DigiCert has announced the introduction of a locally-hosted version of DigiCert ONE in India, enhancing the nation’s digital trust services. This move supports India’s digital transformation and data sovereignty objectives as businesses navigate increasingly complex digital ecosystems.
Evolving Regulatory Landscape
The India-based DigiCert ONE facilitates the management of digital trust operations within the country, aligning with regulatory and data sovereignty needs. India's regulatory framework, particularly in sectors like banking, finance, and telecommunications, requires businesses to adhere to guidelines from multiple authorities such as RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and CERT-In. By consolidating crucial trust functions into a single platform, this deployment aids enterprises in improving performance and reducing compliance challenges while adapting to changing regulations.
Core Engineering Presence
According to James Cook, APAC Group Vice President at DigiCert, “India is central to DigiCert’s global growth and innovation strategy.” The company’s commitment to investing in a local instance reflects its dedication to performance, compliance, and customer confidence.
DigiCert’s strategic focus on India is evident, with nearly 75% of its engineering personnel based in Bangalore and Pune, working across various functions such as core engineering, product management, and IT. The firm employs over 350 digital trust professionals in India, marking its largest workforce globally.
Supporting Major Enterprises
DigiCert caters to numerous clients in India through both direct and partner engagements
DigiCert caters to numerous clients in India through both direct and partner engagements. Over the past year, it has significantly expanded its business by welcoming sizable enterprise clients and diversifying its clientele across sectors like information technology, banking, eCommerce, and travel. The local launch of DigiCert ONE enhances DigiCert’s capacity to support these businesses effectively, promoting growth by easing barriers concerning data residency and governance.
Preparing for Future Demands
Anant Deshpande, Regional Vice President, India & ASEAN at DigiCert, noted, “This local deployment simplifies adoption for both customers and partners.” The Indian instance of DigiCert ONE is designed to meet regulatory and operational needs, laying the groundwork for future developments, including shorter certificate lifecycles and post-quantum readiness.
This initiative is a part of DigiCert’s broader strategy to implement local instances of DigiCert ONE, addressing regional compliance and sovereignty requirements. In addition to India, DigiCert operates local instances in Australia, Europe, Japan, and the United States, underscoring its commitment to global digital trust solutions.
DigiCert, a pioneer in intelligent trust, announces the availability of a locally-hosted version of DigiCert ONE in India, delivering secure, compliant, and high-performance digital trust services entirely within the country’s borders.
The new deployment reinforces DigiCert’s long-term investment in India and supports the country’s digital transformation and data sovereignty priorities as enterprises scale increasingly complex digital ecosystems.
Evolving regulatory expectations
India-based DigiCert ONE enables organizations to manage digital trust operations locally while meeting regulatory, performance, and data sovereignty requirements. India’s regulatory environment is among the most complex in the world, with enterprises in banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, and telecommunications often required to comply with guidance from multiple authorities simultaneously, including RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and CERT-In.
By bringing critical trust functions together on a single platform, the deployment provides a scalable foundation for trust at enterprise scale, helping organizations reduce compliance friction, improve performance, and align with national standards and evolving regulatory expectations.
Spanning core engineering
“India is central to DigiCert’s global growth and innovation strategy,” said James Cook, APAC Group Vice President at DigiCert. “Investing in a local DigiCert ONE instance reflects our long-term commitment to India and enables customers to operate with the performance, compliance, and confidence required from day one while preparing for what’s next.”
India has long been central to DigiCert’s global strategy. Nearly three-quarters of DigiCert’s engineering talent is based in India within its Bangalore and Pune offices. These teams design, build, and operate the trust infrastructure that secures the global internet, spanning core engineering, product management, IT, customer success, order management, finance, legal, and sales. DigiCert currently employs more than 350 digital trust associates in India, making it the company’s largest employee base worldwide.
Largest enterprise customers
DigiCert serves thousands of customers across India through direct and partner-led engagements. Over the past year, the company has more than doubled its business in the country, onboarded its largest enterprise customers, and added dozens of new logos across sectors including IT and IT-enabled services (ITES), banking and financial services (BFSI), eCommerce, retail, and travel.
DigiCert ONE in India strengthens DigiCert’s ability to support these customers at scale while accelerating growth by removing barriers tied to data residency, governance, and performance.
Post-quantum readiness
“This local deployment simplifies adoption for both customers and partners,” said Anant Deshpande, Regional Vice President, India & ASEAN at DigiCert. “Hosting DigiCert ONE in India helps organizations meet regulatory and operational needs now, while building a foundation for changes ahead—from reduced certificate lifecycles to post-quantum readiness.”
The India launch builds on DigiCert’s global strategy of delivering DigiCert ONE through local instances to meet regional compliance and sovereignty needs. In addition to India, DigiCert operates local DigiCert ONE instances in Australia, Europe, Japan, and the United States.
