Builds on Q4 investment to further advance Gorilla's integrated AI infrastructure strategy across India, USA, and UAE
-
Appoints Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital to the board of Astrikos
London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2026) - Gorilla
Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a
global solution provider in AI-driven Security Intelligence, Network
Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced
that it has increased its strategic investment in Astrikos.AI
("Astrikos"), the Bengaluru, India-based, real-time infrastructure
intelligence company, deepening the operational and commercial
relationship between the two businesses.
This increased investment marks the next step in Gorilla's strategy to
assemble a more complete AI infrastructure stack and builds on its
initial strategic investment in Astrikos
announced in December 2025. The original investment created the
foundation for integrating Astrikos' infrastructure intelligence into
Gorilla's broader platform, including its video intelligence stack,
smart city architecture, and GPU-enabled data centre offerings.
This additional investment reflects continued progress across that
integration and positions Gorilla to deepen its partnership with
Astrikos. As AI deployments become larger, denser, and more
operationally demanding, compute alone is no longer enough. The ability
to monitor, predict, optimise, and secure critical infrastructure in
real time is becoming essential.
Astrikos' platform delivers operational intelligence across critical
infrastructure environments, integrating data from cooling, power, IT
load, and physical systems into a unified decision layer. This enables
operators to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, optimise capacity, and
bring greater control to increasingly complex infrastructure estates.
This capability is directly aligned with Gorilla's broader strategy. The
Company is building and enabling AI-ready infrastructure for
governments and enterprises that require sovereignty, resilience,
security, and control. By combining Gorilla's strengths in AI
infrastructure, GPU deployments, intelligent video analytics, edge
intelligence, and cybersecurity with Astrikos' infrastructure
intelligence platform, the two companies are able to support a more
complete lifecycle for modern AI deployments.
The expanded partnership is expected to accelerate joint commercial
opportunities across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other
strategic markets like the United States where demand for AI
infrastructure is growing rapidly and where customers increasingly
require private, secure, and operationally intelligent environments
rather than generic commodity cloud models.
As a part of the investment, Gorilla has nominated Deborah Hudson,
Senior Advisor to the CEO of Gorilla and incoming Managing Partner of
Gorilla Tech Capital, to serve as a Non-Executive Director on the board
of Astrikos. Her appointment reflects Gorilla's intent to provide active
strategic oversight and closer governance alignment as the partnership
expands. The appointment of Ms. Hudson will be finalized pending board
approval.
Jay Chandan, Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology Group, said:
"Our increased investment in Astrikos reflects exactly where the market
is going and where Gorilla intends to win. India is one of the most
important AI infrastructure growth markets in the world. India's data
centre industry is already sizeable and growing fast, with capacity
expected to increase significantly over the next several years. At the
same time, India's AI market has been projected to reach around $17
billion by 2027, underpinned by strong government support and
accelerating enterprise adoption.
"Our investment in Astrikos is a strategic force multiplier for Gorilla.
Astrikos' data centre intelligence capabilities add a highly valuable
layer to our broader AI infrastructure strategy, strengthening what we
can offer across compute, security, and operational intelligence.
"We are building for scale in India and across the wider region. We are
investing in the infrastructure, the platforms, and the strategic
partnerships that allow us to serve this growth properly. Astrikos fits
squarely into that vision, and Deborah Hudson's appointment to the board
reflects the seriousness of our commitment and the depth of alignment
between our two businesses."
Chinmay Hegde, Chief Executive Officer of Astrikos.AI, said: "Gorilla's
increased investment is a strong endorsement of our platform, our
vision, and the scale of the opportunity ahead of us. As critical
infrastructure becomes more complex and more central to AI deployments,
real-time operational intelligence is becoming indispensable. Customers
do not just need infrastructure to exist, they need it to perform,
adapt, and operate with precision.
"This investment gives Astrikos the ability to accelerate that vision
and expand our reach across key markets, including the United States,
India, and the broader Middle East. Gorilla brings global infrastructure
capability, strong execution in government and enterprise environments,
and a clear strategic commitment to next generation AI infrastructure.
"Together, we are building a differentiated offering that combines
infrastructure, security, and operational intelligence in a way that is
relevant to customers looking for intelligent, secure, and scalable
platforms for growth."
