About Pragya

Built by Practitioners.
Run by Practitioners.

We are not a consultancy that studied cybersecurity. We are a firm built by people who have delivered it inside major corporations — and who remain actively involved in every engagement we take on.

Our Story

Where We
Come From

Pragya Cyber was founded by practitioners — professionals who spent decades delivering security programmes inside major corporations, not consultants who studied them from the outside.

We saw a gap: mid-market companies were either overpaying for enterprise firms that treated them as small accounts, or taking their chances with generalist IT providers who lacked real security depth.

We set out to change that. A firm that delivers to big-four standards, charges like a boutique, and never loses sight of who is actually doing the work.

Philosophy

Our Founding
Philosophy

Four principles that have defined Pragya since day one — and that every client experiences directly, not just reads about on a website.

01
Practitioner-Led, Always

Our founders remain actively involved in delivery, not just sales. When you engage Pragya, you are buying the judgment and accountability of people who have spent careers in this field.

02
Quality Over Volume

We deliberately limit the number of active engagements so every client receives senior attention. Every deliverable is reviewed at the founding team level before it leaves Pragya.

03
Honest, Actionable Work

We do not produce reports that sit in a drawer. Every assessment is built around findings you can act on, prioritised by real business risk — not CVSS scores alone.

04
No Account Managers

You speak to the people doing the work. When something matters, you call a founder. That is the Pragya model — and it never changes.

Venugopal Narasimhan
Co-Founder & CTO
Venugopal Narasimhan

Venu is a technology evangelist with 24+ years of industry experience spanning enterprise security, SAP platforms, and OT/IoT environments. At SAP, he delivered across NetWeaver, HANA, Mobility, and Leonardo — developing an unusually deep understanding of how enterprise software is built and, therefore, how it can be broken. At Check Point, he headed the security engineering team for India and SAARC, advising the region's largest organisations on network, cloud, and endpoint defence.

At Pragya, Venu leads the technical capability — from service methodology to product architecture. His experience across banking, telecom, manufacturing, and utilities means clients get solutions that work in their specific environment, not just in theory.

Delivery Model

How We
Work

Every Pragya engagement follows a delivery standard that we hold ourselves to — not just a methodology document clients never see.

  • 01
    Named accountabilityYou always know who is working on your account. No black-box delivery teams, no anonymous analysts.
  • 02
    Written scope firstWe provide a written scope of work before any engagement begins. No scope creep surprises, no retrospective disputes.
  • 03
    Plain-English reportingReports are plain-English first, technical appendix second. Your board can read them, not just your CISO.
  • 04
    Expert access between deliverablesIf you have a question, you reach an expert — not a ticket number. We are available throughout the engagement.
  • 05
    Big-four quality, boutique pricingWe benchmark our quality against the world's leading consulting standards — and we charge for a boutique firm.
