By MYBRANDBOOK
Modern Analytics Cloud company, ThoughtSpot has announced plans to invest $150M across its operations in India over the next five years. Additionally, ThoughtSpot has announced the opening of a new office in Trivandrum, the company’s third R&D center in India. The new investment will fuel continued product innovation for the Modern Analytics Cloud, empowering every company to build their business on data.
ThoughtSpot was built as the experience layer for this new stack, empowering anyone to tap into the full value of these innovations through intuitive, interactive Live Analytics. Any team member, from store clerk to business analyst, to executive chair, can leverage search and AI to self-serve insights and take action that drives their business forward.
In the last year, ThoughtSpot’s annual recurring revenue from its cloud offerings grew by 102%. ThoughtSpot’s R&D teams in India, composed of fully integrated teams that span engineering to design to operations, have been instrumental in delivering this growth. With the new investment in India, this momentum will continue to grow by growing headcount by more than 30% across offices in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Trivandrum in the next year alone, while simultaneously expanding beyond traditional R&D with partner engineering, working closely with software integrators (SIs) and other tech partners to build joint solutions and value for customers.
The investments ThoughtSpot is making in India over the next five years is part of the company’s long term strategy in the market and a natural evolution of activity to date. Founded by Ajeet Singh and Amit Prakash, both Indian immigrants who knew the promise and power of talent in India, ThoughtSpot has established a presence in the last five years including –
· Launching its first R&D center in Bangalore in 2017 responsible for product building from design to development
· Expanding with $25M USD investment two years later to support continued product innovation and talent recruitment.
· The acquisition of Diyotta in 2021, adding 50% more headcount in India, including an expanded footprint in Hyderabad.
