- Builds on Q4 investment to further advance Gorilla's integrated AI infrastructure strategy across India, USA, and UAE

- Appoints Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital to the board of Astrikos

London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in AI-driven Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today announced that it has increased its strategic investment in Astrikos.AI ("Astrikos"), the Bengaluru, India-based, real-time infrastructure intelligence company, deepening the operational and commercial relationship between the two businesses.

This increased investment marks the next step in Gorilla's strategy to assemble a more complete AI infrastructure stack and builds on its initial strategic investment in Astrikos announced in December 2025. The original investment created the foundation for integrating Astrikos' infrastructure intelligence into Gorilla's broader platform, including its video intelligence stack, smart city architecture, and GPU-enabled data centre offerings.

This additional investment reflects continued progress across that integration and positions Gorilla to deepen its partnership with Astrikos. As AI deployments become larger, denser, and more operationally demanding, compute alone is no longer enough. The ability to monitor, predict, optimise, and secure critical infrastructure in real time is becoming essential.

Astrikos' platform delivers operational intelligence across critical infrastructure environments, integrating data from cooling, power, IT load, and physical systems into a unified decision layer. This enables operators to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, optimise capacity, and bring greater control to increasingly complex infrastructure estates.

This capability is directly aligned with Gorilla's broader strategy. The Company is building and enabling AI-ready infrastructure for governments and enterprises that require sovereignty, resilience, security, and control. By combining Gorilla's strengths in AI infrastructure, GPU deployments, intelligent video analytics, edge intelligence, and cybersecurity with Astrikos' infrastructure intelligence platform, the two companies are able to support a more complete lifecycle for modern AI deployments.

The expanded partnership is expected to accelerate joint commercial opportunities across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other strategic markets like the United States where demand for AI infrastructure is growing rapidly and where customers increasingly require private, secure, and operationally intelligent environments rather than generic commodity cloud models.

As a part of the investment, Gorilla has nominated Deborah Hudson, Senior Advisor to the CEO of Gorilla and incoming Managing Partner of Gorilla Tech Capital, to serve as a Non-Executive Director on the board of Astrikos. Her appointment reflects Gorilla's intent to provide active strategic oversight and closer governance alignment as the partnership expands. The appointment of Ms. Hudson will be finalized pending board approval.

Jay Chandan, Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology Group, said: "Our increased investment in Astrikos reflects exactly where the market is going and where Gorilla intends to win. India is one of the most important AI infrastructure growth markets in the world. India's data centre industry is already sizeable and growing fast, with capacity expected to increase significantly over the next several years. At the same time, India's AI market has been projected to reach around $17 billion by 2027, underpinned by strong government support and accelerating enterprise adoption.

"Our investment in Astrikos is a strategic force multiplier for Gorilla. Astrikos' data centre intelligence capabilities add a highly valuable layer to our broader AI infrastructure strategy, strengthening what we can offer across compute, security, and operational intelligence.

"We are building for scale in India and across the wider region. We are investing in the infrastructure, the platforms, and the strategic partnerships that allow us to serve this growth properly. Astrikos fits squarely into that vision, and Deborah Hudson's appointment to the board reflects the seriousness of our commitment and the depth of alignment between our two businesses."

Chinmay Hegde, Chief Executive Officer of Astrikos.AI, said: "Gorilla's increased investment is a strong endorsement of our platform, our vision, and the scale of the opportunity ahead of us. As critical infrastructure becomes more complex and more central to AI deployments, real-time operational intelligence is becoming indispensable. Customers do not just need infrastructure to exist, they need it to perform, adapt, and operate with precision.

"This investment gives Astrikos the ability to accelerate that vision and expand our reach across key markets, including the United States, India, and the broader Middle East. Gorilla brings global infrastructure capability, strong execution in government and enterprise environments, and a clear strategic commitment to next generation AI infrastructure.

"Together, we are building a differentiated offering that combines infrastructure, security, and operational intelligence in a way that is relevant to customers looking for intelligent, secure, and scalable platforms for growth."
