SonicWall opens new Pune office, plans 400 engineering posts in India

Global cyber security company SonicWall announced on October 22, 2026 that it is opening a new office in Pune. The announcement was made from Pune and Bengaluru. The company said the move is part of its strategy of long-term investment and expansion in India.

The new office will strengthen the company's engineering and development work. It will also widen the company's access to India's technology talent and support product innovation for customers worldwide.

According to the company, India has a large pool of talent, a spreading digital economy and changing cyber security needs. For this reason, India is an important centre for SonicWall's research, engineering and next-generation technology initiatives.

The Pune office will support the company's established R&D centre in Bengaluru. By connecting local experts with teams building advanced cyber security solutions, the company wants to speed up its global product roadmap.

Rajneesh Mishra, SonicWall's Chief Development Officer, said, "India is at the heart of SonicWall's growth and innovation strategy. Our Pune office will help us build world-class talent, expand development capacity and create cyber security solutions suited to customers' changing needs. We hope to build a long-term presence here and contribute to India's technology ecosystem."

Debashish Mukherjee, Vice President (Sales) for APJ at SonicWall, said, "SonicWall expects to add 400 engineering positions in AI, cloud technology, cyber security research and next-generation platform development. This will create one of its largest global development centres and make India a major contributor to the company's worldwide product strategy."

The enlarged team will focus on security challenges arising from artificial intelligence, cloud adoption and the continually expanding digital environment.

The company will promote collaboration and continuous learning so that specialised expertise can be built and ideas born in India can be turned into products and capabilities for global markets.

Anurag Kahol, EVP and GM of India Operations at SonicWall, said, "SMBs are an important part of our customer base, and Pune's thriving technology and industrial ecosystem makes this region especially important. As local businesses become more connected, we are committed to helping them strengthen cyber resilience and grow securely."
