Arrcus, a specialist in large-scale networking software, is expanding its footprint in India to meet rising demand for advanced infrastructure across AI, cloud datacenters, and next-generation mobile networks. The expansion includes bolstered local leadership, strategic partnerships, and continued investment in scalable networking technologies tailored for India’s fast-evolving digital ecosystem.
Central to this initiative is Arrcus’ ACE-AI platform — a next-gen networking fabric engineered to efficiently connect diverse processing units (GPUs, DPUs, CPUs) while optimizing AI performance across datacenters, telecom networks, and the cloud. This architecture supports both AI model training and real-time inference at scale, while minimizing power use, latency, and operational overhead — priorities for organizations navigating India’s AI-driven digital acceleration.
“India has become a key player in the global AI landscape — both as an innovation hub and a major user base,” said Shekar Ayyar, CEO of Arrcus. “With our expanded team, local leadership, and strong regional partnerships, we are delivering flexible, high-performance networking that offers a strong alternative to legacy vendors.”
To drive this expansion, Vikram Anand has been appointed as Managing Director for India, bringing deep expertise from prior roles at Dell, VMware, and Persistent Systems. He will spearhead business development and sales efforts, working closely with partners and enterprise clients. Ashutosh Sharma, with more than 25 years of experience at Citrix, Cisco, and Motorola, leads the growing engineering team in India.
Arrcus is also broadening its alliance network within India to provide open, disaggregated networking solutions designed to support large-scale digital transformation. These offerings now serve a wide array of industries including finance, telecom, cloud services, and enterprise IT.
“We share a common vision with Arrcus in delivering flexible, high-speed networking platforms,” said Masaaki Moribayashi, SEVP at Fujitsu Ltd. “Our collaboration in India will help customers build smart, scalable infrastructure for AI and beyond.” “Working with Arrcus allows us to bring open, carrier-grade solutions to India’s growing 5G and AI sectors,” added Vincent Ho, CEO of UfiSpace.
“The move toward open and modular network architectures is gaining momentum in India,” said Nanda Ravindran, VP at Edgecore. “By combining our hardware with Arrcus’ software, we’re enabling the backbone for India’s digital progress.”
As India’s digital economy grows, Arrcus is positioning itself as a key technology enabler by nurturing local talent, investing in partnerships, and advancing network infrastructure that supports AI, cloud, and mobile technologies. “India offers one of the most promising environments for innovation in network infrastructure,” said Roy Chua, Principal at AvidThink. “Arrcus’ focus on open, AI-optimized systems is well-timed for this market.”
“With India’s rapid AI adoption, Arrcus’ strategic expansion is both timely and necessary,” noted Scott Raynovich, Principal Analyst at Futuriom. “The company’s ACE-AI platform directly addresses the needs of enterprises and telecoms navigating large-scale AI deployment.”
Headquartered in San Jose, California, Arrcus builds next-generation networking software that enables unmatched flexibility, speed, and reliability. Its modular approach allows organizations to move away from traditional hardware-centric models and adopt more dynamic, cost-effective architectures. Backed by industry veterans, leading technologists, and top investors, Arrcus continues to disrupt the networking space with its innovative approach to open and scalable infrastructure.
