Bridge Data Centres (BDC) is a Singapore-headquartered developer and operator of hyperscale data infrastructure backed by Bain Capital. It serves cloud-focused and AI-driven businesses with custom-built hyperscale facilities and colocation, emphasizing speed, scale, cost-effectiveness, and secure, reliable, sustainable operations. Its vision combines global reach with local expertise and end-to-end capabilities to create infrastructure that can grow with demand. Alongside Bain Capital’s data-centre platforms in Europe and the United States, BDC says it aims to support 3 gigawatts of capacity by 2030.
Since Bain Capital’s investment in 2017, BDC has expanded from Malaysia into India and Thailand. It established operations in Cyberjaya and Mumbai in 2018, added Kuala Lumpur and Johor facilities, and entered Bangkok in 2022 by acquiring an existing site. Further Johor growth made BDC Malaysia’s largest data-centre operator by live capacity in 2024. In March 2025, it secured US$2.8 billion in bank financing to accelerate development in Malaysia, Thailand, and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Its sustainability efforts include a clean-energy commitment at its Thailand site, greener construction, and an inaugural ESG report in 2024. The company has also received industry recognition for facility design, sustainability, infrastructure, and project financing, including awards for its MY06 facility.
