Glean Expands to Australia as ANZ Demand Grows for Secure Enterprise AI

Established legal entity and growing in-region team strengthen support for customers and partners as organisations across the region look to deploy AI with greater business impact

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Work AI leader Glean today announced a deeper investment in Australia, formalising its local presence with an established entity as AI momentum continues to build. As organisations across Australia and New Zealand move from AI experimentation to enterprise-wide adoption, Glean is expanding its support for customers and partners in the region. With a local legal entity and plans to nearly double its in-market team this year, Glean is helping enterprises across ANZ deepen AI adoption in ways that deliver meaningful business impact and make AI more useful in the flow of work.

Australia is one of the most mature technology markets in APAC, but many organisations are still navigating the harder second act of the AI journey: moving from pilots to secure, governed deployment at scale. Across ANZ, enterprises are managing sprawling application environments, siloed information, rising expectations around data sovereignty, and the need for AI that can work across the business, not just within a single tool or workflow.

Glean’s expansion in Australia reflects both the market opportunity in ANZ and the company’s broader international growth strategy. By strengthening its foundation in-market, Glean is better positioned to support regional customers and partners as enterprises look for AI they can deploy with confidence.

“We’re expanding in Australia because the demand is real, and we believe this market will be one of the defining markets for enterprise AI globally. Organisations across Australia and New Zealand know what AI can deliver, and they’re moving quickly to make it useful inside the enterprise. But they need more than access to models. They need AI grounded in their company’s own context, connected across their existing systems, and built with security and governance at the core.” – Arvind Jain, Founder & CEO, Glean

Glean’s expansion in Australia builds on broader company momentum. The company surpassed $200 million in annual recurring revenue in December 2025, just nine months after reaching $100 million ARR, and has more than tripled its enterprise customer base in the past two years. That growth reflects a broader market shift as enterprises move beyond pilot programs and make AI a core part of how work gets done.

This momentum is playing out across key ANZ industries including technology, financial services, telecommunications, and media, where organisations are looking for AI that can operate securely at scale. Glean already supports leading organisations in the region, including Optus, Canva, Xero, and REA Group, having grown its ANZ customer base by more than 60 percent in the past year.

Building on this customer momentum, Glean’s expanded presence in the region will help customers and partners scale AI adoption more effectively.

“We’re seeing strong appetite across ANZ for AI that can work across the enterprise, not just within a single application or workflow. This is a market with high SaaS maturity, but also real complexity, from fragmented environments to rising expectations around trust and data sovereignty. Glean’s context-aware Work AI platform is designed for that reality, bringing enterprise knowledge, permissions, and workflows together in a secure AI layer. With our growing local presence, we can work more closely with customers and partners as they turn AI from experimentation into scaled business impact.” – Amar Maletira, Chief Operating Officer, Glean

In ANZ, Glean is working with ecosystem partners including AWS, Snowflake, and Mantel to help enterprises deploy AI on top of their existing data, cloud, and technology environments.
