N-able to expand India workforce by 50% by 2026, opens Bengaluru AI hub

The Bengaluru facility, which currently employs over 100 people, will focus on developing advanced defensive AI capabilities, including automated threat detection, monitoring, and faster response times. Pagliuca emphasized that the expansion prioritizes long-term capability building with the right talent over short-term headcount growth.

This expansion aligns with a broader trend of growth in India's GCC sector, which is projected to employ 2.36 million people by 2026, with AI and cybersecurity being key demand drivers. N-able is competing for highly sought-after talent in these fields by offering competitive compensation and opportunities for global innovation and career development.

The company's move comes as cybercriminals increasingly utilize generative AI for sophisticated attacks, making N-able's focus on developing AI-powered defenses critical for its global operations.
