Local Presence to Support ANZ Enterprises
Glean has announced the expansion of its operations in Australia, establishing a local entity to meet the growing demand for secure enterprise AI solutions across Australia and New Zealand. The decision was revealed on 4th May 2026, as the company plans to enhance support for regional customers and partners.
As organisations in Australia and New Zealand shift from AI pilot projects to enterprise-wide implementations, Glean aims to nearly double its team in the region this year. This expansion addresses the need for AI that integrates with existing systems while ensuring data sovereignty and security.
Arvind Jain, Founder & CEO of Glean, stated, "We’re expanding in Australia because the demand is real, and we believe this market will be one of the defining markets for enterprise AI globally. Organisations across Australia and New Zealand know what AI can deliver, and they’re moving quickly to make it useful inside the enterprise."
Meeting Market Needs
Australia is recognised as one of the most mature technology markets in the Asia-Pacific region. However, many organisations face challenges in scaling AI deployments securely. Glean's expansion aligns with its international growth strategy, aiming to support enterprises seeking to deploy AI with confidence.
By the end of 2025, the company surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue. Glean's customer base in ANZ has more than tripled in the past two years, with leading organisations like Optus, Canva, Xero, and REA Group among its clients.
Amar Maletira, Chief Operating Officer at Glean, noted, "We’re seeing strong appetite across ANZ for AI that can work across the enterprise, not just within a single application or workflow. This is a market with high SaaS maturity, but also real complexity from fragmented environments to rising expectations around trust and data sovereignty."
Glean is collaborating with partners such as AWS, Snowflake, and Mantel to help businesses leverage existing data, cloud, and technology environments for AI deployment. This effort aims to transform AI from experimental to impactful enterprise applications.
Glean’s expansion in Australia reflects both the market opportunity in ANZ and the company’s broader international growth strategy. By strengthening its foundation in-market, Glean is better positioned to support regional customers and partners as enterprises look for AI they can deploy with confidence.
