Beer scaling engineering and support teams in India
CrashPlan, a leader in cyber-ready data resilience and governance from Minneapolis, says its global growth strategy starts with the expansion of operations across India and the UAE led by Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru to accelerate product innovation for customers worldwide.
This announcement on 26 Oct follows CEO Dan Beer’s first visit to Bengaluru since assuming the role in April 2025. During his trip, Beer met with key enterprise customers, including Fractal Analytics and Godrej Industries Group, as well as strategic partner Etisalat in Dubai.
The visits reinforced CrashPlan’s commitment to deepening customer relationships, strengthening regional partnerships, and advancing its growth strategy across India and the broader GCC region http://meity.gov.in.
“India is more than a market for us—it’s an innovation engine that will drive extended collaboration across our engineering, AI, and product teams worldwide,” said Beer. “Our Bengaluru GCC will continue to be central to how we build, innovate, and deliver for our customers worldwide. The depth of talent here gives us a powerful advantage as we expand into new workloads, platforms, and AI-driven capabilities.”
One year after CrashPlan’s acquisition of Indian technology firm Parablu, the company has doubled its employee headcount in the region, a move that has strengthened the foundation for the GCC, which will drive towards the following corporate goals:
Scaling engineering and support teams in India to strengthen R&D velocity and product innovation, as well as inform future product direction, design, development, and testing;
Expanding AI-powered features to enable customers to interact directly with backed-up data, accelerating recovery while supporting compliance mandates such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA);
Maintaining double-digit revenue growth and operational profitability, enabling reinvestment in product and customer innovation;
Building a strong talent pipeline through university partnerships and competitive hiring across engineering, cybersecurity, and analytics.
The Bengaluru GCC reinforces CrashPlan’s long-term commitment to India’s technology ecosystem, with the region now serving as the operational base for some of CrashPlan’s most valuable customers. Fractal Analytics, a global AI and analytics leader, has expanded its CrashPlan deployment 30x since 2018, while Godrej Industries Group, one of India’s most respected conglomerates, now secures thousands of endpoints across its business units. These long-standing partnerships underscore CrashPlan’s role as a trusted data-resilience partner for India’s leading enterprises.
CrashPlan’s continued expansion across India, the UAE, and the wider Asia-Pacific region marks a pivotal step in the company’s global growth journey. With a strong base in Bengaluru and growing commercial operations in Dubai, CrashPlan is deepening its engagement with enterprise and channel partners to meet rising demand for secure, compliant data resilience solutions.
CrashPlan is focused on these high-growth market positions to accelerate customer acquisition, and deliver innovation that reflects the unique needs of businesses across APAC and the Middle East.
