What we build
IQWorks is an AI-native platform for privacy, compliance and cyber governance. It finds personal data across an enterprise estate, classifies it, and runs the compliance work that follows.
The short version
I had the privilege of spending over eight years in privacy and cyber strategy consulting, most recently as an Associate Director at Deloitte, and before that at KPMG and EY. The experience of consulting 100+ clients in milestone privacy projects since GDPR went live in 2018 - allowed me the opportunity to understand how a data protection regulation enters, changes and matures in today's markets. After seeing the rollout of various privacy laws in more than ten countries, the key issues we found were the same - the lack of process and technology implementation.
After countless gap reports, DPIAs, remediation plans, policy frameworks and board presentations, the one resounding challenge faced by most organizations: was the lack of strong technology solutions and a knowledgeable partner that can help collaborate with the internal teams to get the readiness state to an audit-ready stage.
At IQWorks, we are building offerings to be outcome-oriented: by pouring our industry knowledge into our products and execution experience into our implementation services. The results have made us one of India's fastest growing platforms with our sights set to support clients mature their privacy practices at a rapid pace.

What I spend my time on
Partnerships and alliances
Consulting firms, system integrators and advisory practices who deliver privacy programmes and want a platform underneath them instead of another spreadsheet. I came from that side, so I know what a delivery team needs.
Enterprise accounts
Privacy, legal and security teams from the first conversation through to a deployment that is genuinely in use, across India and the Gulf. DPDP here, PDPL there, GDPR wherever the customers are.
Evidence an auditor accepts
Lead Auditor certified across privacy, security and continuity management. Most programmes come apart on what can be shown, so I push that question early.
Where to go next
