Now that Glean Technologies, the enterprise AI platform, has launched its first office in India, in Bengaluru, it is gearing to expand its workforce from the current 150 to 450 by next year.
The firm, based in Palo Alto, California, will make the Bengaluru office the centre of operations for India, with all essential functions housed here, including finance, sales, research and development (R&D), as well as business operations.
The fact that Glean Technologies is looking at tripling its headcount by 2025 is proof of its annual growth.
The company is establishing itself as a day 0 employer at the top five Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in the country, having already hired 12 students from there.
The new office, spread over 26,000 sq. ft. in the heart of Bengaluru, features a dedicated cafeteria, a games room and collaboration spaces. It is designed to accommodate the company’s growing workforce in the coming years and fosters an environment conducive to innovation and growth.
The Bengaluru innovation site will play a significant role in enabling Glean’s customers to deploy GenAI assistants and applications at scale, globally. It will help empower Indian enterprises through advanced AI technologies. The inauguration of the facility saw the presence of Garvit Juniwal (R&D – site lead, product lead), Vivek S (R&D – AI lead), as well as Tapas Satapathy (head of people) along with partners, customers and employees of Glean Technologies.
Arvind Jain, founder and CEO, Glean Technologies, believes that the “Bengaluru office will enable us to closely collaborate with Indian enterprises, helping them unlock the full potential of their knowledge through our state-of-the-art AI platform. Additionally, this office will serve as a crucial hub for our global operations, driving a significant portion of our international projects. In fact, it will be our biggest investment outside of the US.”
Currently valued at over $2.2B, the company has so far raised more than $350 million from top investors including General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed and others. Glean’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) is growing at an impressive rate of 300 per cent year over year.
