Pune: Cybersecurity company SonicWall has opened an office in Pune, its second engineering base in India. The new office will add to the company’s development work and help build products for customers worldwide.
The Pune team will work alongside SonicWall’s research and development centre in Bengaluru.
“India is central to SonicWall’s growth and innovation strategy. Our Pune office will enable us to cultivate world-class talent, expand our development capacity and create cybersecurity solutions that address customers’ changing needs.”
Rajnish Mishra, Chief Development Officer, SonicWall
SonicWall plans to add 400 engineering roles in India, covering AI, cloud technology, cybersecurity research and work on new platforms. The team will focus on the security problems created by AI, the move to cloud computing and staff working from many locations.
“SMBs are a core part of SonicWall’s customer base, and Pune’s thriving technology and industrial ecosystem makes the region especially important.”

Our analysis
SonicWall’s next products will largely be written in India. Four hundred engineers working on AI and cloud security make Pune and Bengaluru the core of its product plans, not a support function. Pune also puts the company closer to the small and mid-sized businesses that make up much of its market.
