MongoDB opens 2nd APAC office in India

BANGALORE, INDIA: MongoDB today announced its first office in India, located in the technology hub of Gurgoan's Cybercity, to address demand for MongoDB and to support its growing community.

India will be the second office for MongoDB in Asia Pacific.

India has some of the largest MongoDB user Groups in APAC, including Bengaluru with 701 users, Delhi with 451 users and Pune with 301 users, said MongoDB in a press release.

More than 17,000 developers and DBAs in India have registered for MongoDB University, the company's free, online courses that teach users how to develop and administer MongoDB systems quickly and efficiently.

"The MongoDB community is vibrant in India. We're excited to have a local presence as the country is central to our APAC growth plan," said Kamal Brar, vice president of APAC at MongoDB, in a statement. "The team in India will focus on extending our community presence, building expertise across partners, and supporting existing customers and new prospects."

There has been growing market interest across the APAC region in open-source technology, in particular India where the largest deployments in the world are being implemented and chosen over proprietary offerings.

The new office will serve customers in India with MongoDB products, services and training.

MongoDB is the open-source, document database popular among developers and IT professionals due to its agile and scalable approach.

Common use cases include operational and analytical big data, content management and delivery, mobile and social infrastructure, user data management and data hub.
