As a true visionary, his strategic business approach has continuously produced significant business value for Quick Heal in the form of financial performance, customer satisfaction, market share and productivity. His strong commitment to operational excellence, an innovative approach to business problems, and an aptitude for partnering cross-functionally has made Quick Heal the most preferred consumer security solutions brand. In 2015, the company successfully forayed into enterprise cybersecurity with the launch of the brand 'Seqrite'.

Recently, Quick Heal transformed the consumer cybersecurity in a whole new category by launching India’s First Fraud Prevention Solution AntiFraud.AI. His brainchild, Quick Heal Foundation, functions in the areas of community welfare, education and creating awareness around cybersecurity.
