With nearly two decades of leadership experience leading critical infrastructure and technology teams, Rahul Dhar brings a deep understanding of managing and scaling mission-critical datacenter operations.

Vipin Jain, who has been instrumental in strengthening CtrlS’ operational and delivery excellence over the past two years, has successfully led datacenter operations, service delivery, large-scale fit-outs, and client programs. His leadership has ensured consistent execution, scalability, and high client satisfaction during the company's period of rapid growth.
In his new role, Vipin will spearhead the expansion of hyperscale services in India and international markets, deepen strategic engagement with global hyperscalers, and drive the timely execution of complex fit-out projects for both hyperscale and enterprise clients. He will also lead innovative initiatives focused on automation, sustainability, and green datacenters, ensuring that CtrlS continues to set industry benchmarks in reliability, efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Commenting on these leadership developments, Sridhar Pinnapureddy, Chairman & CEO, CtrlS Datacenters, said, “We are delighted to welcome Rahul to the CtrlS leadership team and to see Vipin transition into an elevated role.
