Ritesh Gupta India Country Manager, Rubrik

Rubrik, Inc. has appointed Ritesh Gupta as country manager for India.

This pandemic year saw a proliferation of data and the remote workforce pushed organizations to accelerate cloud adoption and digital transformation initiatives to gain more line of sight across data silos and capitalize on business outcomes. Market studies have also shown an increase in ransomware attacks where India is amongst the top countries most affected by these threats and organizations are increasingly placing more emphasis on securing sensitive data.

Gupta will spearhead Rubrik India, driving business through the existing partner ecosystem and establishing new partnerships with local system integrators and tech alliances. A seasoned leader in the IT space, he joins Rubrik from Nutanix where he led the India West Region business since 2016.

“I’m excited to have Ritesh join the leadership team to lead our India business, as we continue to expand our presence across the AsiaPac region,” said Kamal Brar, VP and GM, AsiaPac and Japan. “India represents a tremendous market opportunity for us to accelerate cloud transformations at scale, we continue to deliver disruptive innovation focused on our customer’s most valuable asset, their data – enabling seamless cloud protection, orchestration, security, and governance across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.”

On his appointment, Gupta commented: “I am excited to be part of a company that is on a hyper-growth journey. Through my initial interactions with partners and customers, they have given me encouraging feedback on Rubrik Cloud Data Management solutions innovation where we help them drive more business value with their data, ensure BC in case of a ransomware attack and most importantly accelerate their digital transformation journey.”
