Enterprise AI platform Glean Technologies has opened its inaugural office in Bengaluru, India. The office, covering approximately 26,000 square feet, will function as the central hub for its operations in India, including finance, sales, research and development, and business operations.

Founded by Arvind Jain, Vishwanath T R, Tony Gentilcore, and Piyush Prahladka in 2019, the startup offers enterprise search and knowledge management solutions. 

“We are thrilled to establish our presence in India, especially in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of the country, and a market with immense potential and a steady demand for advanced AI solutions. Our Bengaluru office will enable us to closely collaborate with Indian enterprises, helping them unlock the full potential of their knowledge through our state-of-the-art AI platform,” said Arvind Jain, Founder and CEO at Glean Technologies. 

“Additionally, this office will serve as a crucial hub for our global operations, driving a significant portion of our international projects. In fact, it will be our biggest investment outside of the US,” he added.

Glean Technologies connects companies’ applications and databases, enabling them to search, access, and manage their data and information across various platforms.

The Palo Alto, California-based firm has raised $350 million from top General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partnersand others and is currently valued at over $2.2 billion. 

The company plans to expand its workforce from 150 to over 450 by next year. It aims to position itself as an employer for the top five IITs in the country—Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Madras, and Kharagpur, and has hired around 12 students since December last year. 

Moreover, Glean Technologies has developed conversational AI assistants and utilised advanced language models to create personalised summaries and responses by leveraging the company’s internal information systems. 

The company said that it is actively growing its customer base in the APAC region through partnerships with prominent enterprise firms, including a Southeast Asian commercial bank, a global electronics and entertainment firm, and a global automotive manufacturer.
