Experience

1. Cybersecurity Risk Manager

   HDFC Bank Limited

   Nov 2025 — Present · Navi Mumbai, IN

   I work across multiple security teams within the Bank’s Information Security Group, where I support governance, regulatory compliance, threat intelligence, and security automation initiatives. My role includes supporting internal/external audits, preparing regulatory submissions, maintaining governance documentation, and delivering leadership dashboards that improve visibility into the Bank’s security posture- Alongside these responsibilities, I contribute to engineering in‑house cybersecurity platforms—ranging from ​automation systems to asset inventory solutions and RAG Applications for Governance and Compliance. Currently developing a custom AI‑driven Cyber Threat Intelligence Engine, which consolidates threat feeds, performs AI-based analysis, maps adversary behaviors to MITRE ATT & CK, and automatically generates structured advisories for SOC, Threat Hunting, and Senior leadership- My work blends cybersecurity engineering, automation, and threat‑informed analysis to enhance operational efficiency and intelligence-driven defense. I collaborate with teams across GRC, Threat Intel, SOC, and Security Engineering while continuing to grow toward a Security Architect pathway.
