Strangeworks Expands Global Presence to India and Sri Lanka
By simplifying access to the widest range of advanced compute hardware and software technologies, Strangeworks empowers researchers and subject matter experts to more easily formulate, model, analyze, and deploy enterprise solutions to their complex optimization, machine learning, and simulation problems, without needing a PhD in quantum mechanics to get started.
This regional expansion also builds on Strangeworks’ successful collaboration with BQP, a Quantum-Accelerated Digital Twin software company with Indian origin. Since 2022, the two companies have worked together to advance the area of Quantum algorithms and applications for India’s quantum ecosystem and broadly its industries. They demonstrated high-performance engineering simulations for race cars, which showcase how quantum-inspired algorithms can deliver valuable business outcomes today.
To lead this growth, Strangeworks has appointed Pathy Iyer as Director of India Sales and Marketing. Based in Bengaluru, Iyer brings nearly 30 years of experience driving business development in education and research technology across companies like HP, Agilent, and Keysight. He will play a key role in building strategic partnerships and deepening customer relationships throughout the region.
“India’s bold investments in quantum and AI make it one of the most exciting markets on the planet,” said Steven Gibson, Chief Commercial Officer of Strangeworks. “With Pathy at the helm and strong regional partnerships in place, we’re bolstering our mission to democratize advanced computing globally.”
Pathy Iyer said, “I am honored to join Strangeworks and lead its expansion into India and Sri Lanka. The potential for quantum and AI technologies to revolutionize industries here is immense. I look forward to working closely with our customers and partners to leverage Strangeworks’ unparalleled platform to solve complex challenges and drive innovation across the region.”
