Cohesity Enhances Its Strategic Commitment to India with the Launch of a New Bangalore Facility

Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, today announced the opening of a new regional office in Bangalore. This announcement elevates the Bangalore facility to a truly global hub for innovation, R&D, customer engagement, and talent-driven growth for Cohesity. The investment, along with recent expansions to the facility in Pune, further underlines India’s pivotal role in shaping the future of the company’s solutions and global strategy. It also marks a defining milestone in Cohesity’s continued expansion of global AI-driven data security market leadership. This announcement comes as the company reaches the one-year milestone of the successful integration with Veritas’ data protection business.

 

“The opening of our new Bangalore office marks a profound milestone for Cohesity — one that reflects our belief in India as a global engine of innovation, resilience, and growth,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president, Cohesity, during his in-person address to the employees during the opening ceremony. “We are investing even more in expanding the talented teams here, and they are building the future of data security and empowering our customers to build cutting-edge, AI-driven security and resilience capabilities. In a global business environment of increasing threats from malicious cyber actors, it is especially pleasing for me that my hometown of Bangalore is playing such a critical role for Cohesity in ensuring that everything from patients in hospitals, critical water and power delivery, and sensitive personal financial records are all protected - in India and all around the world!”

 

 

The new Bangalore facility represents an increase of more than double the capacity and office space size compared to the previous Cohesity offices in the city. Its design prioritises a more hybrid, collaborative way of working, with Wellness rooms, expanded meeting and interaction spaces, and significant investment in sustainable materials throughout. As a result, it has achieved LEED Gold certification, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainability, employee well-being, and responsible growth.

 

 

India has long been home to a strong and loyal customer base for Cohesity and is part of a 13,000+ global customer community that represents 70% of the Global 500. Over the past year, this local and international customer community has expanded significantly. Four of the top five Indian banks, and three of the four largest telecommunications companies in the country, trust Cohesity to deliver critical data security requirements, as well as market-leading global organisations, including Infosys, BMW, Delta Air Lines, Salesforce, FedEx, Toyota, and NEC. With recent Cohesity global research showing that three-quarters of organisations (76%) have experienced at least one material cyberattack that caused measurable financial, reputational, operational, or customer churn impacts, the requirement for advanced, modern data security solutions is growing significantly. As a result, enterprises are increasingly adopting the Cohesity Data Cloud, a comprehensive platform that protects, secures, and provides insights into enterprise data, regardless of its location. With Cohesity, customers can secure and protect their entire data estate with a single platform. These capabilities reduce the risk from threat actors and enable quicker response and recovery from destructive cyberattacks, while also providing valuable insights into their data.

 

Today’s announcement marks the next phase of evolution and innovation for these offerings, and the growing team and the new Bangalore facilities will be a critical accelerator in this progress.

 

India as a Global Engine for Talent Development, Innovation, and Advantage

 

India is now a primary driver of Cohesity’s product development, customer engagement, and global competitive advantage. Bangalore sits at the centre of this transformation.

 

The company is scaling rapidly across engineering, product, design, operations, and customer-facing roles, with a special emphasis on early-career talent. Cohesity’s focus on hiring local talent reflects its long-term commitment to nurturing future global leaders within the company from India and building innovation from the ground up, benefiting customers both locally and globally.

 

Cohesity’s India teams exemplify the company’s spirit: innovative in approach, global in mindset, and passionate about delivering impact. Their insights and real-time feedback on emerging cybersecurity challenges in the Indian market directly inform Cohesity’s global product roadmap, ensuring that offerings built in India elevate the security posture of organisations everywhere.

 

“Bangalore has long been a cornerstone of Cohesity’s global talent strategy, and this new office reflects our continued investment in the people and innovation that are driving our next phase of growth,” said Rebecca Adams, Chief People Officer, Cohesity. “As we scale our global footprint, creating an environment where our teams can collaborate, grow, and do their best work is essential. We designed this space to support our growing workforce in India and to strengthen our culture, attract top talent, and reinforce Bangalore’s role as a global hub for engineering, customer success, and innovation.”
