Singapore startup AirTrunk bags $851m funding for expansion

The company aims to fund their Australian data centres and expand into Asia.

Singaporean startup AirTrunk racked up $851m (US$ 620m) in its latest funding round to be used for the major expansion of its hyperscale data centres in Australia and the Asia Pacific.

According to AirTrunk founder and CEO Robin Khuda, the funds were backed by Deutsche Bank AG and is a new senior debt financing with Goldman Sachs and TSSP as existing shareholders.

Khuda mentioned that the expansion resulted from high customer demands for hyperscale data centre solutions.

"Together with the new capital recently contributed by our shareholders, the new funds put us in a strong position to meet the growing demand from large cloud, content, and enterprise customers in the Asia-Pacific region," he added.

In February 2017, AirTrunk received a A$150m six-year term loan from ING Groep NV and Natixis SA. During the same year, the company was also able to bag $400m in a funding round by Goldman Sachs and TPG Capital.

“In the next three years I wouldn’t be surprised if we made an additional A$3-5b in investments,” added Khuda.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
