The aggressive plans for the Bangalore facility mirror Harness’ growth trajectory since it came out of stealth in late 2017. The company was co-founded by Jyoti Bansal after the sale of AppDynamics to Cisco for 3.7 billion, and was the first company to be spun out of Bansal’s new startup studio BIG Labs. The company quickly achieved traction among both enterprise and medium-sized organizations; early customers include McAfee, NCR, New York Life, Build.com. Soulcycle, and Jobvite. The company was named a Gartner “Cool Vendor in DevOps” for 2018 and also won the Barclay “Technology Open Challenge Award” in 2018.
Hemant Khandelwal has been appointed head of the facility, bringing years of experience creating and inspiring industry-acclaimed teams. Khandewal most recently served as CTO of Rivigo, where he helped the company become a unicorn in three years building its technology platform and putting together a high performing, 100+ team from scratch. Khandelwal also had successful runs at Adobe Systems, Pramati, and Infosys.
“I couldn’t be more enthusiastic about taking the reins of the new Harness R&D facility in Bangalore, and I urge talented engineers to reach out to me,” said Hemant Khandelwal. “Harness is on fire from both a customer acquisition and brand awareness standpoint. We all know the kinds of products that Jyoti Bansal brings to market, and Harness has already proven to have his magic touch. This is truly ‘the place to be,’ and I hope to bring aboard the next members of this fast-growing team very soon.”
“The Harness mission is to simplify the Continuous Delivery process for every engineering team on the planet, using Machine Learning to ensure that code is delivered into production safely, securely, and repeatably,” said Jyoti Bansal, Harness co-founder & CEO. “Our Bangalore R&D facility is a critical component of our overall strategy, and I’m excited that an executive of Hemant’s caliber will be doing for us what he has done many times in his career building legendary teams that make an immediate and lasting impact. I look forward to seeing his team grow.”
