We’re excited to announce that Mend.io has launched a local cloud region in India—a meaningful step forward in our commitment to serving customers across one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing software markets.

Meeting the needs of regulated industries

For organizations in regulated sectors—particularly financial services—data residency and sovereignty are more than checkbox requirements. They directly shape how and whether a security solution can even make it through procurement and security review processes. Banks, fintech companies, and other regulated enterprises operating under India’s data governance frameworks need the assurance that their data stays in-country.

With local infrastructure now live in India, Mend.io removes that friction. Customers can move through compliance and procurement cycles with greater confidence, knowing that their data residency requirements are met without compromise. We believe that great security software should be accessible to everyone and local infrastructure is a key part of making that a reality in regulated markets.

A signal of long-term commitment

Beyond compliance, this launch reflects something broader: a genuine, long-term commitment to the Indian market.

India continues to be a strong and growing source of pipeline for Mend.io. The country’s software ecosystem is large, rapidly expanding, and increasingly sophisticated in how it approaches application and AI security testing. We see tremendous opportunity here, and this infrastructure investment is our way of putting down roots, not just processing transactions from afar.

Strengthening the partner ecosystem

Local infrastructure also creates new possibilities for how we work with partners and service providers on the ground. Having in-country infrastructure opens the door to deeper collaboration with existing partners and helps us engage additional integrators across the region over time. Building a strong local partner network is essential to delivering the kind of hands-on support and expertise that customers in India deserve.

Our partners on the ground are already seeing the impact of this commitment. As one of our key India-based partners shared:

“Mend.io has been an outstanding partner in helping us bring world-class application security to our customers in India. Their deep expertise, responsive support, and continuous innovation make them our go-to solution for organizations serious about securing their software supply chain. The addition of local cloud infrastructure only strengthens what is already a highly productive and trusted partnership.” — Ankur Mehrotra CEO, Meteonic

Looking ahead

The India cloud region is an important operational milestone, and it’s one we’re proud to reach. As the Indian software industry continues to grow, Mend.io will be there with the infrastructure, partnerships, and commitment to help development teams build more securely.
