As part of its expansion plans in India, the company chose Bengaluru for setting up its first tower in the country.

According to the regulatory filing with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ Registrar of Companies, Salesforce India saw its total revenue rise over 36% to ₹9116.3 crore in the year - ended 31st March from the previous year. Bullish about the opportunities, Salesforce has announced Salesforce Tower Bengaluru. This will be one of ten Tower investments Salesforce has made in key markets including San Francisco, New York, Chicago, London, Dublin, Sydney, Tokyo, Atlanta, and Indianapolis.

Salesforce Tower Bengaluru will be located in Bagmane Capital in Mahadevpura. The 12-story tower will feature an immersive lobby, a Salesforce Innovation Centre, and spaces designed for how employees work today with a focus on collaboration, sustainability, and employee wellness. It will also include training spaces to host in-person AI upskilling opportunities for employees and the community. In line with Salesforce’s commitment to sustainability, the building will pursue LEED Gold certification. Salesforce employees will start moving into the Tower upon completion in 2026.

“The launch of the first ever Salesforce Tower in India further strengthens our continued commitment to the region providing our employees a stellar experience and state-of-the-art space for collaboration, and innovation in an AI-first era where humans with agents drive customer success together. This investment is a testament to our ongoing focus on growth, innovation, and customer success," said Arundhati Bhattacharya, CEO & Chairperson, Salesforce India.

Salesforce’s growth in India is also supported by an extensive ecosystem of established strategic partners, start-ups, over 2 million Salesforce developers, and more users of Trailhead - Salesforce’s free online learning platform - than any market outside the United States. It’s a unique, highly dynamic community facilitating new Salesforce solutions and opportunities within the region.

“Salesforce Tower Bengaluru will serve as a beacon of Salesforce’s culture and values, and a central gathering place for our employees, customers, partners, and Trailblazers from around the world. This intentional and beautiful space will foster collaboration, learning and innovation as we embrace the future with AI and agents,” said Relina Bulchandani, Executive Vice President, Real Estate & Workplace Services, Salesforce.

Salesforce has been investing in India for over a decade. The company opened its Hyderabad Centre of Excellence in 2016 and expanded it in 2023, firmly establishing India as a leading talent and global innovation hub for the company. Bengaluru continues to be a top talent hub enabling the company to deliver new innovations and support Salesforce’s customers around the world.
