Nasuni Expands Hyderabad R&D to Build AI-Ready File Data Infrastructure

Hyderabad, India – February 25, 2026: Nasuni, a leader in enterprise file data infrastructure for teams and the AI systems that support them, has announced the expansion of its Hyderabad Research & Development (R&D) Center. The move is aimed at accelerating innovation in unified file data management, protection, and activation as enterprises increasingly modernize their data environments to support AI initiatives.

The expanded Hyderabad Center will play a central role in advancing AI-ready file data infrastructure and strengthening Nasuni’s global product development roadmap.

Telangana Government Inaugurates Expanded Facility

The Hyderabad R&D Center was formally inaugurated by Shri Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary, Information Technology, Electronics & Communications and Industries & Commerce, Government of Telangana. The ceremony was attended by Sam King, Chief Executive Officer of Nasuni, underscoring the company’s long-term commitment to India as a strategic engineering hub.

The inauguration highlights Telangana’s emergence as a global technology and innovation center and reflects growing investor confidence in the state’s ability to support advanced enterprise infrastructure and AI-driven development.

“Hyderabad has steadily evolved into a location where global companies anchor core product engineering, not peripheral support functions,” said Shri Sanjay Kumar. “Nasuni’s decision to deepen its R&D presence here reflects confidence in the state’s ability to support advanced data infrastructure and enterprise technology development.”

Driving Platform Evolution and AI Integration

Working closely with teams in the United States and Ireland, the Hyderabad R&D Center will directly contribute to advancing Nasuni’s unified file data platform. The expanded teams will focus on:

• Semantic indexing and contextual modeling of file data

• Version lineage tracking and metadata intelligence

• Predictive analytics and AI-driven operations

• Zero trust-aligned access enforcement

• Cyber resilience and advanced ransomware detection

These investments are designed to help enterprises activate unstructured file data for both human teams and AI agents, ensuring secure, governed, and context-aware access to business-critical content.

“Enterprise AI is not limited by models. It is limited by file data readiness,” said Sam King, Chief Executive Officer of Nasuni. “Organizations cannot scale AI on fragmented file infrastructure. Our expansion in Hyderabad strengthens the engineering backbone behind our unified file data platform and accelerates our ability to deliver secure, resilient, and analytics-ready file data services to enterprises worldwide.”

Enabling AI-Ready File Systems

Across industries, operational data resides in files such as engineering drawings, CAD models, financial documents, media assets, compliance records, and project documentation. As enterprises deploy AI agents to retrieve, analyze, and generate file content, interaction with production file systems is increasing rapidly.

However, effective AI deployment requires more than simple data access. It demands unified, permission-aware, and context-rich file data environments.

Nick Burling, Chief Product Officer at Nasuni, emphasized the importance of this shift:

“AI initiatives depend on access to trusted, well-governed file data. Our roadmap is centered on extending the value of Nasuni’s unique architecture to activate enterprise unstructured data for teams and the AI that empowers them. The Hyderabad engineering teams are contributing directly to critical investments focused on surfacing operational context captured in enterprise file data and enabling secure, cost-effective access for customers and their AI initiatives.”

Nasuni’s patented File Data Platform combines cloud object storage with enterprise file services, delivering virtually unlimited scale while preserving immutable file system versions. This architecture enables rapid recovery, maintains complete historical context, and provides a secure foundation for both traditional workloads and emerging agentic AI use cases.

Strategic Partnerships to Scale Operations

The Hyderabad Center has been established in collaboration with Summit Consulting and ANSR, both recognized for building and scaling Global Capability Centers (GCCs). The partnership supports structured capability development, talent acquisition strategies, and operational scaling expertise as Nasuni continues to expand its engineering footprint in India.

“Hyderabad gives us access to one of the strongest and deepest technology talent ecosystems globally,” said Peddareddappa G (GPR), Senior Director and India Site Leader at Nasuni. “Our teams here are deeply integrated into Core Platform development. The collaboration across the U.S., Ireland, and India allows us to innovate continuously and respond quickly to evolving enterprise requirements.”

Supporting Enterprise Modernization Worldwide

Nasuni currently supports more than 800 enterprise customers across over 70 countries, managing billions of files across thousands of global locations. Its File Data Platform integrates storage, backup, disaster recovery, ransomware protection, and analytics into a single hybrid cloud solution with centralized management.

As unstructured data volumes grow rapidly across sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, media, energy, and the public sector, the Hyderabad R&D expansion strengthens Nasuni’s ability to support enterprise-scale modernization initiatives worldwide.
