Firebolt Expands APAC Presence with New Singapore Hub and Regional Leader

Firebolt, an analytical database provider, expands in APAC with a new hub in Singapore and appoints Deepak Ajmani as Head of Asia & ANZ. Ajmani brings over 20 years of leadership experience in the tech industry, including senior roles at Oracle, Dell, Google, and Confluent. Firebolt's expansion aims to meet the region's growing demand for analytics and AI-driven infrastructure.

Firebolt, a provider of analytical databases for real-time applications, has announced a significant expansion across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, driven by surging demand for data and AI initiatives. The company has established a new regional hub in Singapore, marking a strategic move to strengthen its presence and accelerate growth in key verticals such as financial services, e-commerce, and technology [1][2].

To lead this expansion, Firebolt has appointed Deepak Ajmani as the Head of Asia & ANZ. Ajmani brings over 20 years of leadership experience in the technology industry, including senior roles at Oracle, Dell, Google, and most recently as Vice President of A/NZ & Emerging Markets at Confluent [1][2]. His appointment underscores Firebolt's commitment to scaling its go-to-market teams and meeting the region's growing need for analytical infrastructure that can power the next generation of real-time applications.

Firebolt's new hub in Singapore will focus on delivering strong price/performance even for complex, high-concurrency demands. The company's analytical database is built for engineers running mission-critical analytics and AI workloads, with Postgres SQL compatibility and native Iceberg support. This allows Firebolt to run low-latency analytics, scalable batch ELT, and AI workloads efficiently [1][2].

The expansion comes at a pivotal moment as investment in AI-driven analytics, cloud infrastructure, and cost-optimized data platforms accelerates across the region. Earlier this year, Firebolt launched operations in Bangalore and has since made several key executive hires, further underscoring the company's momentum in the APAC market [1][2].

"We're seeing demand in APAC accelerate faster than in any other market we've entered," said Sandeep Mathur, Managing Director of APAC. "With Deepak joining the team, we're well-positioned to meet the region's surging need for analytical infrastructure that can power the next generation of real-time applications" [1][2].

Hemanth Vedagarbha, President at Firebolt, added, "Our mission is to give engineers an analytical database that delivers unmatched performance, flexibility, and control. Deepak's track record in scaling high-performing businesses and teams will be instrumental as we enter our next phase of growth, ensuring we deliver greater efficiency and value across the region" [1][2].

This expansion reinforces Firebolt's leadership in enabling low-latency analytics, high-concurrency performance, and AI-ready capabilities for organizations across a wide range of industries [1][2].
