Sonatype, an open-source cybersecurity solutions firm and a leader in AI-driven DevSecOps, has launched its Innovation Hub in Hyderabad, India, marking a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion and further solidifying the city’s position as a hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). 

The new hub will serve as Sonatype’s largest and fastest-growing research and development centre, housing over 200 engineers, product leaders, data scientists, and AI experts.

The hub was inaugurated by Telangana Government’s Minister for Information Technology, Sri Dudilla Sridar Babu, who praised Hyderabad’s thriving economy and talent pool for attracting top companies like Sonatype. 

“I believe Sonatype’s India Innovation Centre will be a cornerstone in keeping Hyderabad at the forefront of innovation,” he said. “The Government of Telangana has created a thriving economy and talent pool that is catapulting it to the top of the global investment industry.”

The Hyderabad Innovation Centre will serve as Sonatype’s largest and fastest-growing R&D hub, housing over 200 engineers, product leaders, data scientists, and AI experts, expanding Nexus ecosystem support and advancing automation, scalability and customer experience. 

“India is leading a global technology transformation — not only as a hub for engineering excellence, but as a model for how nations can embrace AI responsibly and securely,” said Bhagwat Swaroop, CEO of Sonatype. 

“Hyderabad has become a magnet for the world’s most innovative companies, making India the epicentre of software development powered by open source and AI. With the launch of our India Innovation Hub, Sonatype is tapping into one of the world’s most dynamic technology ecosystems — accelerating innovation that benefits not just India, but the global developer community.”

The team will focus on developing cutting-edge innovations in AI/ML-driven security, cloud-native software development, and open source intelligence — expanding Sonatype’s capabilities to safeguard the global software supply chain. Sonatype will also continue serving as an educational partner as organisations adapt to an evolving regulatory landscape, including CERT-IN guidelines, SBOM compliance, and the SEBI Cyber Resilience Framework.

“Our Hyderabad Innovation Hub represents Sonatype’s belief in the power of local talent to make a global impact,” said Abhishek Chauhan, Head of India and Senior Director of Technology, Sonatype.
