Dhruv Gupta, Senior Director of Engineering & General Manager, Meltwater India, said: "With this new facility, we're positioning Meltwater India as a key pillar in our global R&D strategy, bridging local expertise with global innovation. This expansion strengthens that commitment, bringing our global ambitions closer to India's world-class talent ecosystem”.
