About Salesforce India

Salesforce India in Hyderabad is a rapidly growing enterprise software GCC where approximately 10,000 engineers build the AI-powered CRM and enterprise platform features used by hundreds of thousands of businesses globally. Established in 2016, the Hyderabad centre has expanded dramatically as Salesforce pursues its strategy of making AI central to its product portfolio — from Einstein Copilot generative AI assistants to Agentforce, the autonomous AI agent platform that Salesforce has positioned as the centrepiece of its next growth phase. India engineers hold product ownership over core Salesforce modules, AI features, and Tableau analytics capabilities that directly shape the daily workflow of millions of enterprise software users.

The Agentforce development hub in Hyderabad is Salesforce India's most strategically prominent current initiative. Agentforce enables businesses to deploy AI agents that autonomously handle customer service inquiries, sales processes, and marketing campaigns using natural language interaction and integration with Salesforce's CRM data. Building these agents requires large language model fine-tuning, complex workflow orchestration, Salesforce Data Cloud integration, and safety engineering to ensure agent actions are controllable and auditable — a rich engineering challenge that India teams are working on with genuine global product ownership.

Salesforce India targets 12,000 employees by 2027, with growth concentrated in Agentforce engineering, Data Cloud platform development, and Tableau AI features. The Raheja Mindspace campus in Hi-Tech City provides excellent Hyderabad infrastructure, and Salesforce's distinctive Ohana culture — emphasising equality, inclusiveness, and collective success — creates one of the most employee-friendly GCC environments in India. Salesforce's AI-first product strategy and the commercial scale of the Salesforce platform make Hyderabad one of the most consequential enterprise AI engineering locations in the country.
