The Cybersecurity Paradox: Why India Has No Billion-Dollar Cybersecurity Startups—Yet India has given the world some of the most celebrated technology leaders. Many of the largest global cybersecurity companies—Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Netskope—are led by Indian-origin CEOs. And yet, India does not have a single billion-dollar cybersecurity startup of its own. Why this paradox? Mindset: Cybersecurity seen as compliance, not strategy. Capital: VC focus on e-commerce, fintech, SaaS over security. Talent: Top founders build abroad, not at home. Trust: Global buyers lean toward Silicon Valley or Israel. This is exactly why we’re working on something new. In stealth right now, but built with a bold vision: to show that India can create cybersecurity companies of global scale. Not just leaders, but true category-defining products. We’re quietly engaging with a select few enterprises to pilot this journey—leaders who believe in supporting innovation early, and in backing Indian technology with global ambition. If you’re curious, let’s connect. Together, we can change the narrative—so that the next billion-dollar cybersecurity company isn’t just led by an Indian CEO, but proudly built in India.

🎥 From Forensics to Future-Ready Governance In our recent conversation with Dinesh Purushothaman, Head of Forensic & Corporate Investigations at GMR, we explored how organizations can shift from reactive investigations to proactive corporate governance powered by data and AI. Key takeaways from the discussion: 🔹 Data – Every investigation begins with raw digital trails: transactions, logs, communications. The challenge is not volume, but trust. Is it genuine or fabricated? 🔹 Metadata – Often the silent witness. Time stamps, device IDs, geotags, and access trails can reveal more than content itself, helping teams validate authenticity and identify misconduct quickly. 🔹 Models – AI models can cut through complexity: reducing months of manual reviews into days, flagging anomalies in SAP or finance systems in real time, and neutralizing human bias through transparent, repeatable analysis. 👉 Watch the highlights from our discussion with Dinesh here https://lnkd.in/gVsmQitT At Minfy, we embed these principles into our EGIRA framework – helping enterprises like GMR (and others in regulated industries) to: ✔️ Evaluate governance risks holistically ✔️ Govern with auditable, bias-free controls ✔️ Innovate with AI-driven anomaly detection ✔️ Re-engineer forensic workflows with real-time alerts ✔️ Adopt a culture of awareness through continuous training The message is clear: Governance is no longer about hindsight. It’s about foresight, powered by data, metadata, and models. 👉 Discover how the Minfy Gen AI Solution Factory can help your enterprise unlock similar outcomes: https://lnkd.in/gz9TPaFN Sundar Ram Praveen Sridhar Surbhi Saimbi Manish Dixit Ganesh S Ekhlaque Bari Vikram Manchanda Vijay Jain ☁ Vivek Jain Karan M.
