Okta, Inc., the leading independent identity company, is reinforcing its commitment to the Indian market with the launch of in-country Okta Platform tenants, delivering data residency and enhanced disaster recovery. It also helps enable highly regulated sectors—such as banking, financial services, insurance, and healthcare—to securely adopt AI and strengthen their defences against advanced cyber threats.

As enterprises in India accelerate their AI ambitions, security and governance are struggling to keep pace. Okta research shows that 91% of organisations are already using AI agents, but only 10% have a well-developed strategy or roadmap for managing non-human identities. This gap underscores the growing need for identity governance in the AI era. Okta’s identity security fabric helps bridge this divide by providing a central control plane to manage every identity—from humans to AI agents—across all apps, use-cases, and resources.

“As AI agents enter the workforce, traditional perimeter-based security approaches can’t keep up,” said Stephanie Barnett, VP Presales and Interim GM, Okta APJ. “Okta is addressing this head-on with a unified identity security fabric that helps protect every identity—human or AI—with equal rigour. Our investment in India empowers innovators to embrace AI with confidence, compliance, and trust as they scale.”
