Databricks Expands Presence in India with New Bengaluru Office

Databricks has opened a new office in Bengaluru as part of its expansion in India. This is part of the company’s strategy to tap into India’s rich software industry and abundant pool of world-class engineers. 

“This new centre allows us to be closer to key customers and partners in the region, enabling stronger collaboration and a better understanding of their unique needs,” said Sebastian Furtal, partner enablement & training lead for APJ at Databricks.

Databricks opened its first development centre in Bengaluru in May 2023, contributing to its research and development efforts. The company has been recruiting engineers and expanding its teams in India to support its customer base in the APAC region.

The company has seen over 80% annualised growth in India in the past two fiscal years, driven by demand for data and AI solutions across industries such as financial services, retail, and manufacturing.

It recently launched its infrastructure on Google Cloud’s India (Mumbai) region to meet rising demand for its Data Intelligence Platform. This, along with expanding its go-to-market and R&D teams, reinforces Databricks’ commitment to the Indian market.

Databricks’ clients in India include Air India, Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail, and Freshworks. These companies use the Databricks platform to improve business operations and drive innovation through predictive analytics and AI applications.

The company recently closed $15.3 billion in financing, valuing the company at $62 billion.
