New Delhi, July 5 (IANS) Leading venture capital firm Accel is set to host India’s largest Cybersecurity Summit in Bengaluru July 25.
To evangelise the early-stage cybersecurity startup ecosystem in India, the event will bring together security operators, CISOs, and notable founders from around the world.
The summit will provide a platform for startups to showcase their cybersecurity innovations and pitch to a select group of CISOs from both large enterprises and tech unicorns like PhonePe, Groww, Cred, and Flipkart.
“With the exponential growth of large SaaS and consumer companies in India, security teams have become highly skilled at combating increasing threat surfaces. Accel has funded over 50 cybersecurity companies globally, many of which have Indian-origin founders,” said Prayank Swaroop, Partner at Accel.
“There are significant opportunities for founders in India to build the next generation of global cybersecurity companies focusing on areas like AI in cybersecurity, application security, and security operations,” he added.
India’s cybersecurity landscape has seen remarkable growth. According to a report by the Data Security Council of India, the market reached approximately $6 billion in 2023, clocking a CAGR of over 30 per cent from 2019 to 2023.
The products segment alone grew by more than 3.5 times, reaching close to $3.7 billion in 2023 from $1 billion in 2019.
There will be four distinct knowledge tracks at the summit, tailored to the varied interests of attendees, and a pavilion where startups and data security teams can showcase their products.
