Salesforce plans to increase employee strength in the country
By MYBRANDBOOK
Salesforce.com has a sharp focus on India, especially in the small and medium business (SMB) market. It has been aggressively hiring in the country, with 40% of the Indian workforce added in the last one year alone. Arundhati Bhattacharya, chief executive officer and chairperson, Salesforce India, spoke about the growth strategy for India, its focus on SMBs, and plans for workforce expansion.
The appointment of Sanket Atal as managing director (MD) for sites and Arun Prameshwaran as MD for sales and distribution is a testament to the success we are seeing in India. Over the last year, we have increased our headcount significantly to more than 4,000 employees across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
We also onboarded a significant number of new customers in the region, reinforcing the appetite for businesses to go digital and move to the cloud. In Q4FY21, the Asia-Pacific region reported a 25% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth, making it one of the fastest growing markets for Salesforce. Some of our key customers in India are CEAT, SpiceJet, Red Bus, KFC, Puma, Sodexo, Franklin Templeton, Pidilite, L&T Realty, and DMI Finance.
India is a strategic market and one of the fastest growth markets for Salesforce. As we step into the new financial year (Salesforce’s fiscal ends on 31 January), we will continue to strengthen our vision of working together as one India.
Our priority is to lead with relevance, integrity, and trust, guiding our customers through their digital transformation journeys. We want to ensure companies can truly take advantage of the digital imperative that every company is facing. Led by growth, we will focus on delivering customer-centric digital transformation, industry-specific solutions, innovation on the platform, and SMBs
