Ideal Customer
- Aryaka's sweet spot spans mid-market to large enterprise organizations, with particular strength in multinational companies that have distributed offices across geographies where internet quality is inconsistent — especially Asia-Pacific.
- The company has been recognized on the CRN MES Midmarket 100 list and explicitly offers entry-level pricing for SMEs (defined as companies with $50M–$2B in revenue and 100–2,500 users), while simultaneously serving several Fortune 100 companies.
Key Differentiators
- Aryaka's primary differentiator is its private global Layer 2/3 backbone network with 40+ PoPs, which delivers MPLS-like performance predictability without the cost or rigidity of MPLS — unlike most SD-WAN competitors that run over the public internet.
- It positions itself as the 'first' to deliver Unified SASE as a Service through a single-pass architecture (OnePASS), converging SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and next-gen firewall into one fully managed platform — eliminating the need for separate SSE and SD-WAN vendors.
Industries Served
- Aryaka serves a broad range of industries with a primary focus on global enterprises.
- Based on G2 reviewer data and customer case studies, top verticals include manufacturing, financial services (including security-sensitive banking and insurance firms), aviation and transportation/logistics, technology, food and beverages, medical devices, and energy management.
Service Coverage
- Aryaka operates globally, with deployments spanning over 100 countries and serving customers across all major regions including the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
- The company's private backbone network consists of 40+ Points of Presence (PoPs) strategically located across six continents, with PoPs in major U.S. cities (Ashburn, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, San Jose, Seattle), key EMEA hubs (London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin, Madrid, Stockholm, Dubai, Tel Aviv, Johannesburg), and extensive APAC coverage including multiple cities in China, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Australia.
Partnerships
- Aryaka operates a robust channel-first model through its Aryaka Accelerate Global Partner Program, with channel revenue accounting for approximately 85% of total company revenue as of FY2023.
- Its flagship DRIVE program includes strategic technology services distributors (TSDs) AVANT Communications, Telarus, Intelisys, and Bridgepointe in the U.S., plus white-label reseller partners Deutsche Telekom in Germany and SoftBank in APAC — collectively representing 79% of revenue.
Company Size & Ownership
- Aryaka was founded in 2009 by Ajit Gupta, Ashwath Nagaraj, and Rajeev Bharadhwaj, and is headquartered in the San Jose/Santa Clara, California area.
- The company's workforce peaked at approximately 834 employees in 2024 and declined to approximately 618 employees by late 2025, a ~30% year-over-year reduction likely reflecting a post-growth rightsizing.
Compliance & Certifications
- Aryaka holds SOC 2 Type II certification, which it has maintained continuously since 2015, with annual recertifications conducted without observations.
- The company also holds ISO 27001 certification (initially awarded in 2020 and subsequently recertified), which covers its ISMS across its San Mateo/Santa Clara HQ, Bangalore offices, and its global PoP service locations.
