New Delhi [India], April 10: The Odisha-born cybersecurity company records ₹12 crore gain, surpasses 70% revenue margin, and expands to Dubai and Europe – all in a single year.

Threatsys Group, a rapidly emerging global cybersecurity leader headquartered in Bhubaneswar, has announced a landmark year of growth, innovation, and international expansion. Closing FY 2025 with an impressive 80% revenue growth, a ₹12 crore gain, and a revenue margin exceeding 70%, the company is now setting an ambitious target of surpassing ₹30 crore in FY 2026, driven by artificial intelligence and next-generation cybersecurity services and solutions

“Threatsys is no longer just growing — we are transforming how cybersecurity is delivered globally. With AI at the core of our strategy, we are building intelligent, predictive, and scalable security ecosystems with our 360-degree cyber security services. Our mission is to move organizations from reactive defense to proactive cyber resilience.”

— Deepak Kumar Nath, MD & CEO, Threatsys Technologies

From its origins in Odisha to becoming a multi-entity global cybersecurity ecosystem, Threatsys has successfully expanded its presence across India, Dubai, Europe, and Africa. As of April 2026, the group serves more than 2,600 clients across over 25 countries, reinforcing its position as a trusted cybersecurity partner for enterprises worldwide.

The year also brought significant recognition and milestones for the organization. Threatsys was honored with the Atal Samman as the Best Cyber Security Company of India at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, received the Excellence in Cyber Security Award from Entrepreneur Magazine, and was recognized as Emerging Entrepreneur in Cyber Security by ET Now and Times Now. The company further strengthened its presence by inaugurating its new headquarters in Infocity, Bhubaneswar and was awarded the Industry Excellence Award at the Odisha Nirmana MSME Summit by Kanak News, reinforcing its leadership and impact in the cybersecurity domain.

Clients Aren’t Just Satisfied — They’re Staying (and Referring)
Revenue growth is impressive. Customer loyalty? That’s a different – and harder – game to win. Threatsys achieved both. Customer satisfaction climbed by 55% in FY 2025, a direct result of enhanced service delivery, more personalized security consulting, and tightened risk assessment frameworks along with domestic and international cybersecurity compliances. The outcome: higher client retention, growing referrals, and a shift from transactional relationships to long-term strategic partnerships. In cybersecurity, trust is the product – and Threatsys is earning it. 

Africa. UAE. Europe. What’s Next?
Threatsys didn’t just grow – it went global. The company successfully launched its new office and subsidiary in Dubai, gaining a commanding foothold in the Middle East’s rapidly growing cybersecurity market. Simultaneously, a strategic collaboration with Romania, France opened the doors to European enterprise engagements – a region where data protection mandates and cybersecurity compliance are reaching new levels of urgency. Two new continents. One financial year. That’s the Threatsys growth story.

The AI Revolution Is Coming – And Threatsys Is Leading It
FY 2026 will mark a defining moment for the company — and potentially for the Indian cybersecurity industry. Threatsys is gearing up to launch Threatsys AI, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform built around two flagship solutions:

•  GRC 360 — An AI-enhanced governance, risk, and compliance platform that automates what once took teams weeks.

•  CYQER — A next-generation cybersecurity intelligence engine that identifies and responds to threats in real time.

Together, these solutions are designed to flip the script on conventional security – moving organizations from reactive damage control to proactive, always-on risk management. In a world where a single breach can cost millions and destroy reputations overnight, that shift is not optional. It’s existential.

₹50 Crore and Beyond: The Next Milestone
Threatsys enters FY 2026 with ambition that matches its momentum. The company has set a clear, public target: surpassing ₹50 crore in revenue within 2-3 years – achieved through continued international expansion, the full rollout of AI-powered solutions, deeper enterprise partnerships, and sustained innovation in cybersecurity technologies. This is not a wish list. It’s a roadmap backed by a track record.

The company’s strategic focus remains centered on AI-driven cybersecurity innovation, global expansion, and cybersecurity talent development. Through Threatsys Academy and Global Institute of Information Security, the group is actively working to bridge the global cybersecurity skills gap by training professionals, empowering students, and supporting initiatives such as women in cybersecurity and free training programs for schools.

As Threatsys continues to scale new heights, it proudly represents the vision of “Made in India” innovation powering global cybersecurity resilience. Built in India and now expanding across continents, Threatsys stands as a testament to the country’s growing leadership in advanced technology and cyber defense. With a mission rooted in taking Indian cybersecurity excellence to the world, the company is driving a powerful narrative – from India to global – delivering world-class, AI-driven security solutions that protect organizations, economies, and digital ecosystems worldwide.

New Delhi [India], April 09: India’s development journey is increasingly being shaped by sustainability-focused public sector reforms. As climate risks, resource constraints, and rapid urbanization create new challenges, government institutions are rethinking how policies and operations can align with long-term environmental and economic goals. Across sectors such as food security, infrastructure, transportation, and energy, sustainability is no longer seen as an optional initiative but as a structural necessity for national growth. India currently ranks among the fastest-growing major economies, while also facing rising energy demand, urban expansion, and climate pressures, factors that make sustainable governance essential. In this evolving landscape, Sudeep Singh, Former FCI Director, highlights how sustainability-driven governance can strengthen India’s public systems while supporting inclusive development.

