- India launch
- 2000
- Maturity
- Multi-Function / Full-Stack GCC
NetApp India operates as a locally incorporated entity led by a resident Managing Director, spans three cities, and combines core engineering/R&D (VP Engineering & Engineering Site Leader role) with an outward-facing innovation function (the decade-old NetApp Excellerator startup accelerator) - a broad, full-stack mandate rather than a narrow captive-support role.
Location rationale
Bengaluru hosts NetApp India's registered corporate office and engineering site, consistent with the city's deep pool of storage/cloud/AI engineering talent; Hyderabad and Pune provide additional engineering/operations capacity. General city-level rationale inferred, not independently sourced.

Leadership context
Actual India Managing Director is Ravi Narain Chhabria, appointed MD of NetApp India Private Limited on September 22, 2020 (per MCA company filing). This resolves the on-file discrepancy: 'Jayakrishnan Kc, Chief of Staff, NetApp India MD Office' is a Chief-of-Staff role supporting Chhabria's MD office, not the MD himself. Vasanthi Ramesh holds the operational title VP Engineering & Engineering Site Leader, NetApp India, and is the executive most frequently quoted in recent India press.
