I don’t care how long it took,  I am glad that I never gave up.

#EMudhra TLS incident is a wake-up call for Internet security. Weak CA private keys can put communication at risk. What if we could eliminate key exchange altogether? Pantherun’s Stealth AES removes the need for key exchange, addressing a critical attack surface in data encryption. It’s time to rethink how we secure data in transit. #Pantherun #CyberSecurity #TLS #Encryption #CyberAttack

Most companies still believe their EDR, XDR, firewall, or Zero Trust stack will save them. It won’t. Not anymore. Because today, hackers don’t break in. They log in.

A mature DRPS looks where traditional tools never do: Dark web forums Credential dumps Fake domains and apps Brand impersonation on social platforms And not just alerts but real takedowns.

If your security is strong inside but blind outside, you’re fighting half a battle. Visibility beyond the perimeter is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s survival. DRPS is the new frontline of cyber defence.

Products don’t fail because they lack features.   They fail because they don’t solve a real problem well enough.

1995: Launched Quick Heal. No one bought it. 
1996: Couldn't hire engineers. They all went offshore. 
1997: No funding. No investors. No bank support. 
1998: Lost all developers. Worked solo in R&D. 
1999: Dealers refused to sell an Indian antivirus. 
1999: Approached companies for acquisition. Rejected. Every reason to quit. Every challenge telling us to stop. But then a user’s feedback: "𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘕𝘊 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴. 𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥. 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘹𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴." That was enough to keep going. By 2010, Quick Heal became India’s No.1 antivirus. 
For 15+ years, it has led the market. Today, its market cap stands at over ₹1600 Crores ($186M USD). I don’t care how long it took.
I’m just glad we never gave up. To every entrepreneur struggling today:
Persistence wins. Keep going.

Early-stage investing means saying NO 100 times to say YES to the right opportunity. Back in June 2024, I saw something special in Pantherun Technologies and Srini. Fast forward—AMD & Intel are now integrating their encryption IP! Exciting times ahead. 🚀 Congrats, Srini & team!   #Cybersecurity #Encryption
