Anaplan expands operations in India

New local data center ensures data residency and regulatory compliance

MIAMI, FL - Anaplan, the leading scenario planning and analysis platform designed to optimize decision-making in today’s complex business environment, today announced the opening of a new data center in India. This expansion supports Anaplan’s previously announced $500 million investment designed to accelerate innovation while expanding the company’s global presence.

“In response to the increasing demand for data-driven decision-making, organizations across diverse sectors — including finance, retail, manufacturing, and technology — are seeking scalable, high-performance solutions to improve agility and resilience. Anaplan’s addition of our new data center not only ensures data residency and compliance with local regulations, but it underscores the growing importance of the Indian market,” said Amit Bagga, Managing Director, APAC for Anaplan.

Key benefits of Anaplan’s new India data center include:

• Enhanced performance and low latency: Significantly reduced latency for Indian customers will enable faster processing and real-time insights for critical planning activities, such as financial forecasting, supply chain optimization, and workforce management.
• Drive digital transformation: By leveraging advanced data management, analytics, and local data residency, India-based businesses can accelerate their digital transformation initiatives, staying ahead in a competitive market.
• Data sovereignty and compliance: The new local data center ensures customer data remains within India, addressing the growing emphasis on data localization under regulations like the Personal Data Protection Bill, and providing enhanced assurance for businesses in regulated industries like Financial Services and Government sectors.
• Scalability for growth: All Anaplan data centers are designed to support the exponential growth of Anaplan's user base in India, facilitating seamless handling of large-scale, multi-dimensional planning models powered by Anaplan’s technology.

“We have been leveraging Anaplan for the past couple of years and have steadily enhanced our Integrated Business Planning (IBP) capability,” said Arun Bhanumurthy, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Transformation, Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd.

“Anaplan India is at the cusp of significant growth across industries. As we help our customers navigate increasingly complex supply chains and business operations, it has become important to offer them the option of local data hosting through our India Data Center. With this launch, we are directly addressing a key ask from our global banking and financial services customers, enabling them to partner with us more confidently and compliantly in India,” said Sanket Deodhar, Country Head for India at Anaplan.

The India data center was operational as of March 2025, allowing existing and new customers in India to leverage its capabilities. As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to expand its presence in the Asia Pacific region, Anaplan anticipates launching a data center in Indonesia in Q2 2025, followed by Singapore in the second half of 2025. These expansions will ensure that businesses across the region can leverage the latest in data management and analytics, further enhancing their operational efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
