For fifteen years, Chirag Goswami worked across four continents learning how the world’s most regulated organisations protect themselves. On April 6, he signed the deal that brings that knowledge to India’s mid-market.
When Chirag Goswami left India to build a career in global technology, he did not set out to come back with a cybersecurity company. He set out to learn how security actually works — not in theory, not in product catalogues, but in the operational reality of Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, and regulated financial institutions across ten countries.
What he learned, over fifteen years and approximately twenty-six technical certifications, is that most organisations get security wrong in exactly the same way. They buy products. They hire specialists. They layer solution on top of solution until the environment is too complex to audit and too fragmented to defend. The breach, when it comes, finds not a gap in any individual product, but the space between them.
On April 6, in Pune, Goswami formalised a strategic alliance with Ranjit Kulladhaja Mayengbam, Managing Director and Chairman of 3C IT Solutions and Telecoms (India) Limited. The combined entity will operate as 3CITS-Cybernara, positioning itself as India’s first security-focused Managed Service Provider: a single, accountable partner that builds and secures enterprise technology as an integrated engagement from the first conversation rather than the last.
For observers watching the India-Australia business corridor, the story of how this partnership came together matters as much as what it delivers.
Goswami’s professional career reads like a map of the world’s most demanding technology environments.
He worked on network security for Fortune 500 corporations. He advised government bodies in Australia on cybersecurity strategy. He worked with Bank of Queensland on banking infrastructure protection. He held senior roles at NEC Australia and Oracle and consulted for South Australia Health. In each environment, he saw the same structural failure: organisations with sophisticated technology stacks and no unified accountability for the risk sitting across them.
“A lot of companies still treat security as something to think about later. We see it differently. Security should be part of the first conversation. That is what makes this partnership meaningful. It brings together trust, execution, and real technical depth.”
– Chirag Goswami, Founder, Cybernara
That conviction became Cybernara, a 23-member specialist firm headquartered in Adelaide, with offices in Pune and Dubai, built around the premise that security must be woven into the infrastructure conversation from the outset, not added once the gaps have already been created. The firm holds ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2, GDPR, and CMMI Level 3 credentials. Its capabilities span managed SOC operations, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, cloud security architecture, identity and access management, compliance advisory, and a vCISO service for organisations that need strategic security leadership without the overhead of a permanent hire.
The question was whether that depth of capability could reach India’s mid-market at the scale it required — and whether there was a partner on the ground with the trust and the operational relationships to make it real. Mayengbam had been building exactly that for fourteen years.
3C IT Solutions, BSE-listed and operating from offices in Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Guwahati, and Manipur, maintains active enterprise relationships across healthcare, education, manufacturing, and government sectors. The company’s strength is exactly what Goswami’s firm needed: a partner whose clients already trust it, who has already been in the room when something went wrong, and who has earned the right to expand that conversation.
“For a long time, our customers have trusted us with important parts of their technology environment. This partnership allows us to take that trust further by bringing stronger security capability into the overall solution in a much bigger way.”
– Ranjit Kulladhaja Mayengbam, Managing Director and Chairman, 3C IT Solutions and Telecoms (India) Ltd.
The timing is not accidental. India’s regulatory environment has shifted the stakes considerably. CERT-In logged over 1.39 million cybersecurity incidents in a recent year. Its six-hour incident reporting mandate demands real-time visibility across the full technology stack. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, creates legal obligations that no single-layer vendor can meet in isolation. Sector-specific frameworks from RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI have collectively turned integrated security posture from a preference into a procurement requirement.
For Indian enterprises still managing IT and security through separate, unconnected providers, the alliance offers something the market has not had before: a single partner, accountable across the full lifecycle, with the global credentials to deliver it and the local presence to be held responsible for it.
“The multi-vendor IT model has failed the mid-market. It creates gaps, delays, and risk. 3CITS-Cybernara is built to replace that with a single, accountable, security-first approach.” – Hashyadeep Dave, CEO, 3CITS-Cybernara
The FY 2026-27 plan targets fifty new enterprise clients through a combined go-to-market programme and fifty premium strategic accounts through a dedicated engagement model. India’s government sector is a named priority, given its combination of legacy infrastructure and rising compliance pressure. The farming motion, expanding the security and cloud portfolio into 3C IT’s existing enterprise base, is designed to generate proof points for the integrated model from day one.
What the India-Australia dimension adds to this story is not simply a credential. It is fifteen years of working inside the security operations of some of the world’s most regulated industries — Australian healthcare, banking, government — and understanding, at a depth that cannot be acquired from a product manual, where the real exposure sits and how integrated defence actually gets built.
Goswami grew up in India. He built his expertise across four continents. He came back to deploy it at the scale of India’s enterprise market through a partnership with a company whose clients already trust the name on the door. That is not the story of an outsider arriving with foreign credentials. It is the story of globally-earned expertise applied locally, through a structure designed to make it work.
