Operant AI, a Silicon Valley-based real-time cybersecurity for AI applications plans to enter India. This move indicates growing investment in India’s cybersecurity infrastructure and access to advanced AI-driven security solutions.

Silicon Valley-based Operant AI, specialising in AI protection, is entering the Indian market with its product suite and will be growing its team in the country.

Vrajesh Bhavsar, Operant’s CEO and co-founder said, “We are starting with a few key hires and plan to expand on the go-to-market function for supporting our customers and also expand the engineering team”.

According to Bhavsar, Operant AI provides immediate security for cloud environments including the complete infrastructure that supports AI applications. This real-time protection extends to preventing critical threats such as data exfiltration which is a prevailing concern within AI systems.

Bhavsar said, “One of the key capabilities that we’re able to do is redact private data while running the data that they need, through whatever model they want”.

Backed by $13.5 million from investors including Felicis and Sinewave, Operant AI, founded in San Francisco in 2021, is expanding into India. This expansion represents a return to where it all began for co-founders Vrajesh Bhavsar and Priyanka Tembey (CTO), whose engineering careers started in Gujarat and Pune, leading them to prominent roles in AI security at Apple, ARM, and VMWare.
