ABOUT GSCALEIndia's data center build-out is moving faster than the supply chain behind it. Operators assemble a different partner for every stage — design, equipment, construction, commissioning — and end up owning the gaps between them. That is where schedules slip, costs escalate, and accountability disappears.GScale's Design & Build business exists to close those gaps. We deliver greenfield and brownfield data centers on a turnkey basis: design, engineering and BIM; civil, structural and white space fit-out; power and electrical; mechanical and cooling; fire and life safety; ELV and BMS; through to staged L0–L7commissioning and handover. One partner, one schedule, one accountable outcome.The power, cooling and modular systems that go into these builds are manufactured in-house by GScale Energy — the reason we can hold a programme date rather than inherit someone else's lead time.GScale was founded by Brahma Reddy Kasu who has delivered more than 400 MW of data center capacity, and enabled over 1 GW in his previous role.GScale Energy is backed by Standard Engineering Technology Limited (NSE: SETL), an NSE-listed engineering group - one of the leading manufacturing and engineering firms in India.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++THE ROLEThe role is primarily based out of Hyderabad.Exceptional candidates based in Mumbai can also apply.You own the Design & Build order book across India's primary data center markets.This is a build-the-function role: you set the go-to-market approach, open senior relationships with India's top datacenter operators and their advisors, govern which pursuits GScale chases,
