with Akash Systems’ patented Diamond Cooling® technology. This milestone positions NxtGen at the forefront of next-generation AI infrastructure, delivering higher compute density, improved energy efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership for enterprise AI workloads.
“At NxtGen, we are architecting India’s most advanced sovereign AI infrastructure,” said A.S. Rajgopal, MD & CEO, NxtGen. “The deployment of Diamond-Cooled NVIDIA H200 servers strengthens our AI backbone by increasing usable compute per watt and per rack. This supports structural efficiency. It allows us to deliver higher performance to customers while lowering long-term infrastructure costs.”
Features
- ~5°C lower GPU hotspot temperature – Enables sustained peak silicon performance and improved thermal stability under heavy AI training and inference loads.
- ~15% improvement in FLOPs per Watt – Higher compute efficiency per unit of power consumed, directly improving energy economics of AI workloads.
- ~15% increase in usable compute output- Eliminates thermal throttling, translating into materially higher effective GPU productivity per server.
- Throttle-free operation at ambient temperatures up to 50°C (122°F) – Designed for high-temperature environments without performance degradation, critical for large-scale AI deployments in India and other warm-climate regions.
By integrating Diamond Cooling® into its GPU clusters, NxtGen is advancing three critical priorities:
- Higher AI Compute Density – Increased token output and sustained peak GPU utilization
- Energy Efficiency at Scale – Improved PUE and lower power draw per workload
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – Enhanced capital productivity per server

Marketing: ‘Groth’ an AI-Powered Marketing Intelligence Platform built to deliver Answers, Not Just Data
Tonic Worldwide launched Groth, a full-funnel marketing intelligence platform engineered to solve the single biggest problem in modern marketing: too many dashboards delivering data, and none delivering decisions.
Chetan Asher, Founder & CEO, Tonic Worldwide said, “Modern growth marketers are drowning in data but starving for answers. Groth is built to change that by answering the simplest yet most critical questions marketers face about their category, creatives, content, and performance spend. Built on 100% intelligence and 0% guesswork, Groth unifies AI’s ability to find patterns with deep, strategic human insight to add context. I’m confident that Groth will help growth marketers and media managers not just see the data, but know exactly what to do with it.”
Features
- Integrates four interconnected yet independent modules each designed to solve a specific growth challenge independently combining AI speed with human expertise
- Groth.Signals runs on a proprietary scanning algorithm built from two decades of strategy work by Tonic Worldwide team. Category shifts, competitor activities and emerging trends enriched with strategic context by category analysts to shape industry moves and new product development.
- Groth.Discover maps brand visibility across all consumer touchpoints (SEO, GEO and AEO) using a proprietary visibility mapping framework refined through 20+ years of organic discovery work by search strategists at Tonic Worldwide. It generates ready-to-use content outlines, hooks, and keyword strategies informed by real performance patterns, not generic best practices.
- Groth.Creative evaluates performance ads through a structured, deterministic scoring engine, analyzing hooks, CTAs, formats, and messaging, then generates improved copy and builds A/B testing frameworks. Creative strategists layer in the category context and brand voice that pure automation consistently misses.
- Groth.Pulse solves the ‘source of truth’ dilemma through server-side tracking architecture that unifies paid, organic, and offline data into a single attribution view. AI surfaces anomalies, budget inefficiencies, and attribution discrepancies in real time and experienced performance marketers then add the business context, and strategic framing that turn raw signals into budget shift recommendations a brand can actually trust.
