Anaplan, the leading scenario planning and analysis platform designed to optimise decision-making in today’s complex business environment, announced the opening of a new data centre in India. This expansion supports Anaplan’s previously announced $500 million investment designed to accelerate innovation while expanding the company’s global presence.
“In response to the increasing demand for data-driven decision-making, organisations across diverse sectors—including finance, retail, manufacturing, and technology—are seeking scalable, high-performance solutions to improve agility and resilience. Anaplan’s addition of our new data centre not only ensures data residency and compliance with local regulations, but it underscores the growing importance of the Indian market,” said Amit Bagga, Managing Director, APAC for Anaplan.
Key benefits of Anaplan’s new India data centre include:
Enhanced performance and low latency: Significantly reduced latency for Indian customers will enable faster processing and real-time insights for critical planning activities, such as financial forecasting, supply chain optimisation, and workforce management.
Drive digital transformation: By leveraging advanced data management, analytics, and local data residency, Indian businesses can accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, staying ahead in a competitive market.
Data sovereignty and compliance: The new local data centre ensures customer data remains within India, addressing the growing emphasis on data localisation under regulations such as the Personal Data Protection Bill, and providing enhanced assurance for businesses in regulated industries like Financial Services and Government sectors.
Scaling for growth: All Anaplan data centres are designed to support the exponential growth of Anaplan's user base in India, facilitating seamless handling of large-scale, multi-dimensional planning models powered by Anaplan’s technology.
“We have been leveraging Anaplan for the past couple of years and have steadily enhanced our Integrated Business Planning (IBP) capability,” said Arun Bhanumurthy, Executive Vice President- Strategy and Transformation, Deepak Fertilisers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd.
“Anaplan India is at the cusp of significant growth across industries. As we help our customers navigate increasingly complex supply chains and business operations, it becomes important to offer them the option of local data hosting through our India data centre. With this launch, we are directly addressing a key ask from our global banking and financial services customers, enabling them to partner with us more confidently and compliantly in India,” said Sanket Deodhar, Country Head for India at Anaplan.
