“Pune is unique because it has some of the best talent in the world, is home to a growing startup ecosystem and is one of the best places to live in this region,” said Anant Kale, CEO and co-founder of AppZen, in a release on 6 May 2019.

“With the right team in place, the AppZen office in Pune will be a hotbed of innovation, working in tandem with our teams in San Jose and Phoenix. We are looking forward to seeing the great things the company will do with this growing and talented group,” said Kale.

Munagekar brings over 20 years of experience in enterprise operations. He has held senior positions at global companies to lead their IT transformation journey.

Prior to joining AppZen, he was the Head of Global Delivery Systems at Fujitsu.

The new office is conveniently located at the Pavillion on Senapati Bapat Road, in the center of Pune a location that will help employees maintain a work-life balance while enjoying a vibrant professional and cultural community.

In addition to Pune, the company also expanded its San Jose headquarters and relocated its Arizona office to accommodate its rapid growth.
