Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 19: Sonatype, the end-to-end software supply chain security company, has announced the opening of a new Innovation Center in Hyderabad, India -- a key step in its strategy to scale global, AI-driven software development. The center will support continuous innovation and strengthen Sonatype's mission to secure modern software built on open source and AI-generated code. With this expansion, Sonatype will continue its legacy of innovation, including the creation of Nexus Repository -- trusted by over 15 million developers -- and safeguarding Maven Central, the largest open source Java repository in the world. As open source and AI-generated components now make up over 80% of modern code, Sonatype's comprehensive platform uniquely protects the entire software development lifecycle from emerging threats. "India is home to one of the largest open source and AI adoption communities in the world. By expanding to Hyderabad, we are building closer connections to the region's AI-first innovation hubs, while reaffirming our long-term commitment to scaling responsibly and sustainably," said Mitchell Johnson, Chief Product Development Officer at Sonatype. "With access to India's top-tier talent, we're extending our ability to better support a new generation of forward-thinking customers and partners, with greater speed, resilience, and impact." Sonatype's Hyderabad Innovation Center will house over 200 engineers, product leaders, security researchers, and AI experts, working in a culture rooted in openness, ownership, and innovation. The center will accelerate product development, strengthen AI capabilities, and enable 24/7 global support. Leading Sonatype's strategy and growth in India is Abhishek Chauhan, newly appointed Head of India and Senior Director of Technology, who brings deep software security expertise from roles at Lending Tree and Wells Fargo. "From Maven Central and Nexus Repository to patented AI-driven technology, Sonatype has always been on the frontier of innovation," said Abhishek Chauhan, Head of India and Senior Director of Technology. "I'm excited to be joining at such a pivotal moment in the company's journey and lead the team in India. With this new center, we're investing not just in technology, but in the next generation of engineering talent that will define the future of secure software."
