New Relic is continuing its growth in India with the expansion of its Hyderabad Innovation Centre and a new corporate partnership with T-Hub, India's leading startup incubator.
The new 500+ seat office provides a dedicated environment for product, design, engineering, and operations teams to accelerate product innovation, and will support the needs of the growing New Relic customer base. The partnership with T-Hub demonstrates New Relic’s continued commitment to the local tech ecosystem, and represents the first global observability platform to sign a corporate partnership with the incubator.
2024 marks a year of rapid expansion for New Relic in India.
- In May 2024, the business expanded its footprint in Hyderabad; opening a new 200+ seat Innovation Centre.
- In November 2024, New Relic opened a new 300+ seat office in Bengaluru, which has product, engineering, and design co-located with go-to-market and operational teams.
- The expanded 500+ seat office Hyderabad Innovation Centre represents a 2.5x increase in capacity in just six months, with overall headcount in India more than quadrupling since the beginning of 2024.
In addition to further increasing its product and innovation footprint in India, New Relic is demonstrating its commitment to the local tech ecosystem by becoming the first global observability vendor to sign a corporate partnership with T-Hub. The partnership will see New Relic provide support to the local startup ecosystem through dedicated events, community mentorship opportunities, and discounted rates for the New Relic Intelligent Observability Platform through the New Relic for Startups program. The program gives startups access to New Relic’s 30+ world-class capabilities that make up the New Relic Intelligent Observability Platform.
“The expanded Hyderabad Innovation Centre is a world-class facility that marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy for India,” said New Relic CEO Ashan Willy. “The Centre places India on equal footing with our US and European Innovation Centres; enabling us to tap into fantastic local talent and create great products that meet the needs of our growing customers in India and around the world.”
“Our mission at T-Hub is to empower startups with the resources, mentorship, and partnerships they need to create transformative innovations,” said T-Hub CEO Sujit Jagirdar. “This strategic collaboration with New Relic is a testament to our commitment to building a thriving tech ecosystem. As our first global observability partner, New Relic’s expertise and cutting-edge platform will enable startups in our ecosystem to develop robust, scalable, and impactful solutions, driving technological advancement and global competitiveness.”

Two years ago, almost every customer conversation about AI started with the same questions: Which model should we use? What can it do? Is it ready for the enterprise? Today, those discussions have moved on. CIOs are far more interested in how to govern AI, integrate it with existing systems, prepare their workforce and make it part of everyday operations. The challenge is no longer to prove that AI can deliver value. It's instead about how to embed AI into the business in a way that's secure, scalable and delivers measurable outcomes ...
Two things happened to production incidents between 2023 and now, and they did not happen at the same speed. The first is that a class of dependency that barely existed three years ago now accounts for one incident in ten. Incidents disclosed by AI model and AI application providers rose from 1.7% of all disclosed unplanned incidents in 2023 to 10.7% in 2026 year to date, roughly a sixfold rise; that counts only incidents at AI companies themselves, so the true share is higher. The second is that the time to close an incident has not come down ...
When an AI assistant gives an incomplete or incorrect answer, teams often blame the model. They adjust prompts, switch models, increase context windows or test a new retrieval strategy. However the model may not be a problem. In many enterprise AI workflows, the problem begins inside the document-ingestion pipeline ...
If you talk to any security or observability teams right now, they're all fighting the same fire: their tooling was built to ingest X, but their sources are pumping Y and soon to be doing Z. The knee-jerk reaction is always the same: we need more platform. However, this reaction is wrong. Let me explain why, because the solution to this problem is foundational, not financial. Instead of hurling yet more money at the problem, make sure you've done what's needed upstream ...
Rapid AI adoption and the unique ways AI workloads operate is redefining the scope and structure of what these teams must deliver. This shift is forcing organizations to rethink how they manage scale, automation, and control, according to The State of SRE and Platform Engineering 2026, a new report from Dynatrace ...
AI is usually talked about as a software tool, but it also depends heavily on the network behind it. Whether a company is using AI for chatbots, automation, monitoring, analytics, or employee support, all of that information has to move across the network in a reliable and secure way. That means AI is not just an application decision. It is also an infrastructure decision. Before organizations rush into AI, they should ask a simple question: Is our network ready to support it? ...
Enterprise AI often lacks governed access to where business processes actually execute. Without that access, AI agents may be able to reason, but they cannot operate reliably across enterprise workflows. For AI agents to effectively carry out workflows, they will require integration-layer context and controls. Organizations can implement these prerequisites by providing AI with managed access to the middleware layer ...
Enterprise networks rarely behave the same way for very long. A routing adjustment in one region may unexpectedly alter application performance in another. A cloud migration may introduce hidden dependencies that go unnoticed until an outage occurs. All the while, the network is managed by several different teams, each of whom use different tool sets — and as a result, have different views of the network ... There’s usually an engineer who remembers why traffic fails over a certain way between sites, or which transparent firewall was added where. The problem is that human memory cannot scale alongside enterprise-scale networks ...
Ask an infrastructure team how confident they are in their ability to govern AI, and most will tell you they've got it handled. A recent survey of 406 IT decision-makers and platform engineering leaders found 86% expressing exactly that confidence. Ask the same group whether they have a formal written AI governance policy, and the number drops to 30%, according to Spacelift's Infrastructure Automation Report ...
