N-able Opens Bengaluru GCC, Plans 50% Workforce Expansion by 2026

N-able has strengthened its presence in India with the launch of a new Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, reinforcing the country’s growing importance in the global cybersecurity and technology ecosystem. The US-based software company plans to increase its India workforce by at least 50% by the end of 2026 as it scales operations and invests in next-generation technologies.

The Bengaluru centre currently employs more than 100 professionals and is expected to become a strategic hub for product development, cybersecurity innovation, cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence initiatives. According to CEO John Pagliuca, the decision to establish the GCC in India was primarily driven by the availability of highly skilled talent in AI and cybersecurity rather than cost considerations.

As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, N-able plans to leverage its Bengaluru team to build advanced defensive AI capabilities, including automated threat detection, intelligent monitoring systems, and faster incident response mechanisms. The centre will play a significant role in supporting the company’s global innovation agenda and enhancing its cybersecurity offerings for more than 500,000 customers worldwide.

The expansion comes amid rapid growth in India’s GCC ecosystem, which continues to attract multinational companies looking for specialized expertise in AI, cloud computing, engineering, and cybersecurity. Bengaluru remains one of the most sought-after destinations for global capability centres due to its deep technology talent pool and innovation ecosystem.

N-able’s investment reflects the broader shift in how multinational organizations view India-based GCCs—not merely as operational support centres but as strategic hubs for innovation, product development, and business transformation. With plans to significantly expand hiring over the next 18 months, the company is positioning its Bengaluru centre as a key contributor to its long-term global growth strategy.
