Arrcus Expands India Operations to Transform AI, Datacenter and Mobile Networks
Arrcus, the hyperscale networking software company and a
leader in core, edge, and multi-cloud routing and switching infrastructure, announced significant growth in its India operations as demand
accelerates for next-generation AI, datacenter and mobile networks. Along with
expanding partnerships across the Indian technology ecosystem and new
leadership in-country, Arrcus is strengthening its commitment to deliver
scalable, AI-ready networking solutions for datacenter operators, telecom and
communication service providers, and enterprises.
At the heart of Arrcus’ strategy is its Arrcus Connected
Edge-AI (ACE-AI) networking fabric, purpose-built to seamlessly connect xPUs
(GPUs, DPUs, CPUs) and AI workloads scaling across datacenters, cloud, and
mobile networks. This fabric enables customers to scale inferencing and
training while reducing latency and cost and optimizing use of power
—capabilities increasingly critical in India’s rapidly growing AI and digital
economy
“India is leading in the global AI revolution both as an
innovation hub as well as a consumer of AI, with unparalleled market
potential,” said Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus. “By expanding our in-country
workforce and leadership as well as deepening our local partnerships, Arrcus’
networking solutions are now the best choice for Indian customers as an
alternative to incumbent providers like Cisco, Arista, and HPE-Juniper. We are
excited to be at the GFF and IMC events in Mumbai and Delhi in India this
week.”
To support its rapid growth, Arrcus recently appointed
Vikram Anand as Managing Director of India sales and business development.
Vikram brings strong sales experience in building and scaling global technology
operations, including leadership roles at Dell, VMware, and Persistent Systems.
He will lead Arrcus’ go-to-market initiatives in India, working with customers
and partners. Arrcus’ growing engineering team in India is led by Ashutosh
Sharma, a veteran networking executive with over 25 years of industry
experience from companies like Citrix, Cisco and Motorola.
Arrcus is expanding its partner ecosystem in India to
facilitate the supply of open, disaggregated networking solutions that power
digital transformation across industries. Arrcus’ innovative network
infrastructure is now available for financial institutions, telecom and cloud
operators, and other enterprises participating in India’s AI and 5G-driven
growth.
“Fujitsu and Arrcus share a vision of delivering open,
high-performance solutions that accelerate digital transformation,” stated
Masaaki Moribayashi, SEVP Network & Data Center, Fujitsu Ltd. “By
collaborating in India, we’re enabling customers to build agile, AI-ready
infrastructures that deliver efficiency, scalability, and sustainability across
industries.”
“UfiSpace is committed to empowering operators with open, disaggregated networking platforms that scale seamlessly,” said Vincent Ho, CEO of UfiSpace. “Partnering with Arrcus in India strengthens our ability to deliver carrier-class solutions that meet the demands of AI workloads and next-generation mobile networks.
“The future of networking in India is disaggregated and open,” said Nanda Ravindran, VP of Product Management & India Operations at Edgecore. “By combining Edgecore's proven open hardware with Arrcus's advanced ArcOS software, we are together delivering an agile, high-performance foundation that is essential for India’s digital future, from 5G expansion to the rise of cloud and AI.”
Arrcus executives will spotlight the company’s leadership in
AI networking at two major events in India this month (October 2025). At the
Global Fintech Fest (GFF25) in Mumbai on October 7, Umesh Bellur, Consulting
Architect at Arrcus and Professor at UC San Diego, will contribute his
expertise on a panel discussion titled “AI-powered Finance: Efficiency in
Financial Operations”, followed by a masterclass on “Signals, Smart and
Sentiment: AI in Capital Markets”. On October 9, Arrcus CEO Shekar Ayyar will
deliver a keynote address at the India Mobile Congress (IMC25) in New Delhi on
“AI Networking for the Next Era of Mobility and Digital Infrastructure.”
As India continues to emerge as a global hub for AI
innovation and digital transformation, Arrcus is committed to playing a central
role in building the networks that will power this next era of growth for
India. By investing in local talent and leadership, strengthening its ecosystem
of partners, and showcasing thought leadership at premier industry forums,
Arrcus is deepening its commitment to India as both a market and an innovation
center for the future of AI networking.
“India represents one of the most exciting opportunities in
networking today, and Arrcus is well-positioned to capture it,” stated Roy
Chua, Founder and Principal, AvidThink. “The company's focus on AI-ready
infrastructure and open networking alternatives comes at the right time, as
Indian organizations look for modern solutions to support their ambitious
digital transformation and AI initiatives.”
“Arrcus is making a smart move by expanding its presence in
India at a time when the country is becoming a major force in AI adoption and
digital infrastructure,” said Scott Raynovich, Founder and Principal Analyst,
Futuriom. “Their ACE-AI fabric addresses real challenges that enterprises and
service providers face as they scale AI workloads, and having local leadership
and partnerships will be key to their success in this fast-growing market.”
