Israeli cloud security firm Aqua bets big on Indian market

Israeli cloud security solutions firm Aqua Security, which has set its eyes on the Indian market, plans to establish an exclusive team to drive business in the country.

The four-and-a-half-year-old firm, which set up an R&D centre in Hyderabad with 30 people last year, is looking at forging alliances with system integrators (SIs, such as TCS, Infosys and Wipro) to embed its solutions in their offerings.

“We are in talks with a few SIs,” Dror Davidoff, co-founder and CEO of Aqua Security, told BusinessLine. India is among the top markets where the cloud technologies adoption rate is very high, he added.

The Tel Aviv-based firm, which has about 250 employees globally, is planning to double its headcount over the next year. The number of employees at its Hyderabad development centre, too, will double to 60 during the period.
