The country is an epicentre for global software and quality engineering
Sauce Labs, the end-to-end agentic software quality engineering leader founded by the team behind Selenium and Appium from California, is expanding its Real Device Cloud, part of its AURA (AI-Unified Release Assurance) platform, to India, in an effort to add regional capacity and data-locality options to support the growing number of enterprise engineering teams operating in the region.
India is an epicentre for global software and quality engineering. Today, 80% of Sauce Labs’ biggest customers run engineering teams in India, and they need real device infrastructure that scales alongside those teams. More code written with AI means more code to verify before it can be shipped, hence the requirement for in-region low-latency agent-friendly real devices. The new data centre brings real iOS and Android devices in-country along with the AURA software stack and provides developers direct programmatic access to all of it.
“India is where a growing share of the world’s software, and the AI that helps write it, gets built,” said Prince Kohli, CEO of Sauce Labs. “Our customers need to know that every release does what the business intended. With AURA in India, they can verify releases against business intent close to where the code is written, at the speed at which code is now being written. This maintains trust in shipped software even as humans are less and less involved in its creation. With one of our R&D centres also situated in India, customers have the confidence of easy access to experts as well,” Kohli said on 22 Oct from San Francisco.
Sauce Labs AURA authors, runs, and analyzes tests, with humans in control, verifying that each release does what the business intended. The India region extends its Real Device Cloud:
Access to real devices in India. iOS and Android devices, hosted in India.
Data locality. An in-region option for organizations with data-locality requirements.
Programmatic access. The Real Device Access API gives AI agents and scripts programmatic access to real mobile devices from developers’ IDEs, without replacing existing systems.
ISO 42001 certification. The India region operates under the same enterprise security and AI governance controls that Sauce Labs applies across its global infrastructure. The company holds ISO 42001 certification, validating the controls in place for the development of AI, and the India data center will be included in the Company’s December 2026 ISO 27001/27701 recertifications.
Local expertise. Sauce Labs has an R&D centre in India, so customers are closer to the engineers who build the platform.
Sauce Labs is the company behind Selenium and Appium, and its AURA platform is built for release assurance. AURA is an agentic AI platform that closes the loop from business intent to production confidence, automatically authoring, running, and analyzing tests at AI speed, with humans in control. It shifts testing from checking whether code works to verifying that every release does what the business intended, learning from each release to make the next one safer. Informed by more than 8.7 billion test executions, the ISO 42001-certified AURA platform is trusted by eight of the world’s 10 largest financial institutions and 300,000+ enterprise users.
