VCCircle_druvaPune and US-based enterprise backup solutions firm Druva is expanding its footprint to Singapore and Australia by opening up new offices in the region. As of now, about 80 per cent of the company's revenues come from the US market. However, it is now looking to strengthen its presence in Asia to gain a major share of the $1 billion industry.

The startup was founded in Pune but shifted its headquarters to the US (after it received funding from Sequoia Capital) since it believed that the Indian market was not mature enough for its product. As of now, the Asia operations are headquartered in Japan.

Within its existing markets, the company claims that it has expanded the customer base from 2,100 to 3,000 in less than a year. Its clients include big wigs like Dell, PwC and Accenture, among others.
