Databricks Appoints Anil Bhasin as Country Manager, Expands Presence in India
IT firm Databricks announced the appointment of Anil Bhasin as the country manager for India last week. Bhasin will be responsible for leading the company’s go-to-market functions and driving lakehouse adoption for enterprises and digital-native customers across the region. The tech industry veteran brings over 30 years of experience to the role and will lead one of the company’s fastest-growing regions in the Asia-Pacific market. He will work closely with Ed Lenta, senior vice-president and general manager of Databricks Asia Pacific. Bhasin joins the firm most recently from UiPath where he served as the managing director and VP of the company’s India and South Asia business. Prior to this, he served as the regional vice-president at Palo Alto Networks for over seven years, playing an instrumental role in building the company’s presence in the India and SAARC region. Bhasin said, “Data plays a critical role in fueling digital transformation for businesses across every industry, and Databricks is pioneering the data architecture of the future with its lakehouse platform. I am thrilled to be joining team Databricks during such a pivotal time in the company’s journey and look forward to collaborating with our customers and partners to bring the lakehouse vision to life in India.” In order to support Databricks’ local customer base and growing team, the company in a press release confirmed its recent expansion to a new office space in Bengaluru’s Embassy TechVillage. Moreover, the number of Databricks employees in India has grown nearly 8x over the last two fiscal years, with more than 150% growth YoY. The India team is a significant part of the company’s Asia-Pacific footprint and would continue to rapidly hire in India for a variety of customer-facing and technical roles. Headquartered in San Francisco, Databricks is an AI company which caters to more than 7,000 organizations worldwide — including Condé Nast, Comcast, and over 50% of the Fortune 500 — which rely on the Databricks Lakehouse Platform to unify their data and analytics.