“Sustainability must move from policy intent to operational reality,” says Sudeep Singh, Former Director of Food Corporation of India (FCI). “Public sector institutions should integrate renewable energy adoption, efficient logistics, and environmentally responsible infrastructure into everyday governance. When sustainability becomes embedded into planning, procurement, and delivery, it strengthens both economic resilience and long-term development outcomes.”

His perspective reflects India’s growing commitment to sustainable development. India has pledged to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030 (from 2005 levels) and achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, while also targeting 50% cumulative electric power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. The country has already made significant progress, with over 180 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, including solar, wind, and hydro. Additionally, India has launched more than 30 sustainability-focused government schemes, covering clean energy, sustainable agriculture, green mobility, and climate-resilient infrastructure. These initiatives demonstrate how sustainability is becoming central to India’s public sector planning and execution.

According to Sudeep Singh, renewable energy integration across public institutions is one of the most impactful steps toward sustainable governance. Government-run facilities, logistics networks, and infrastructure projects consume significant energy, making them ideal starting points for renewable adoption. Solar installations on warehouses, energy-efficient storage systems, and electrified transportation networks can reduce operational costs while lowering carbon emissions. For example, Indian Railways—the world’s fourth-largest rail network—has committed to becoming a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030, while government buildings across states are increasingly adopting rooftop solar systems to reduce grid dependency.

India’s sustainability push is already visible through initiatives supporting green manufacturing, clean mobility, and renewable power generation. Programs such as the FAME India Scheme promote electric vehicle adoption, while the National Solar Mission continues to drive solar capacity growth. Government investments in green infrastructure have also expanded, including funding allocations for sustainable urban development and clean manufacturing. India’s transport electrification efforts, renewable energy expansion, and sustainable infrastructure planning are helping institutions reduce environmental impact while improving operational efficiency. These efforts align with broader national commitments to sustainable growth and climate-resilient development.

“Sustainability in the public sector is also about operational efficiency,” notes Sudeep Singh, FCI. “Energy-efficient infrastructure, renewable integration, and responsible resource management can significantly reduce long-term costs while improving service delivery.” This approach highlights how environmental responsibility and economic efficiency can work together. By adopting renewable energy and resource-efficient practices, public sector institutions can reduce operational risks and improve financial sustainability.

Another key element is the importance of aligning policies with measurable sustainability outcomes. India’s development agenda already integrates sustainability across multiple national programs. NITI Aayog’s SDG mapping has aligned over 100 central government schemes with Sustainable Development Goals, covering areas such as climate action, sustainable agriculture, clean energy, and infrastructure development. However, effective implementation depends on data-driven governance and institutional accountability.

Government agencies are increasingly adopting digital platforms, performance dashboards, and analytics-based decision-making to monitor sustainability goals. Initiatives such as digital monitoring of energy consumption, smart logistics planning, and climate-risk analytics are helping departments measure outcomes more effectively. India’s push toward digital governance has already resulted in large-scale adoption of technology-enabled monitoring systems across sectors, including food distribution, infrastructure planning, and public procurement.

“Data is the backbone of sustainable reforms,” says Sudeep Singh. “When institutions track performance through measurable indicators, sustainability transitions become structured, transparent, and scalable.”

India’s policy ecosystem already supports such an approach. National development frameworks and SDG-linked schemes encourage integration between economic growth and environmental priorities. Through coordinated planning between central and state governments, sustainability goals can be implemented more effectively across sectors. Additionally, initiatives under the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) are supporting policy coherence and coordination between national and sub-national sustainability efforts.

Sustainable public sector reforms also depend on institutional accountability. Sudeep Singh, Former FCI Director, believes that governance systems must evolve to incorporate sustainability benchmarks in decision-making. This includes procurement guidelines prioritizing eco-friendly solutions, infrastructure development aligned with environmental standards, and operational policies that encourage resource optimization.

India’s sustainability initiatives already emphasize green urban planning, renewable energy deployment, and electrified transportation. Government investments in green infrastructure, including sustainable mobility and renewable energy projects, aim to balance rapid economic growth with ecological responsibility. These reforms are positioning India as a global leader in sustainable development while strengthening long-term resilience.

Sustainability-driven reforms are not just about environmental responsibility but also about economic resilience. Public sector institutions play a critical role in shaping national development, and sustainable governance can enhance productivity, reduce operational costs, and improve service efficiency. Green growth strategies are also expected to generate millions of new jobs in renewable energy, clean transportation, and sustainable infrastructure sectors.

As India continues its journey toward becoming a global economic powerhouse, sustainability-driven public sector reforms are becoming increasingly important. By embedding sustainability into public sector planning and execution, India can enhance resilience, improve efficiency, and ensure long-term growth. Through strategic reforms and responsible governance, sustainability can become a cornerstone of India’s development agenda, supporting economic progress while safeguarding environmental resources for future generations.
