Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], July 8: Accel is set to host India’s largest Cybersecurity Summit on July 25, 2024, in Bengaluru. To evangelise the early-stage cybersecurity startup ecosystem in India, this 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.
India’s cybersecurity landscape has seen remarkable growth. According to a report by the Data Security Council of India, the market reached approximately USD 6 billion in 2023, clocking a CAGR of over 30 per cent from 2019 to 2023. The products segment alone grew by more than 3.5x, reaching close to USD 3.7 billion in 2023 from USD 1 billion in 2019.
“India’s cybersecurity landscape is maturing quickly. 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. 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,” says Prayank Swaroop, Partner at Accel.
