Tableau Software, a global business analytics software provider today announced its launch in India. The company also named Deepak Ghodke as Country Manager for India.
Ghodke has been with Tableau for the past six years. He started with the company as Director, Sales in 2008, where he was responsible for the central region of the United States. He has been working with companies in India to educate them about the value of data analytics since his move to India in 2012.
Prior to Tableau, Ghodke was associated with Oracle Corporation and worked in product marketing at Hyperion Software. He attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the Indian Institute of Technology in Mumbai.
Commenting on the India launch, Ghodke said, “Data is a lifeline of any business – it gives people a view into the opportunities and risks involved in any decision. Since our inception in 2003, our software has systematically helped people access information, perform analytics and get instant results, in the office and on-the-go. Our India entry is in response to market demands in the region, and the growing business opportunity it offers. We are particularly excited about the scale that we have achieved so far, and are looking forward to translating that into the Indian market.”
“Asia Pacific has been a fast-growing market for us. We are excited to launch in India and see tremendous promise in developing the market, as well as partnering with organizations to meet their data and business intelligence needs. The initial response we have received so far has been very encouraging and with Deepak’s experience and expertise, we are looking forward to reaching a wider audience and further strengthening our presence in the region,” said JY Pook, Vice President – Tableau, Asia Pacific.
