Workday Expands India Presence with Local Data Centre
Workday currently employs nearly 700 professionals across Pune and Mumbai and recently announced a Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Chennai.
Enterprise cloud leader Workday is deepening its commitment to India with a strategic expansion that includes launching its first local data centre, boosting sales operations, and scaling its partner ecosystem.

“Deploying Workday on a local AWS data centre will provide critical data residency capabilities for our Indian customers, while our expanded sales presence will allow us to better serve the growing market,” Simon Tate, President, Asia Pacific, said in a press release.
