Technology company N-able is strengthening its presence in India by establishing operations in Bengaluru, underscoring the country’s growing importance as a hub for global capability centres (GCCs) and specialised technology talent.
The expansion comes at a time when India’s GCC ecosystem is witnessing rapid growth. Reportedly, the country’s GCC workforce is expected to reach 2.36 million employees by the end of 2026, with demand increasingly concentrated in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity.
N-able said its decision to build a team in Bengaluru was driven primarily by access to highly skilled professionals rather than cost considerations. The company views the city as a strategic location for developing long-term capabilities and strengthening its global innovation efforts.
The move is focused on creating a sustainable operation supported by strong local talent and career-development opportunities. Rather than pursuing aggressive hiring targets, the emphasis is on attracting professionals with expertise that aligns with the company’s future growth plans.
The move highlights the intensifying competition for specialised talent within India’s technology landscape. Bengaluru remains the country’s leading technology destination, but organisations across sectors are increasingly competing for professionals skilled in areas such as AI engineering, applied machine learning, cloud security and threat intelligence.
To address these challenges, N-able plans to offer competitive compensation packages while positioning its India operations as a centre for meaningful global work and career advancement.
Cybersecurity is expected to be a major focus area for the Bengaluru team. As cybercriminals increasingly leverage generative AI to launch sophisticated and automated attacks, organisations are investing heavily in advanced defence mechanisms. N-able’s India-based workforce is anticipated to contribute to the development of AI-powered cybersecurity capabilities, including automated threat detection, continuous monitoring and faster incident response systems.
While the company has not disclosed its market share among Indian small and medium-sized businesses or outlined specific revenue targets for the country, the investment signals confidence in India’s evolving role as a strategic destination for technology innovation.
Multinational companies are increasingly viewing Indian GCCs not merely as support centres, but as hubs for research, product development and the creation of cutting-edge digital solutions for global markets.
