India– Zscaler, Inc., the cybersecurity platform for the AI era, is investing in the next phase of its growth across the Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ) region with the appointment of Sanjay Yadave as Senior Vice President, APJ. With his track record of growing the Greater Asia business over the past two years, Yadave has been promoted from Vice President & Managing Director, Greater Asia, as Zscaler looks to further accelerate its growth momentum amid rapid enterprise adoption of agentic AI across the region.
In his new role, Yadave will lead Zscaler’s business across APJ, overseeing people growth, business strategy and investment in the region. He will lead the business across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Southeast Asia, South Korea and the Greater China Region.
Since joining Zscaler in 2024, Yadave has played a key role in advancing the company’s growth across Greater Asia. Under his leadership, the business has expanded its data centre offerings, strengthened its presence in South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines, and opened a new Singapore office to support greater collaboration across its growing regional team. Zscaler has also continued to build momentum with leading brands across Greater Asia, including BDO Bank, Korea Zinc, International SOS, PT Bank Hibank, and NCS.
With more than 25 years of experience in the technology industry, Yadave brings a strong track record of strategic leadership, team building, and deep customer and partner engagement. Prior to Zscaler, he held senior leadership roles at VMware, Amazon Web Services, and BT, where he led large-scale regional teams and helped drive growth across key Asia Pacific markets.
“I am honoured to take on this role at such a defining moment for our customers and for Zscaler,” shared Yadave. “Across Asia Pacific and Japan, organisations are moving fast from experimenting with AI to putting AI agents to work across their business, and every one of those agents needs to be secured, governed and trusted. Zscaler was built for this era. Having spent two years building our Greater Asia business alongside an exceptional team, I look forward to working with our customers, partners and people across the entire APJ region to take Zscaler to the next level of growth.”

As enterprises across the region scale agentic AI, they need a security platform built for the AI era, and I am confident Sanjay will drive significant growth and innovation for Zscaler in this critical region.”
As Zscaler embarks on its next era of growth, Yadave’s appointment signifies the company’s long-term commitment to APJ and to helping customers across the region adopt AI securely.
