Founder & CEO @ Cyber Evolve

About

My work sits at the intersection of enterprise technology, cybersecurity, and market strategy.I started my journey on the commercial and strategic side of enterprise technology—working closely with organizations to understand how complex technology decisions are made, how systems are architected, and where they break down as environments scale. This exposure provided a ground-level view into enterprise operations across cloud, infrastructure, and security, and more importantly, how complexity compounds as businesses grow.Over time, one pattern became increasingly clear: in cybersecurity, particularly within SOC environments, there is a persistent gap between the sophistication of tools and the effectiveness of outcomes. Despite significant investments in SIEM and security infrastructure, teams continue to face alert fatigue, fragmented workflows, and operational inefficiencies that limit their ability to scale.From a strategic standpoint, this is not just a tooling problem—it is an architectural one.That realization led to CyberEvolve.Today, I’m focused on building an AI-native cybersecurity platform designed to rethink how security operations function at scale. The emphasis is not on incremental improvements, but on fundamentally improving how detection, correlation, and response are approached—aligning systems more closely with how modern enterprises actually operate.More broadly, I spend time studying how AI is reshaping enterprise software, how categories evolve when underlying technologies shift, and what it takes to build companies that can compete globally from India. I believe the next generation of technology companies will be defined not just by innovation, but by clarity of thought, execution discipline, and the ability to solve real problems at scale.Always open to connecting with operators, founders, and leaders who are building for the long term.

2025-11 - Present · 11 mos

Cybersecurity is entering an era where legacy SIEMs can’t keep pace with the speed and sophistication of modern adversaries. At Cyber Evolve, we aim to redefine cyber defense by building an AI-native foundation that empowers CISOs to move faster, see deeper, and reduce exposure in ways traditional tools can't match. Our approach combines responsible AgenticAI, scalable data intelligence, and machine-speed investigation, delivering clarity where others deliver noise. While we keep the specifics guarded, our platform integrates high-speed search, real-time context, behavioral analytics, and automated decision-making to give defenders a clear edge. We believe resilience comes from the intersection of intelligence, automation, and human expertise, not from replacing it
