CrashPlan, a leader in cyber-ready data resilience and governance, has announced a significant expansion across India and the UAE, marking a new phase in its global growth strategy. The company’s Global Capability Center (GCC) in Bengaluru is now set to become a key hub for product innovation, engineering excellence, and AI-driven development.

The announcement follows CEO Dan Beer’s first visit to Bengaluru since taking the helm in April 2025. During his trip, Beer met with key enterprise customers such as Fractal Analytics and Godrej Industries Group, along with strategic partner Etisalat in Dubai. These meetings highlighted CrashPlan’s commitment to deepening regional partnerships and advancing its data resilience strategy across India and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

India: The Innovation Engine

“India is more than a market for us—it’s an innovation engine that drives global collaboration across engineering, AI, and product teams,” said Beer. “Our Bengaluru GCC remains central to how we build, innovate, and deliver for customers worldwide. The talent here gives us a decisive edge as we expand into new workloads, platforms, and AI capabilities.”

The expansion builds on CrashPlan’s 2024 acquisition of Indian technology firm Parablu, which strengthened its engineering and R&D footprint. Since then, the company has doubled its headcount in India, reinforcing its ability to innovate at scale and respond to global customer demands faster.

Driving Growth Through AI and Regional Talent

CrashPlan’s Bengaluru GCC is now focused on four key objectives:

• Scaling engineering and support teams to accelerate R&D and product development.

• Expanding AI-powered features that let customers interact directly with backed-up data for faster recovery and compliance with laws such as India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).

• Maintaining double-digit revenue growth and reinvesting in new product innovation.

• Building a talent pipeline through partnerships with universities and competitive hiring in engineering, cybersecurity, and analytics.

This strategy reinforces India’s growing importance in CrashPlan’s global operations. The company’s long-standing customer relationships underscore this commitment — Fractal Analytics has increased its CrashPlan deployment by 30x since 2018, while Godrej Industries Group secures thousands of endpoints across its diverse business units using CrashPlan solutions.

Expanding Footprint in the UAE and Beyond

Beyond India, CrashPlan is also scaling its presence in the UAE, strengthening ties with enterprise customers and channel partners in Dubai. This expansion will help the company meet the rising demand for secure, compliant data resilience across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, regions that are rapidly digitizing their economies and tightening data protection standards.

A Pivotal Step in CrashPlan’s Global Growth Journey

CrashPlan’s focus on AI-led data recovery, regulatory compliance, and enterprise-grade resilience is redefining how organizations manage and protect their most critical assets. By blending global best practices with regional expertise, the company aims to lead the next phase of innovation in data protection and governance.

As CrashPlan deepens its operations in India and the UAE, the company is positioning itself as a strategic enabler of digital trust—helping businesses across sectors safeguard data integrity, accelerate recovery, and stay compliant in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
