Princeton Digital Group Receives Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Asia-Pacific Customer Value Leadership Recognition for Data Centre Infrastructure and Operations Excellence

Customer-centric infrastructure strategy, technology flexibility, operational discipline, and scalable growth strengthen PDG's position in Asia Pacific's rapidly evolving data centre landscape.

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Princeton Digital Group (PDG) has earned the 2026 Asia-Pacific Customer Value Leadership Recognition in the data centre infrastructure and operations industry for its strong performance in customer value creation, strategic execution, technology leverage, and operational excellence. The recognition highlights PDG's ability to align infrastructure investment with evolving hyperscale customer requirements while delivering consistent value across diverse APAC markets.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. PDG demonstrated strength across both, aligning its growth strategy with customer demand while executing with consistency across markets where infrastructure maturity, regulations, power availability, and construction ecosystems vary significantly.

"PDG has built customer value into the way it makes infrastructure, technology, and investment decisions. Its approach goes beyond delivering capacity; it demonstrates a clear understanding of how reliability, flexibility, and operational discipline influence the long-term infrastructure decisions of hyperscale customers," said Gautham Gnanajothi, Senior Vice President at Frost & Sullivan.

PDG's customer engagement model begins well before contracts are signed. The company works closely with customers on capacity planning, sharing market- and cluster-level visibility into planned supply while incorporating customers' forward demand outlook into investment priorities. Upstream engagement continues through execution, with PDG adapting technical requirements to APAC market conditions and identifying alternative technology and equipment options when necessary.

Technology adoption is similarly guided by customer requirements rather than novelty. PDG has focused on building reliable, repeatable scale across its markets, including supporting the transition of liquid cooling from limited deployments to broader, hyperscale requirements. Its willingness to evaluate additional OEM options has helped expand the pool of viable suppliers and support scalable deployment across a portfolio approaching two gigawatts of capacity at the time of assessment.

PDG approaches "AI-ready" infrastructure as an operational requirement rather than a marketing concept. Its engineering and commercial flexibility allows projects to accommodate changing cooling requirements during construction without allowing uncertainty to delay delivery. The customer-centric approach is complemented by investments in operational efficiency, where improvements such as power usage effectiveness can translate directly into customer value.

"What differentiates PDG is our ability to deliver at scale across some of Asia Pacific's most complex and fast-growing markets. We combine deep in-country expertise with the scale and capabilities of a pan-APAC business and strong institutional capital backing, which allows us to move with speed and execute consistently. For hyperscalers, that combination matters as they build increasingly large and sophisticated infrastructure across the region. This recognition is a testament to our teams and the long-term partnerships we have built with our global customers," said Varoon Raghavan, COO and Co-Founder at Princeton Digital Group.

PDG's growth strategy reflects its focus on scalable customer value. Its expansion across APAC markets that include Mumbai, Jakarta, Johor, and Tokyo demonstrates an approach that adapts to local market conditions while maintaining consistent enterprise standards. Empowered local teams work alongside a central platform structure, enabling PDG to respond to market-specific requirements while sharing capabilities and expertise across countries.

Frost & Sullivan commends Princeton Digital Group for its customer-centric strategy, disciplined execution, technology flexibility, and ability to scale data centre infrastructure while maintaining a consistent focus on customer outcomes. The company's approach demonstrates how operational efficiency, human capital, technology adoption, and growth can work together to create sustainable value in APAC's data centre infrastructure market.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Customer Value Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates excellence in creating measurable value for customers through effective strategy development and execution. The recognition highlights organizations that demonstrate customer-centric innovation, strategic responsiveness, and sustained excellence within their respective industries.
