Snowflake to set up R&D centre in India, expand operations in Pune

As part of its expansion, Snowflake is planning to extend its operations in India — particularly in Pune — and is preparing to set up a dedicated research and development facility in the country.

Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy stated,

“In India, our priorities are three-fold. One, we have a really excellent team that is primarily centred in Pune, and they do a lot of our enterprise technology work. They also are key parts of our overall finance systems, and we are actively thinking about having an R&D centre in Pune as well. We have a very decent presence with digital natives in India, and we will continue to lean into that.”

Ramaswamy also mentioned that Snowflake is collaborating with Indian companies for technology innovation and integration.

“We are having a set of conversations with somewhat more traditional companies in India that can also benefit from a modern data platform like Snowflake.”

Additionally, Snowflake is investing in the development of a data-proficient talent pool in India to support and advance the growing AI ecosystem.
