Why This Conversation Matters

India’s digital economy is being redefined by a new wave of cloud-native companies that are building and scaling entirely on modern digital infrastructure. Across sectors such as fintech, quick commerce, mobility, gaming, and digital services, these businesses are operating at massive speed and scale — running containerised workloads, microservices, serverless applications and real-time data environments. As they power millions of transactions, users and decisions every day, they have emerged as one of the most dynamic and data-intensive segments of the economy.

But this scale and agility also come with a new class of risk. Cloud-native environments are inherently more distributed, fast-changing and interconnected, making them harder to secure and recover. Ephemeral workloads, API-led architectures, complex service dependencies and rapid release cycles have significantly expanded the attack surface, while conventional disaster recovery models remain poorly suited to these environments. For digital-first enterprises, cyber resilience now requires a more modern approach — one that combines data protection, threat detection, recovery assurance and cross-cloud readiness.

Against this backdrop, The Resilience Circle – Building Cyber Resilience & Safe AI for India’s Digital Economy is being convened as a closed-door leadership dialogue for India’s leading digital-native organisations. Hosted by IndiaTech.org with Tech Observer Magazine in partnership with Veeam Software, the roundtable will bring together CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, VP-Engineering, AppSec Heads, and infrastructure leaders for a practitioner-led exchange on how to build resilient digital operations and adopt AI safely in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

What We’ll Discuss

Strategic pillars, each designed to address the most pressing security, data protection and cyber resilience challenges facing the sector today.

01

Ransomware Readiness for Cloud-Native Stacks

  • Preparing for ransomware attacks targeting containerised workloads, API gateways, and distributed databases
  • Incident response when infrastructure is ephemeral and multi-cloud
  • Aligning resilience with rapid deployment environments
  • Designing for failure, not just prevention
02

Immutable Backup & Recovery Strategies

  • Moving beyond traditional backup to immutable and air-gapped recovery points
  • Ransomware-proof backup architecture
  • Protecting data even when admin credentials are compromised
  • Recovery design for cloud-native operations
03

Disaster Recovery for Kubernetes & Microservices

  • Protecting persistent volumes, secrets, config state, and service dependencies
  • DR for containerised and orchestrated workloads
  • Recovery across clusters and hybrid architectures
  • Recovery planning for stateless + stateful systems together
04

AI-Driven Threat Detection & Cleanroom Recovery

  • AI-powered malware analysis and adversary detection
  • Cleanroom validation before restoring to production
  • Detecting anomalies early in backup and recovery workflows
  • Ensuring recovered environments are actually clean
05

Compliance, Portability & Resilience Culture

  • DPDP alignment and auditable protection architectures
  • Multi-cloud portability and reducing lock-in
  • Embedding cyber resilience into engineering and SRE culture
  • Building resilience into CI/CD and platform design
06

Recovery Time & Recovery Point Objectives (RTO/RPO) at Scale

  • How to achieve near-zero RPO across physical, virtual, and cloud workloads
  • Using Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and automated failover orchestration for aggressive SLAs
  • Prioritising Tier 1 service recovery for business-critical digital platforms
  • Designing restore workflows that are fast, validated, and production-ready
