Episode Overview
The sixth episode of Crafting Bharat – Season 3 features Jaydeep Ruparelia, Founder & CEO of Infopercept, in conversation with host Gautam Srinivasan, a consulting editor at CNBC (India), CNN‑News18, Forbes India and The Economic Times. The series, presented by AWS Startups and produced by NewsReach in partnership with HT Smartcast, aims to showcase the resilience and growth blueprint of India’s super‑startups.
Infopercept’s Cybersecurity Vision
Ruparelia outlines how the cybersecurity landscape is being reshaped by increasingly sophisticated threats, accelerated cloud adoption and the growing complexity of digital infrastructures. He argues that enterprises are moving away from fragmented security tools toward integrated, outcome‑driven platforms that consolidate, automate and proactively manage threats.
The “Invinsense” Platform
Infopercept’s flagship product, named Invinsense, is described as a unified cybersecurity platform that integrates 25 distinct security technologies across offensive, defensive and compliance domains. The platform is modular, allowing customers to address a wide range of security gaps through a single solution. Ruparelia notes that earlier customers typically required more than 43 separate cybersecurity technologies, a complexity that Invinsense eliminates.
Company Evolution and Entrepreneurial Journey
Ruparelia recounts his personal trajectory from a network security engineer to CTO within eight years, followed by nearly 11 years of bootstrapping Infopercept. The firm began as a security systems integrator (SI) and transitioned to a product‑centric startup in 2019, marking a shift from services to intellectual‑property‑driven offerings. He credits conviction, mentorship (with weekly guidance from a senior mentor) and learning from global platform leaders in Israel and the United States as critical to this evolution.
Strategic Partnership with AWS
The partnership with Amazon Web Services dates back to 2016, when Infopercept onboarded its first fintech customer on the AWS platform. Over the subsequent five years, the collaboration deepened, leading to Infopercept attaining AWS Advanced Consulting Partner status. During the COVID‑19 period, AWS engineering teams engaged closely with Infopercept, providing cloud credits that enabled extensive testing and development of the Invinsense platform. The relationship later evolved into an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partnership within the AWS ecosystem. Ruparelia quotes, “Cybersecurity is not about more technology; it is about integrating and maximizing the value of what already exists.”
Key Takeaways for the Indian Startup Ecosystem
Ruparelia emphasizes three lessons: conviction drives entrepreneurial success; mentorship provides essential guidance; and transitioning from a services model to a platform product requires building scalable intellectual property. He also highlights the importance of leveraging cloud partners like AWS to accelerate product development and market reach.
