CrashPlan to Double its Workforce with New Bengaluru GCC

CrashPlan, a global data protection and cyber resilience company, is expanding its global capability centre (GCC) in Bengaluru as part of its strategy to grow in India, according to the company’s press release. 

The move comes after CrashPlan acquired Bengaluru-based Parablu in 2024, providing a strong foundation for building the GCC without starting from scratch.

The company currently generates just under $100 million in global revenue and aims for double-digit growth over the next two years, with India playing a key role. Since April 2025, CEO Dan Beer has focused on growth in India, APAC, and the Middle East to position CrashPlan as a leading player in secure data management.

“We are focusing on India expansion and Bengaluru will be key to performing various important capability functions as we target a significant share of the Indian market. Bulk of our hiring will be in Bengaluru as we move towards becoming an AI-enabled data protection company,” Beer said.

CrashPlan has doubled its headcount in India since acquiring Parablu and now employs around 100 people. The company plans to double the workforce again as the Bengaluru GCC grows into a hub for engineering, sales, support, AI innovation, product development, and R&D.

Beer also noted the company is open to further acquisitions in India. “We are looking at companies that share close synergies with our business. Profitability will fuel our growth and allow us to reinvest in talent, infrastructure, and innovation,” he said.
Anand Prahlad, CTO of CrashPlan and founder of Parablu, highlighted the GCC’s focus on innovation. “We are building a high-impact GCC focused on AI, innovation, and R&D, and Bengaluru gives us access to a highly skilled talent pool. So, it is on us to attract and retain that talent,” Prahlad said.
