From Network Admin to Cybersecurity CEO
Three decades of protecting what matters — one organization at a time
My journey in technology started in 1993, long before “cybersecurity” was a recognized field. I began as a network administrator — configuring routers, switches, and the early internet infrastructure that was just beginning to connect the world.
The SQL Slammer worm of 2003 was my wake-up call. I watched a single piece of malware bring global networks to their knees in minutes. That’s when I realized: security isn’t a feature — it’s everything.
In 2002, I co-founded P J Networks Pvt. Ltd. — starting with firewall deployments and growing into a full-spectrum managed security services provider with 24/7 NOC/SOC operations. Today, we protect 1,000+ organizations across 50+ countries.
I’m a Fortinet MSSP Level Partner, Cisco Partner, Dell Technologies Partner, and HPE Aruba Partner — but more importantly, I’m someone who’s been in the trenches, solving real security problems for real businesses.
