Vectra AI, a cybersecurity firm specializing in AI-powered threat detection, announced the opening of a new office in Bangalore, India, marking a significant step in its global expansion strategy. The move strengthens the company’s presence in the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region and reflects its commitment to investing in innovation, talent, and regional growth.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Vectra AI is known for its use of artificial intelligence to detect and respond to sophisticated cyber threats across modern digital networks. The company first expanded internationally with offices in EMEA and APJ in 2018 and 2019, respectively. With this latest development, it is doubling down on its ambition to scale its technical and operational capabilities globally.
The new Bangalore office will focus on recruiting across multiple domains including engineering, data science, marketing, finance, customer support, and operations. Currently, Vectra AI employs around 50 people across India, and the company plans to expand this number as it ramps up hiring in the region. The Bangalore hub will play a key role in Vectra AI’s product development and innovation pipeline, leveraging the city’s deep pool of technical talent.
Silicon Valley of India
Vectra AI CEO and founder Hitesh Sheth highlighted India’s strong reputation as a global technology center. “India has one of the most vibrant and skilled technology workforces in the world, so expanding to Bangalore is a logical next step in our growth journey,” said Mr. Sheth. “This new office will enable us to tap into top-tier talent, expand our innovation capabilities, and accelerate our mission to transform cybersecurity through AI-driven solutions.”
Often referred to as the “Silicon Valley of India,” Bangalore hosts a dynamic ecosystem of universities, research institutions, and tech enterprises. Vectra AI’s new location within India’s Centre of Excellence is intended to foster collaboration and support the company’s push for cutting-edge AI cybersecurity solutions. A formal launch event is scheduled for October to mark the opening.
