MongoDB Appoints Industry Veteran Aamir Sait to Lead India Business in the AI Era
NEW
DELHI, INDIA—[September 2025] - Aamir Sait has joined MongoDB
as Area Vice President for India. As part of MongoDB's long-term commitment to
the region, the company is bringing in Sait to help scale the local business,
deepen relationships with customers and partners, and accelerate AI innovation.
MongoDB already has a significant presence in India, and some of the country's
leading organisations are MongoDB customers, including SonyLIV, EY, Tata
Digital, BharatPe, Zomato, Axis Bank, Zepto, Adani Digital, and many
others.
With over 25 years of
leadership experience—including transformative work at AWS, where he helped
scale its India business from market entry to a high-growth, mature
operation—Sait brings expertise in building world class go-to-market teams and
delivering outstanding results for customers and partners. Sait also had
leadership stints at RSA and Dell. More recently, he founded a cybersecurity
startup, giving him a deeper perspective on the technical innovation needed to
serve the Indian market.
India has long been an
important market for technology; it has one of the world's largest developer
populations and is a software development hub for many global companies. The
new era of software development is forcing Indian organisations to evolve their
application stacks more rapidly than ever—or else risk being left behind.
Legacy systems are unable to keep up with the continuous adaptation and dynamic
decision-making required by AI-driven applications.
MongoDB's powerful document
model and its fully integrated, AI-ready data platform—MongoDB Atlas—has
already helped many Indian organisations to modernise, accelerate
time-to-market, and build AI applications. Customers using MongoDB to drive
innovative AI use cases in the region include IntellectAI, Ambee, IGT
Solutions, and IndiaDataHub.
Sachin Chawla, Area Vice
President MongoDB, ASEAN & India, said: "We've already had a big
impact in India but it's still so early in this generational shift to AI and
how software is built. The opportunity in front of MongoDB in India is huge. Aamir’s
role in scaling AWS and his entrepreneurial experience make him uniquely suited
to help us capture that opportunity. His passion for people, his strategic
vision and his ability to execute with precision will be instrumental as we
have an even greater impact for our customers, partners, employees, and the
developer community."
The developer community has
seen strong adoption with more than 1.4 million developers in India now listing
MongoDB as a skill on LinkedIn. The MongoDB Academia Program is working to
deliver valuable AI and data skills to more than 500,000 students in the
country.
Aamir Sait, Area Vice President MongoDB, India, said: "Technology evolves quickly, especially in the AI era, but at its core, this is still a people business. I’m privileged to work alongside my colleagues, customers, and partners in India, helping them drive transformative change. Over the past year, I gained valuable insights as a founder and developed an even deeper appreciation for technology-driven innovation. I couldn’t be more excited to be building on the incredible foundation that MongoDB has established in India."
