Why Bengaluru and Why Now
Smartsheet didn’t pick Bengaluru by accident. The city’s concentration of AI, engineering, and cybersecurity talent — combined with a mature tech ecosystem — made it the obvious choice for a hub that’s expected to shape global product direction, not just execute tasks.
The GCC already exceeded its first-year targets and is now entering an aggressive multi-year growth phase, expanding beyond engineering into customer support, marketing, sales, talent acquisition, and G&A. For more on India’s booming GCC ecosystem, read TechnoSports’ tech industry coverage.
What This Means for the Indian Tech Talent Market
This is a significant signal for India’s tech hiring landscape. Smartsheet is building what it calls a “destination culture” — a custom-designed office for colocation and collaboration, with multi-year career paths for top local talent.
Roles span deep technical profiles to business functions, making this one of the broader GCC expansions of the year. Explore open roles at the Smartsheet Careers page and stay updated on enterprise tech moves at TechnoSports.
