As AI data centers hit power limits, Peak XV backs Indian startup C2i to fix the bottleneck

C2i's solving a real problem nobody tweets about: power losses between grid and GPU in data centers. $15M gets them runway to test grid-to-GPU approaches that actually reduce waste and cost. This is the infrastructure bottleneck—not model parameters, not RAG tricks, but physical power delivery.

Peak XV's backing it because they know data center margins compress when you can't run more GPUs without a new nuclear plant. More of this, less "we fine-tuned GPT on domain knowledge."
