Nasuni, a leading enterprise file data platform provider, has announced a major expansion of its Research & Development Center in Hyderabad to accelerate innovation in unified file data management, protection, and activation. The expansion was formally inaugurated on February 24, 2026, by Shri Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications and Industries & Commerce, Government of Telangana, alongside Sam King, Chief Executive Officer of Nasuni.
The Hyderabad facility will work closely with Nasuni’s teams in the United States and Ireland to advance the company’s platform evolution, focusing on file data indexing, AI integration, and resilient infrastructure design. The center has been established in partnership with Summit Consulting and ANSR, recognized leaders in building and scaling Global Capability Centers. This collaboration brings structured capability design, talent strategy, and operational scaling expertise to support the expansion.
Shri Sanjay Kumar emphasized Telangana’s growing role as a global technology hub, stating that Hyderabad has evolved into a location where global companies anchor core product engineering rather than peripheral support functions. He noted that Nasuni’s decision to deepen its R&D presence reflects confidence in the state’s ability to support advanced data infrastructure and enterprise technology development.
The expanded Hyderabad teams will focus on critical areas including semantic indexing and contextual modeling of file data, version lineage tracking and metadata intelligence, predictive analytics and AI-driven operations, zero trust-aligned access enforcement, and cyber resilience with advanced ransomware detection. These capabilities are essential as enterprises increasingly deploy AI agents to retrieve, analyze, and generate file content from production file systems.
Sam King, CEO of Nasuni, addressed the fundamental challenge facing enterprise AI adoption, stating that organizations cannot scale AI on fragmented file infrastructure. He explained that enterprise AI is limited not by models but by file data readiness, emphasizing that the Hyderabad expansion strengthens the engineering backbone behind the unified file data platform and accelerates delivery of secure, resilient, and analytics-ready file data services to enterprises worldwide.
Nick Burling, Chief Product Officer at Nasuni, highlighted that AI initiatives depend on access to trusted, well-governed file data. He explained that the company’s roadmap centers on extending the value of Nasuni’s unique architecture to activate enterprise unstructured data for teams and AI systems. The Hyderabad engineering teams are contributing directly to critical investments focused on surfacing operational context captured in enterprise file data and enabling secure, cost-effective access for customers and their AI initiatives.
Nasuni currently supports more than 800 enterprise customers across over 70 countries and manages billions of files across thousands of locations worldwide. The platform integrates storage, backup, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, and analytics through a single hybrid cloud solution with centralized management. The company’s patented File Data Platform is built on a foundation that fuses cloud object storage and enterprise file services, enabling unlimited scale while preserving immutable file system versions.
Peddareddappa G (GPR), Senior Director and India Site Leader at Nasuni, noted that Hyderabad provides access to one of the strongest and deepest technology talent ecosystems globally. He stated that teams in Hyderabad are deeply integrated into core platform development, and the collaboration across the United States, Ireland, and India allows the company to innovate continuously and respond quickly to evolving enterprise requirements. Nasuni maintains a 98% customer satisfaction rating and serves global enterprises across industries including manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, media, energy, and the public sector.
