Glean's launch in Bengaluru underlines the company's commitment to empower Indian enterprises through advanced AI technology. The company is aggressively expanding its client base in the Asia Pacific region and has forged partnerships with leading enterprises. This includes a top commercial bank in Southeast Asia, a leading ride-sharing platform in the region, a global electronics and entertainment company, and a global automobile manufacturer. In a short span of time, the company has grown multi-fold and now boasts of representing almost all its enterprise functions in India.
The company plans to triple its workforce from 150 to more than 450 by next year. The company says it has established itself as a day one employer for the top five Indian Institutes of Technology. The company has already hired 12 top students for December 2023 and plans to continue expanding its hiring efforts.
The company has raised over $350 million from top venture capital firms such as General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, and Lightspeed and is currently valued at $2.2 billion. Additionally, Glean's annual recurring revenue (ARR) is growing at a staggering 300% year-over-year rate.
The company's new office is approximately 26,000 square feet and features a dedicated cafeteria, game room and collaboration space. The space was selected to accommodate the company's growing employee base over the next few years and foster an environment conducive to innovation and growth.
