Atlassian, the global leader in team collaboration and productivity software (including Jira, Confluence, and Loom), has opened a new state-of-the-art R&D Centre in Bengaluru, reaffirming India’s role as a cornerstone of its global innovation strategy.
Spanning 200,000+ square feet, the new facility is four times larger than its previous office in Bengaluru, underscoring Atlassian’s commitment to India’s technology ecosystem and its focus on building cutting-edge solutions for the global market.
India: A Strategic Hub for Atlassian’s Growth
Since its entry into India in 2018 with just 60 employees, Atlassian has rapidly grown its local workforce to over 2,500 professionals, making it the company’s largest employee base outside Australia and the US.
Nearly 75% of Atlassian’s India team works in R&D, contributing to key product innovations in enterprise search, commerce, data residency, and customer success. With this expansion, Bengaluru is cementing its role as a core innovation hub in Atlassian’s global network.
Rajeev Rajan, Chief Technology Officer at Atlassian, highlighted the importance of India in the company’s growth journey:
“India continues to be one of our most important R&D hubs, and Bengaluru sits at the heart of this growth. This new world-class R&D Centre is more than just a larger space—it’s a symbol of our investment in the future of work, distributed teamwork, and the exceptional talent we have here in India.”
Designed for Distributed-First Work
The Bengaluru R&D Centre is built to support Atlassian’s Team Anywhere policy—a distributed-first approach enabling employees to work from wherever they are most effective.
Key features include:
- 420 ergonomic workstations and 200 agile work points
- 70 collaboration studios and five ITG rooms with seating for 250
- 280-seat café with regional cuisines and live kitchen
- Wellness spaces including yoga/multi-use zones, quiet rooms, parent rooms, and recreational terraces
- Outdoor sports court supporting cricket, futsal, badminton, and pickleball
- Sustainability-driven design with locally sourced materials, artisan artworks, and over 10,800 live plants
Avani Prabhakar, Chief People Officer at Atlassian, said:
“Our new R&D Centre is a destination for the incredible talent we have in India—designed for how we work today and how we will work tomorrow. Through Team Anywhere, we tap into India’s diverse skillsets across metro cities and beyond, helping us build world-class products with a globally distributed workforce.”
Strengthening Atlassian’s Asia-Pacific Presence
The Bengaluru expansion reflects Atlassian’s long-term strategy to scale operations in the Asia-Pacific region while staying true to its mission of “unleashing the potential of every team.”
The new R&D Centre not only strengthens Atlassian’s global innovation engine but also positions Bengaluru as a destination for world-class collaboration, design, and engineering talent.
