HYDERABAD: US-based data and AI player
Databricks
on Friday said it is
doubling down
on investment in India spurred by a
surge in demand
for data and
AI services
across Indian businesses.
Pointing out that it reported a growth of over 80% in the last two fiscal years in India, Databricks said in response to its increasing customer base in India it has introduced its infrastructure on Google Cloud’s India (Mumbai) region.
The move is aimed at catering to the rising need for its data
intelligence platform

These strategic investments, coupled with the establishment of an R&D hub in Bangalore, showcase its strong commitment to the Indian market, Databricks said.
Pointing out that India has emerged as a key market for the company, Ed Lenta, SVP and general manager for Asia Pacific and Japan, Databricks, said this importance is not only reflected in the stepping up of investments but also in the recent expansion of the Indian go-to-market and R&D teams.
