Ping Identity opens India data centre as enterprises seek local identity infrastructure for AI

The Mumbai deployment enables enterprises to host supported identity workloads locally while addressing data residency, AI governance and latency requirements.

Ping Identity has launched its India data centre, expanding its local infrastructure as enterprises look to host identity workloads within the country while supporting AI adoption, data residency and regulatory requirements.

Hosted in Google Cloud's Mumbai region, the new deployment enables organisations to host supported identity workloads locally, helping reduce application latency while strengthening governance over digital identities.

The company said the India data centre supports customers' data residency preferences and helps organisations navigate India's evolving privacy and regulatory landscape as they modernise digital services and AI deployments.

"India is one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies, and data residency and identity governance have become increasingly important priorities for organisations across the country," said Ping Identity’s regional vice president, Asia, Jasie Fon.

"Our India data centre reflects Ping's long-term commitment to India and gives customers the local infrastructure they need to innovate with confidence as AI becomes central to their business."

Supporting AI adoption

The launch comes as Indian enterprises move AI initiatives from pilot projects into production, increasing the need for stronger identity controls across users, applications and AI agents.

According to Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise report, 40 percent of Indian organisations report significant or full AI usage, compared with a global average of around 28 percent, highlighting the pace of AI adoption in the country.

Ping Identity said enterprises now need to manage not only user access but also the permissions, governance and visibility associated with AI agents and non-human identities as AI becomes embedded across business operations.

The India deployment will help organisations host supported identity workloads locally, strengthen privacy-by-design, consent management, access controls and auditability, while improving application performance through lower-latency local hosting.

It also aims to accelerate cloud identity adoption while maintaining security, operational resilience and governance across enterprise environments.

The company said its Runtime Identity platform continuously verifies identity, context and access across customers, employees, partners, applications and AI agents, helping organisations apply identity policies consistently across digital environments.

The India data centre builds on Ping Identity's existing presence in the country.

The company already operates an engineering and development centre in Bengaluru with around 300 employees supporting global product engineering, innovation and customer success, alongside its growing go-to-market organisation in India.

With the addition of local identity infrastructure, Ping Identity is expanding its India footprint beyond engineering to support enterprises looking to modernise identity security while scaling AI initiatives and meeting local hosting requirements.
