Sharad Sanghi
Sharad Sanghi is one of India’s defining tech operators—an engineer-turned-entrepreneur who helped lay the foundations of the country’s modern internet infrastructure. After starting his career as a software developer, he founded Netmagic Solutions in 1998 and scaled it into India’s leading managed hosting and cloud services company. He later served as CEO of NTT Ltd. India, integrating global capabilities with local needs, and today spearheads Neysa Networks, where he is focused on building AI-native cloud platforms. Across these roles, he has mentored high-performance teams and shaped industry standards through leadership positions in CII and ASSOCHAM.
From Netmagic to NTT: Building India’s Digital Backbone
Netmagic began as an audacious bet: that India’s digital economy would need robust, reliable, and professionally managed infrastructure. Under Sanghi’s leadership, the company became synonymous with enterprise-grade data centers, managed hosting, and cloud services—an indispensable backbone for banks, media houses, e-commerce platforms, and emerging startups alike. His subsequent tenure at NTT Ltd. India broadened that mission, bringing global best practices to Indian enterprises while maintaining a clear focus on performance, reliability, and security.
Neysa Networks: An AI-First Cloud for a New Era
At Neysa Networks, Sanghi is channeling decades of infrastructure expertise into an AI-native cloud platform. Neysa’s approach is to unify compute, storage, networking, orchestration, and governance so organizations can deploy AI quickly, securely, and at scale. The goal is straightforward: remove friction between experimentation and production so teams can move from proof-of-concept to value in weeks, not quarters.
AI NeoCloud: Build, Test, and Scale at High Velocity
AI NeoCloud is Neysa’s engine for rapid AI application development. It pairs AI-native infrastructure with orchestration tools and adoption frameworks, enabling teams to stand up environments in minutes, iterate fast, and scale workloads confidently. The platform is designed for cost efficiency and high performance, helping enterprises balance experimentation with production-grade reliability and controls.
Neysa AI Velocity Program: A 21-Month Lift-Off for Startups
For emerging AI startups, Neysa’s 21-month AI Velocity Program offers a structured journey that blends GPU-powered infrastructure with expert guidance and milestone-based benefits. The program is engineered to help founders reduce burn, de-risk scaling, and hit product-market fit faster—without compromising on performance or security. Access to seasoned practitioners and a clear progression model ensures that engineering focus stays on product differentiation, not plumbing.
Velocis and Open-Weight Models: Control, Transparency, and Data Sovereignty
Neysa provides full control over AI environments by hosting open-weight models—such as GPT-OSS, Llama, and Mistral—on its Velocis platform. This approach supports secure, transparent, and predictable deployments entirely within India, aligning with stringent compliance needs and delivering clear cost visibility. For enterprises, it means they can fine-tune, evaluate, and operate models with tighter governance and fewer black boxes.
A Full-Stack, Cloud-Native Platform for Real-World AI
Neysa’s full-stack platform accelerates every phase of the AI lifecycle. Teams get instant environments, access to high-performance GPUs, and integrated lifecycle management tools—from data prep and model training to evaluation, deployment, and monitoring. The result is a shorter path from idea to production, whether the use case is customer experience, risk management, predictive maintenance, or content generation.
Why This Matters
India’s next wave of digital growth will be shaped by how quickly organizations can operationalize AI. Sanghi’s track record—first with Netmagic, then with NTT, and now with Neysa—underscores a consistent thesis: world-class outcomes depend on world-class infrastructure and disciplined execution. By unifying AI-native cloud capabilities with pragmatic adoption frameworks, Neysa aims to make AI deployments both faster and more trustworthy.
From pioneering internet infrastructure to steering industry dialogue through CII and ASSOCHAM, Sharad Sanghi has been a steady force behind India’s digital evolution. With Neysa Networks, he’s betting that the future belongs to builders who can marry compute with clarity—and turn AI from a buzzword into reliable business impact.
