About Jagannadha Kishore Paravastu

I work at the intersection of compliance, risk, and execution — helping organisations move from regulatory intent to operational reality.Over the years, I’ve seen compliance fail not because teams don’t care, but because ownership is unclear, evidence is fragmented, and execution relies too heavily on manual, ad-hoc processes.As Co-Founder at Assurtiv, I’m focused on building execution-first, AI-powered GRC solutions that help teams operationalize privacy, security, and risk — without slowing down the business.My work involves translating regulatory expectations into practical systems: controls that can be monitored, evidence that can be validated, and risks that can actually inform decisions.I’ve worked hands-on with global data protection frameworks such as GDPR, and with adapting those principles to the Indian regulatory landscape — particularly as organisations prepare for DPDPA.I’m especially interested in:• Operationalizing privacy & compliance• Evidence-based governance• Risk-driven audits and decision-making• Building GRC platforms that scale with regulationAlways open to exchanging notes with founders, compliance leaders, vCISOs, and operators navigating growing regulatory complexity.
