Industry veteran to accelerate adoption of real-time data infrastructure as enterprises scale AI and next‑generation applications
Redis, the world’s fastest real-time data platform, has appointed Abhoy Kumar Sarkar as Country Manager & Managing Director for India, marking a strategic step in deepening its presence in one of the company’s fastest-growing global markets. Sarkar will steer Redis’ go-to-market strategy, enterprise expansion, and partner ecosystem development as demand for high‑performance, AI‑ready data infrastructure accelerates across the country.
Sarkar joins Redis at a defining moment for Indian enterprises. With organisations rapidly modernizing their application stacks and moving AI initiatives from experiment to production, real-time data has become essential to support latency-sensitive, intelligent systems. In his new role, Sarkar will focus on helping customers adopt Redis to power applications that require instant processing, vector search, AI agent memory, caching and real-time context capabilities increasingly foundational in the era of GenAI and digital transformation.
“Real-time data is now the engine powering India’s AI revolution.”
— Abhoy Kumar Sarkar, Country Manager & Managing Director, India, Redis
Sarkar brings more than two decades of leadership experience from global technology giants including Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, and Zscaler, where he built high-performing teams and drove scalable growth across complex, evolving markets.
Mark Peet, Senior Vice President & GM, International at Redis, said Sarkar’s appointment is central to the company’s next phase of expansion.
“India is a critical growth market for Redis and a region where real-time data is the foundation for modern application development and AI adoption. Abhoy brings the leadership experience and regional depth needed to scale our business in India as we help more organizations build real-time, AI-powered applications at scale.”
India remains one of Redis’ strongest growth engines as enterprises adopt GenAI-powered workloads that demand low latency, reliable performance, and scalable data architectures. Redis recently surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) globally, reflecting rising adoption of real-time data platforms as core infrastructure for AI and agentic systems.
Based in Bangalore, Sarkar will drive market strategy, strengthen partner collaborations, and broaden Redis’ support for Indian organisations building the next generation of AI-driven applications.
