Salesforce India reported a consolidated profit of Rs 1,292.30 crore for the financial year 2024-25, up 45.46 percent from the previous year, reflecting strong demand for its enterprise technology and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in the country.
The topline for Salesforce India includes both sales in India and the receipts for work done for global operations out of the country.
The San Francisco, US-headquartered tech giant’s FY24 profit stood at Rs 888.4 crore.
Revenue from operations grew 46.49 percent to Rs 13,140.60 crore, coming a year after the India business crossed $1 billion in revenue, according to the company’s filings sourced from Tofler. In FY24, Salesforce’s revenue was around Rs 8,970 crore.

Arundhati Bhattacharya, President & CEO at Salesforce - South Asia, said, “India continues to be a powerhouse of growth and innovation for Salesforce. The trust our customers place in us is clearly reflected in the strong momentum and growth trajectory we've achieved in India over the last few years."
“The next chapter of AI belongs to those who can blend technology with purpose. India has the talent, ambition, and vision to lead this change. At Salesforce, our mission is to help every customer become an Agentic Enterprise — one that is intelligent, trusted, and ready for the future," she added.
Salesforce started operations in India in 2005 with its first centre of excellence in Hyderabad.
At present, the company is spread across six locations in the country with a workforce of more than 13,000, growing from 2,500 employees in 2020. India is the second-biggest market for the company after the US.
“We were about 2,500 in 2020… now, we have a headcount of over 13,000, over a five-fold jump…we will continue to invest and grow in India because the country has a lot of skills that everybody wants to hire,” executive vice president and MD (South Asia) Arun Kumar Parameswaran told PTI in an interaction earlier this month.
