India's cybersecurity ecosystem has witnessed transformative growth over the past decade, evolving into the world's third-largest product ecosystem after the U.S. and Israel.

This session explores how national policy frameworks, public-private partnerships, and a vibrant research and development pipeline are fueling innovation.

• Government initiatives, including the cybersecurity grand challenge and National Centers of Excellence;
• Opportunities and challenges in startup adoption within critical infrastructure;
• Strategies to convert academic research into commercial cybersecurity products;
• Policy and regulatory directions creating new tech-driven use cases.
