DataHub has teamed up with Hosted AI to launch an AI cloud offering in Nepal.
Dubbed YetiCloud.ai, the launch was announced in a July 5 LinkedIn post by DataHub.
The company wrote: "With YetiCloud.ai, our goal is to make GPU-powered AI infrastructure accessible to Nepali businesses, startups, developers, researchers, universities, public-sector organizations, and AI innovators. From model training and fine-tuning to inference, AI application hosting, and enterprise AI adoption, YetiCloud.ai is designed to support Nepal’s next generation of digital innovation."
Hosted AI is offering the orchestration and optimization platform for the neocloud, which features Nvidia GPUs.
At the time of writing, YetiCloud.ai's website is not accessible.
The platform is hosted in DataHub's facilities. DCD has contacted DataHub for further information about the neocloud offering.
Update -
DataHub's CEO Deepak Shrestha told DCD via email that the platform will be hosted across both of DataHub's data centers. Currently, it comprises 12 GPUs, but is expecting more in the coming months.
The hardware deployed comprises RTX6000 Pro Blackwell, H100, and L40S currently, and will be adding H200s as the requirement grows.
Original story resumes -
Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of Hosted AI, told DCD via email: "Nepal's grid is 95 percent hydro, and last year the country curtailed roughly $192 million worth of monsoon surplus because there was no buyer for it. YetiCloud.ai turns that wasted power into sovereign compute. For the first time, a bank in Kathmandu or a startup in Pokhara can rent serious GPUs hosted in Nepal, under Nepali law, paid in rupees, at a price that beats importing inference from Virginia or Singapore. Most countries will rent their AI infrastructure from someone else. Nepal just decided not to."
DataHub has operated data centers in Nepal since 2012. Its facilities are located in Kathmandu and Butwal.
Nepal as a whole has a very small data center market, with DataCenterMap listing just nine data centers in the country. In May 2026, Nepalese data center company Bichuten Data Vault announced plans for two data centers in the country with a combined capacity of 5MW.
