CrashPlan, a global firm in data protection and cyber resilience, is scaling up its Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru as part of its broader expansion strategy in India. The move strengthens the company’s long-term vision of positioning India as a critical hub for innovation, engineering and product development.
The Bengaluru GCC builds upon CrashPlan’s 2024 acquisition of local cybersecurity firm Parablu, allowing the company to expand without setting up operations from the ground up. Since the acquisition, CrashPlan has doubled its India headcount to around 100 employees and plans to double that again in the coming year.
The centre will play a vital role in key functions such as engineering, sales, customer support, AI innovation, and research and development. This expansion reflects CrashPlan’s focus on becoming an AI-enabled data-protection company while tapping into Bengaluru’s strong technology talent base.
With global revenues nearing $100 million, CrashPlan aims to achieve double-digit growth over the next two years. Under CEO Dan Beer’s leadership, the company is strengthening its presence across India, the Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East to enhance its market share in secure data- management solutions.
The company also remains open to further acquisitions in India, focusing on businesses that complement its technology and growth goals. CrashPlan’s profitability-driven model aims to reinvest in talent, infrastructure, and innovation to sustain long-term expansion.
As Bengaluru emerges as the centrepiece of this growth plan, the GCC is expected to accelerate CrashPlan’s transformation into a next-generation data- protection enterprise built on AI, innovation and local expertise.
