CrowdStrike bolsters Indian cybersecurity landscape with new Pune office

CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD), a global leader in cybersecurity, has significantly expanded its operations in India with the inauguration of a new, state-of-the-art office in Pune. This 52,000 square foot facility nearly doubles the capacity of CrowdStrike’s previous establishments in the region, reinforcing the company’s dedication to protecting organizations in India and beyond.

With its headquarters in the United States, CrowdStrike is renowned for its rapid growth and innovative approaches in the cybersecurity domain. The company’s commitment to India began in 2018 with the opening of the CrowdStrike Innovation and Development Center in Pune. This center has served as a regional hub for talent, innovation, and customer engagement, playing a pivotal role in the company’s global operations.

Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike, emphasized the strategic importance of India in the company’s global strategy, stating, “India plays a critical role in the growth and development of our global operations and is a leading reason why we established our Innovation and Development Center in the heart of Pune. Our footprint here gives us access to incredible talent, and provides a central location to engage with customers from across the region.” Sentonas further highlighted the instrumental role of the development team in India in delivering the innovations and platform capabilities essential for stopping breaches, affirming the company’s ongoing investment in key regions like India.

The expansion of the Pune office is a testament to CrowdStrike’s global commitment to halting cyber breaches and enhancing cybersecurity measures for organizations worldwide. This move comes alongside the opening of a new Asian hub in Singapore and the company’s efforts to achieve certifications by global governments and industry associations. These efforts are aimed at broadening access and accelerating the adoption of the AI-native CrowdStrike Falcon® XDR platform. The combination of the Falcon platform, elite incident response services, and esteemed cyber threat intelligence team positions CrowdStrike as one of the most trusted names in global cybersecurity.

This development not only underscores CrowdStrike’s investment in global operations but also highlights its mission to extend state-of-the-art cybersecurity protections to organizations around the globe. With the expansion in Pune, CrowdStrike continues to set the gold standard in cybersecurity, aiming to make its Falcon platform accessible to customers worldwide and to drive forward the innovation necessary to combat contemporary cyber threats.
