September/October Updates - DC News Asia

Executive Search for Digital Infrastructure Investors - I take the time to do it properly.
All of your Digital Infrastructure goodness in one place - the Data Centre News Asia newsletter!
Firstly I must apologize, this is almost becoming a monthly instead of a weekly digest.
Q3 has been absolute chaos (in a good way), hopefully for all of you reading it, too.
A quick reminder to check out our spotify channel where all of the videos below are available for you to download and listen to in your own time.
Part of the reason we were so busy this week was our collaboration with Data Centre World Asia / Cloud Expo Asia - which you can read more about in the events section at the bottom.
The AirTrunk x BlackStone Mega Deal
Unfortunately we missed the standard news coverage of this deal because we were travelling - so we took a chance and reached out to the AirTrunk team and asked if they would like to speak with us and do a little more in depth on this story - since it really is the deal of the century for our industry in Asia.
Much to our surprise, Lise replied in the affirmative, and we were delighted to be joined by Prash , AirTrunk's Chief Financial and Commercial Officer, to discuss the rise (and rise) of the platform and what brought them to this point.
