Research overview

Zscaler, Inc. is a US-based publicly traded cloud security company (Nasdaq: ZS) founded in 2007 by Jay Chaudhry and K. Kailash, headquartered in San Jose, California. It provides the Zero Trust Exchange, a cloud-native security platform. The company IPO'd in March 2018 and was added to the Nasdaq-100 in December 2021; Jay Chaudhry serves as CEO, Chairman and Founder.

India launch: 2007
Maturity: Multi-Function / Full-Stack GCC

Zscaler's careers site lists open-role locations across at least six Indian cities rather than a single site, and the Bengaluru entity has been active since 2007, suggesting a broad, multi-city presence spanning more than a single narrow function. Specific functional mix could not be independently verified.

Location rationale

Zscaler's India entity is registered and headquartered in Bengaluru; the company's careers listings show additional India offices in Pune, Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Mohali (Chandigarh tri-city area) - a spread consistent with sourcing both engineering/product and go-to-market talent across major Indian tech corridors. Specific stated rationale could not be verified.
