New Relic has seen significant growth in India. Since opening its first Indian office in Bengaluru in March 2022, the company has expanded rapidly with the team growing by approximately 400% in 2024. New Relic also opened the Hyderabad Innovation Center in October 2022; relocating to a larger 500+ seat facility in December 2024. It has also become the first global observability vendor to sign a corporate partnership with India’s leading startup incubator, T-Hub.

“India is one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world, with enterprises and startups rapidly adopting cloud, AI, and modern application architectures. This creates a huge opportunity for New Relic to help organisations gain real-time visibility, optimise performance, and link technology investments directly to business outcomes,” said New Relic Senior Director of Enterprise Sales and Country Manager India, Ashok Khurana. “I’m thrilled to join the New Relic team and look forward to deepening New Relic’s presence in India’s high-growth sectors, while cementing observability as a strategic enabler for customer experience.”
