SoftBank-backed data security firm Cohesity has outlined plans to invest $1 billion in India over the next five years, coinciding with the inauguration of the company’s new Bengaluru campus. The expansion strengthens the company’s engineering and support capabilities in the country, according to CEO and President Sanjay Poonen.
The newly launched Bengaluru facility will serve as a major center for engineering, support functions, and customer operations. The investment aligns with the company’s long-term growth strategy following its integration with Veritas’ data protection business, acquired in a $3 billion transaction last year.
Poonen said India continues to play a critical role in Cohesity’s global footprint, supported by strong tech talent and the country’s fast-growing digital economy. While he did not disclose India’s exact revenue contribution, he stated that the market ranks among the company’s top ten globally. Cohesity currently records an annual recurring revenue of $1.6 billion worldwide.
India’s strategic location also supports Cohesity’s customer base across neighbouring regions, including the Middle East and Singapore. The firm works with more than 600 Indian enterprise customers, contributing to its global roster of 13,000 clients. Nearly 2,200 employees are now part of its India workforce, spread across functions.
The company’s client portfolio includes leading technology, automotive, and enterprise players such as BMW, Infosys, and Salesforce. Cohesity sees strong growth opportunities across BFSI, healthcare, telecom, and the public sector, driven by accelerating adoption of modern data security and AI-ready infrastructure.
With the new Bengaluru campus operational, Cohesity aims to scale engineering innovation, enhance customer support, and deepen its presence in India’s expanding digital infrastructure landscape. The latest investment underscores India’s importance as a preferred destination for global technology firms building long-term capability centers.
