## Source excerpt

At DigitalOcean, our philosophy, 'We ship in hours and days, not months or quarters,' delivers real results for our customers. This is the exact velocity that has defined DigitalOcean's India region over the past year. Since expanding into the Hyderabad market exactly twelve months ago, the broader India team has rapidly evolved into a core engine for our global business, shipping high-impact products at record speed. Time flies when you are having fun! As we celebrate this anniversary, we recognize a year of unparalleled execution and look forward to the region's next massive milestone: building DigitalOcean's Agentic Inference Cloud. A history of high-velocity growth DigitalOcean recently achieved record growth as a $1B global inference cloud company, supporting over 640K customers in 190 countries across 18 globally distributed data centers, including one in Bangalore. Over time, we have supported larger, more complex AI and Digital-Native workloads for companies like Character.ai and Workato, and have established partnerships with AMD and NVIDIA. Our team in India has grown alongside the company, becoming a critical hub for product-led innovation. In the last year alone, we have doubled in size with over 370 employees in-region as we develop the next generation of AI inference and position the company for accelerated growth. "DigitalOcean is entering a new phase of accelerated growth driven by AI. AI inferencing and agentic workflows will power the next generation of applications, and our India teams are strategic to our product and technology innovation, helping build these AI native capabilities across the platform," says Venkatraghav Parthasarathy, Vice President, India General Manager. Building the AI inference cloud DigitalOcean has brought together talent from across India - from Engineers to Technology Evangelists, Product Managers, and UI experts - to build DigitalOcean's Agentic Inference cloud. This includes products like GPU Droplets, Gradient AI, and
