As the Bharat CXO Drive continued across India, Jaipur became the next meeting point for cybersecurity leaders and technology decision-makers.
CXO Junction, in association with Netpoleon Bharat and its esteemed partners, Exabeam, Infoblox and BMC Helix brought the second chapter of the Netpoleon Bharat CXO Drive to Ahmedabad, bringing together cybersecurity leaders and technology decision-makers for an evening of conversations, perspectives and peer exchange around the challenges shaping enterprise security today.
With every city, the conversation continues to evolve, bringing new perspectives, experiences and insights to the Bharat CXO Drive journey.
Across every stop of the Bharat CXO Drive, one thing has remained constant: security leaders are navigating an environment where the volume of information keeps growing, the threat landscape keeps evolving and the pressure to make the right decisions, quickly, has never been greater.
Jaipur brought those realities back to the table.
And once again, the conversation moved beyond technology alone.

After Pune opened the conversation around visibility and signals, Mumbai took it further into intelligence and automation, and Ahmedabad explored another dimension of the evolving security landscape, Jaipur continued the conversation with fresh perspectives from security and technology leaders.
The Jaipur chapter featured Adil Bagga, Channel Manager – SAARC, Infoblox; Manjunath Kanchugar, Senior Solutions Engineer, Exabeam; Poonam Yadav, Regional Sales Manager, Exabeam; Hiten Radhanpura, Product Security Specialist – SAARC, Presales, Infoblox; and Tushar Varshney, Senior Solutions Engineer, BMC Helix, with the discussions moderated by Iqbal Qureshi, AVP & CMO Advisor, CXO Junction.
The questions had travelled. The conversation had grown.
Security and technology leaders came to the table with different experiences and priorities, but a familiar challenge remained: how do organisations bring visibility, intelligence and action together to make faster and better-informed security decisions?
The Jaipur chapter built on the conversations that came before it — bringing together fresh perspectives on how organisations can connect different security capabilities, strengthen their understanding of risk and respond more effectively in an evolving security environment.
The conversation continued to move beyond individual technologies, towards the larger question of how security leaders can bring people, processes and technology together to navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.
The exchange extended beyond the formal discussion, with leaders sharing perspectives, experiences and the challenges shaping their own organisations.
A room full of leaders. One table. A conversation that keeps growing with every city.
The journey continued to take shape through people, perspectives and conversations.
The evening also carried forward the Offensive vs Defensive Challenge, bringing the same competitive edge to the Jaipur chapter that has become a key part of the Bharat CXO Drive journey.
CXOs stepped into the challenge, taking on offensive and defensive scenarios that called for strategic thinking, quick decisions and the ability to respond under pressure.
By the end of the Jaipur round, the next set of finalists had emerged.
🔴 Offensive Champion — ABHRAJIT DE – EVP & Digital Advisor, Genus Power Infrastructures Ltd.
🔵 Defensive Champion — SHAILESH TRIPATHI – GM IT, Laxmi India Finance Ltd.
The Jaipur finalists will meet again at the Final Showdown, alongside the finalists from Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and the cities still to come.
