Nasuni has announced a major expansion of its Research & Development Center in Hyderabad to accelerate innovation in unified file data management, protection, and activation. The expansion was formally inaugurated on February 24, 2026, by Sanjay Kumar, IAS, Special Chief Secretary for Information Technology, Electronics & Communications and Industries & Commerce, Government of Telangana, alongside Sam King, Chief Executive Officer of Nasuni.
Strengthening Global Platform Development
The Hyderabad facility will collaborate closely with Nasuni’s teams in the United States and Ireland to advance the company’s platform evolution. Key focus areas include:
- File data indexing
- AI integration
- Resilient infrastructure design
The center has been established in partnership with Summit Consulting and ANSR, organizations recognized for building and scaling Global Capability Centers. The collaboration brings structured capability design, talent strategy, and operational scaling expertise to support the expansion.
Telangana’s Growing Technology Ecosystem
Shri Sanjay Kumar emphasized Telangana’s growing role as a global technology hub, noting that Hyderabad has evolved into a destination where global companies anchor core product engineering functions. He stated that Nasuni’s decision to expand its R&D presence reflects confidence in the state’s ability to support advanced data infrastructure and enterprise technology development.
Engineering Focus Areas
The expanded Hyderabad teams will concentrate on several critical capabilities, including:
- Semantic indexing and contextual modeling of file data
- Version lineage tracking and metadata intelligence
- Predictive analytics and AI-driven operations
- Zero trust-aligned access enforcement
- Cyber resilience with advanced ransomware detection
These capabilities are increasingly important as enterprises deploy AI agents to retrieve, analyze, and generate file content from production file systems.
Enabling Enterprise AI Readiness
Sam King, CEO of Nasuni, addressed the challenge facing enterprise AI adoption, stating that organizations cannot scale AI on fragmented file infrastructure. He emphasized that enterprise AI limitations are rooted in file data readiness rather than AI models themselves. The Hyderabad expansion strengthens the engineering foundation behind Nasuni’s unified file data platform and accelerates delivery of secure, resilient, and analytics-ready file data services globally.
Nick Burling, Chief Product Officer at Nasuni, highlighted that AI initiatives depend on trusted and well-governed file data. He noted that the company’s roadmap focuses on activating enterprise unstructured data for both teams and AI systems. The Hyderabad engineering teams are contributing to investments aimed at surfacing operational context within enterprise file data and enabling secure, cost-effective access for customers and AI initiatives.

He noted that the Hyderabad teams are deeply integrated into core platform development, and collaboration across the United States, Ireland, and India enables continuous innovation and rapid response to evolving enterprise requirements.
