Meet Our Talent Leadership

At Coupa, we are very intentional in our global expansion. Locations we choose to operate are designed to unlock innovation, connect us closer to our customers, and build the teams shaping what’s next. That’s exactly why we’ve just opened a new office in Bangalore, India. We marked this exciting milestone with an official grand opening on April 1, 2026. Often called the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore represents one of the most dynamic technology ecosystems in the world and is home to thousands of startups, global enterprises, and a rapidly expanding tech talent base. For Coupa, this move is about more than geography. It’s about capability. “Bangalore becomes a great addition to our already strong presence in India, joining our locations in Hyderabad and Pune to collectively build what we call ‘The Network Effect’ to power the future of trade,” said Ankur Goyal , Vice President, Engineering & GM Coupa India. “The speed, depth, and quality of talent across India creates a burgeoning AI community that’s setting the bar for our next phase of innovation.” 

Growth happens when the right people connect with meaningful opportunities. In the latest episode of Shaping What’s Next at Coupa , host Len Abbazia sits down with Christian Le Loux, Director of Talent Acquisition for India and APAC, to talk about the future of hiring, the role of storytelling in building trust with candidates, and why this is an exciting moment for talent in the region. Originally from Australia and now based in Singapore, Christian has spent much of his career building global talent teams across industries including technology, consulting, and financial services. What drives him most is helping organizations grow by connecting people to meaningful work. Since joining Coupa, one thing has stood out right away: the culture. “There’s a strong sense of trust here,” Christian shares. “Leaders want ideas, debate, and progress.” That environment creates space for innovation while staying grounded in values, something Christian believes is essential for building strong teams and meaningful careers. The conversation also explores how the future of talent acquisition is evolving with AI and technology. For Christian, those tools are most powerful when they enable people to focus on what matters most. “The future of talent acquisition isn’t less human but even more human, supported by smarter tools.” For candidates considering opportunities in India and APAC, Christian says the timing couldn’t be better. “This is a moment of momentum. People joining now have the opportunity to help shape how teams grow and how the region contributes globally.” Watch Episode 5: Meet the TA Leader - Christian Le Loux.
