Message

I lead enterprise security architecture, governance, and incident response for global organizations, including Khaitan & Co. and EUTECH–Siera Alliance. At Khaitan & Co., I served as de-facto CISO across nine offices in India and Singapore, commanding ransomware recovery with zero data loss and restoring business operations across eight offices.

I've built Zero-Trust, SIEM/SOAR, vulnerability-management, DFIR, AI/LLM governance, and third-party risk programs; reduced critical incident response to under five minutes; and cleared 50+ SIG/CAIQ due-diligence assessments. Earlier, I delivered ISO 27001:2022 implementation and reduced malware infections by 90% across a 5,000+ endpoint campus network.
