We have started to achieve product market fit for our new product lines and have onboarded new customers for the same. I am extremely proud to mention that we have become the first and only Indian company to collaborate with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) National Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence (NCCoE) for the data classification project. NIST-NCCoE is a US government organisation focused on cybersecurity.” he added.

Mr. Navin Sharma, Chief Financial Officer, Quick Heal Technologies Limited, said, “We are a mix of two businesses, Enterprise and consumer. The Enterprise business is showing great momentum in a market which is very large and also exciting. Even while there has been a degrowth in consumer business, we continue to invest in R&D and S&M for our long term success. As communicated earlier, in the short term, the consumer business might be under pressure due to temporary reduction in consumption but is deemed to revive. We are taking several initiatives towards optimization of our cost, which have started to show early success. We are excited and prepared for the year to come “ he said.
