Atlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ:TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today announced that it is opening a new office in Bengaluru (formerly known as Bangalore), India. The company plans to grow the office into a world-class R&D and customer support center during the next several years, with initial hiring already under way. As Atlassian's first location in India, this site will add to the company's growing global presence.

“Scaling Atlassian successfully is vital to building an enduring company,” said Scott Farquhar, co-founder & co-CEO. “Bengaluru has exceptional technical talent, leadership, and business infrastructure that naturally aligns with our long-term company goals."

The company has hired its first two of many functional leaders for the location and plans to expand further in the coming months by adding a number of engineering, recruitment, design, product management, and customer support roles. Atlassian's new office is located in a temporary space at Embassy Golflinks Business Park, with plans to move to another, larger location in the next year.
