MUMBAI, Feb 10 (The CONNECT) - Pure Storage that delivers storage-as-a-service in a multi-cloud world announced plans to expand its Research & Development (R&D) capabilities in India. The company also announced the appointment of Ajeya Motaganahalli as Managing Director for India R&D.
Two of Pure’s core values are innovation and a customer-first mind-set. The new India R&D site will contribute significantly to Pure’s global innovation engine, and further accelerate time-to-market.

Ajeya is a well-regarded leader in the India engineering community with deep expertise in enterprise storage, having served in leadership roles at several other multinational technology companies.

“This is an exciting development for Pure Storage. With our roots in innovation and India’s incredible pool of engineering talent, we will mutually benefit from each other,” said Ajay Singh, Chief Product Officer, Pure Storage. “With an experienced leader like Ajeya, I’m confident India can be an engine of innovation growth for Pure Storage and we can in turn contribute to the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.”
Pure Storage formally entered the Indian market in 2020 and demand for its solutions have been strong as organizations in the country look to digitalize their operations and solve their data management challenges.
