Workday Ramps Up India Expansion, Positions Country as Key Engineering Hub.

Workday, an enterprise AI platform for HR and finance, is deepening its presence in India with plans to open new offices in Delhi and Bengaluru in FY27, the launch of its India Data Centre operations earlier this week, and a sharper go-to-market push.

The company currently employs more than 1,000 people across Pune, Chennai and Mumbai, and expects its India workforce to surpass 1,200 by the end of the financial year. Local teams support product development, AI research, customer experience and professional services.

With the addition of a new India-region Data Centre, Workday customers will have the option to deploy Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning on Amazon Web Services hosted in India. The new region will be available for provisioning new customers from December 2025, while migrations from other regions—subject to required local approvals—are expected to begin in early 2026.
