Please give details about the new R&D center in India and how Commvault plans to expand its business in India.
Chris Powell responded:
We consider India a key opportunity for us globally, and as one of our fastest growing markets we are making investments to aggressively grow our business in this region.
Last year we opened a new R&D center in Bangalore, which will be the third globally alongside our corporate center in New Jersey and our existing center in Hyderabad which opened a decade ago. We recognize the incredible talent pool that India offers and the cultural focus on innovation, and as a result, we see this new center as instrumental in helping us accelerate the development of our software portfolio.
We have an exceptional leader for India and members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), Ramesh Mamgain, who joined about two years ago and has built out a strong team who is continuing to add new customers at a rapid pace. This year already we have added new sales managers, consultants and technical experts to the team to address increasing demand from customers across all regions including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. It’s an exciting time for Ramesh and his team, and we see a burgeoning opportunity to significantly expand in India and the SAARC countries over the next few years.
