At Techno Digital, we believe youth are the bedrock of sustainable innovation. Guided by the vision of Ajay Khajuria, Head – Human Resources, over 60% of our workforce aged under 30, driving green tech, digital agility, and inclusive leadership. We are not here just to prepare for the future but to build it boldly and consistently, from the ground up.
India is ascending as one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies, and at the heart of this transformation are its youth. Today, 94.3% of Indians aged 15–29 have used the internet in the past three months, with rural usage at 92.7% and urban usage at 95.7%.
At Techno Digital, we are continually inspired by what India’s young, tech-empowered generation is accomplishing in real-time. Youth empowerment is our central strategy that focuses on the foundational aspect of digitization. Their creativity, mindset, and command over digital technology make them not just contributors, but true catalysts for change, driving both technological innovation and our sustainability agenda.
While cloud, AI, and cybersecurity often dominate conversations, we balance the narrative by highlighting our core strength as a developer of state-of-the-art data centers rooted in deep electro-mechanical and civil engineering expertise. These capabilities form the invisible yet essential backbone of India’s digital ecosystem.
With over 60% of our workforce under the age of 30, we are more focused on talent growth and professional upskilling, contributing significantly towards India’s digital and sustainable future. These young professionals are the driving force behind our AI-native digital infrastructure and green initiatives and the precision engineering of our power systems, cooling solutions, safety frameworks, and structural innovations. Whether on-site at a greenfield build or fine-tuning the details of an edge deployment, they are builders as much as they are operators.
Bharat’s Digital Future is the foundation that we lay with conviction, purpose, and most importantly youth led initiatives.
The Techno Ethos: Youth as Architects of Tomorrow
Our ethos goes beyond providing tools to foster growth. We believe in creating a ‘launchpad’ for young thinkers, firmly believing that innovation flourishes when youth have real agency, autonomy, and strategic support.
This generation brings a rare combination of agility, empathy, and long-term thinking, blending innovation with intention. At Techno Digital, we ensure they are equipped with relevant resources, platforms, and mentorship to lead with impact. Through campus hiring drives, lateral recruitment platforms, structured apprenticeships, and immersive onboarding, our HR-led talent strategy directly feeds into our data center build programs.
This approach strengthens India’s ability to connect, collaborate, and compete globally.
Youth & Sustainability: A Synergistic Relationship
Sustainability today is a core value that aligns with the way young professionals work. They are highly vigilant and action-oriented when it comes to taking initiatives to address climate change, advocating for clean energy, instilling a sense of responsibility that influences everyone in the ecosystem.
This was evident at a recent workshop held in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, where government leaders, including the state’s IT & Education Minister, came together to chart a roadmap for ‘green skills’ development. This initiative aimed to transform the state into a solar and wind energy talent hub, creating 2 million jobs over five years and integrating tribal youth, women-led self-help groups, and micro-entrepreneurs into India’s growing renewable energy workforce.
Similarly, our green data center initiatives are prime examples of youth-led impact. We are investing in next-generation infrastructure with energy-efficient cooling, advanced power systems, and AI integration conceptualized and delivered by youth-led teams. From improving energy efficiency to ensuring safety and quality benchmarks, their contributions are shaping sustainable facilities ready for the next era of digital demand.
It is this alignment between youthful ingenuity and Techno’s mission that powers our growth. By harnessing the convictions and capabilities of India’s young digital natives, we accelerate the creation of a sustainable, future-ready digital ecosystem.
Empowerment in Action: Turning Potential into Purpose
At Techno Digital, an actionable empowerment is the core of our talent strategy. We carefully design every touchpoint, from onboarding to advanced leadership programs, to help young professionals become creators and not just consumers, of technology.
- Digital Skills Programs: Learning platforms and project-based modules build expertise in cloud, AI, cybersecurity, sustainable computing, and the engineering disciplines vital to advanced data centers.
- Immersive Onboarding: From day one, new team members are given the opportunity to experience real-time challenges working with cloud, edge computing, and AI not just as observers but as core collaborators.
- Leadership Launchpad: Our “Launchpad” program accelerates high-potential youth into cross-functional roles, fostering adaptability and opening new pathways to strategic leadership.
- Upskilling Support: We are planning to build sustainable partnerships with the world’s leading digital educators and ensure our young talent is prepared for tomorrow’s tech landscape, including emerging domains like green computing and AI-native cloud solutions.
Real Journeys, Real Impact: From the Diary of Our CEO
Every youth story begins with ambition. But Ankit Saraiya, Director & CEO of Techno Digital’s story is one of execution, transformation, and purpose at scale. It embodies the spirit of nation-building and innovation that Techno Digital stands for.
As one of the youngest CEOs in the data center infrastructure sector, Ankit transitioned from building power infrastructure to reimagining its digital evolution. A single question inspired his journey: How can India’s digital backbone serve every corner of the nation?
This question became the driving force behind Techno Digital’s mission to build sustainable infrastructure that enables easy data access even in the most remote areas.
Under his leadership, we have created platforms where young can ideate, experiment, and deliver breakthroughs in areas like AI-optimized infrastructure, edge data centers reaching tier-2 and tier-3 cities, and greenfield innovations in energy efficiency and sustainability. The organization is working dedicatedly towards ESG as a strategic differentiator, integrating sustainability, efficiency, and positive community impact at the core of its operations.
Today, Techno Digital has become a national force for digital equity, building over 250 MW of data center capacity, launching the largest network of edge data centers across the country, and enabling access to over 560 million citizens. From solving India-specific latency gaps to treating ESG as a design principle, Ankit drives innovation and anchors it in inclusion, access, and purpose.
Listening Louder: A Call for A Sustainable Digital Future
The digital decade ahead demands more than innovation. It demands intent and purpose. Our commitment to the industry extends beyond internal culture, which is a call to our peers, partners, and a wider digital ecosystem.
Nation-building in the 21st century is inseparable from youth empowerment and digital sustainability. Whether it’s a young engineer installing energy-efficient cooling systems in a server hall or refining AI-powered security protocols in a lab, their work fuels both business growth and national self-reliance through in-house data storage and processing.
As we pace forward, India’s youth is growing as one of the major navigators of the digital journey. At Techno Digital, we nurture, amplify, and champion this generational wave because empowering youth is not just about operating technology; it is about building it, engineering it, and sustaining it for decades to come.
