New Delhi, Dec. 4 -- California-headquartered Cohesity has opened a new regional office in Bengaluru. It is expected to position the Bengaluru facility as a global hub for innovation, R&D, customer engagement, and talent-driven growth for Cohesity.
"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," said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president, Cohesity.
To be sure, beyond Bengaluru, Cohesity also has an office in Pune, which was inaugurated in 2020. The team here is focused on building software-defined data management solutions for managing and protecting customer data. The team is also working on mass data fragmentation.
The company said that India is now a primary driver of Cohesity's product development, customer engagement, and global competitive advantage. Cohesity is also scaling up hiring locally across engineering, product, design, operations, and customer-facing roles, with a special emphasis on early-career talent.
In separate news, the data security and management company named Greg Statton as Chief Technology Officer for the Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ) region in September. The role is newly created and is designed to strengthen the company's focus on technology strategy and innovation in the region.
Statton is leading Cohesity's technical vision across APJ while continuing his global responsibilities for Gaia, the company's AI solution. He will report to Sunil Moolchandani, Cohesity's Chief Strategy Officer. The appointment follows the integration of Cohesity with Veritas' enterprise data protection business, and comes as the company places a stronger emphasis on growth in Japan and other regional markets.
