Limited Meraki Job Opportunities in India

[Shubh3738]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in the network/security domain with hands-on experience in Cisco Meraki admin. Personally, I find Meraki incredibly effective for its cloud-based simplicity and centralized management.

However, I’ve noticed that Meraki doesn’t yet have strong market penetration in India. Solutions like FortiGate and Palo Alto Networks seem to lead the demand here. While actively looking for a job change, I’ve found very few openings specifically for Meraki firewall or SD-WAN administrators on platforms like LinkedIn and Naukri.com.

I truly hope Meraki’s adoption grows in the Indian market, especially within the security landscape. If anyone has insights, suggestions, or knows of relevant opportunities, I’d be happy to connect.

I believe this is not exclusive to your country. But this is due (in my opinion) to the limitations that Meraki still has, causing players like Palo Alto and Fortinet to still dominate the market.

Unfortunately, Meraki still lacks the basic features that it should have.

[Shubh3738]

Yes, you’re right — Meraki may have some limitations compared to more players like Palo Alto and Fortinet.

I don’t have deep hands-on experience with those platforms, so I can’t compare directly.

But from what I’ve worked on, I find Meraki to be one of the easiest and most efficient solutions when it comes to deployment and management. Its cloud-based interface really simplifies day-to-day operations.

I do hope Meraki continues to grow and expand its feature set — and that its adoption increases in India as well.

That would definitely open up more job opportunities in the network/security space here.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

100% agree, as much as I love Meraki the MX is not in the same league as Fortinet and Palo Alto.

Just checked the Cisco Meraki careers page — currently, all active openings are outside India, such as:

Escalations Engineer – Security (MX) – Kraków, Poland

Escalations Engineer – Switching (MS) – Remote, Poland

Network Support Engineer – Mexico City, Mexico

Technical Documentation Leader – AMER Region

🇮🇳 No active Meraki roles based in India at the moment, unfortunately.

Thanks for sharing the links!

I’m actively looking too, but as I mentioned earlier — Meraki-related job openings are quite limited, especially compared to roles in Fortinet, Palo Alto.

Even on platforms like LinkedIn and Naukri.com, the number of Meraki-specific roles is much lower.

India has a growing base of Meraki users and skilled professionals, but unfortunately, we’re not eligible for community promotions, contests, or recognition programs. Inclusion would not only boost engagement but also help open up more job opportunities, which are currently quite limited here for Meraki-focused roles.

Hope Meraki will consider expanding participation to India in the future!
