I don’t care how long it took,  I am glad that I never gave up.

If your security is strong inside but blind outside, you’re fighting half a battle. Visibility beyond the perimeter is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s survival. DRPS is the new frontline of cyber defence.

A mature DRPS looks where traditional tools never do: Dark web forums Credential dumps Fake domains and apps Brand impersonation on social platforms And not just alerts but real takedowns.

Most companies still believe their EDR, XDR, firewall, or Zero Trust stack will save them. It won’t. Not anymore. Because today, hackers don’t break in. They log in.

Products don’t fail because they lack features.   They fail because they don’t solve a real problem well enough.

@ImvmPatil Thank you.

1995: Launched Quick Heal. No one bought it. 
1996: Couldn't hire engineers. They all went offshore. 
1997: No funding. No investors. No bank support. 
1998: Lost all developers. Worked solo in R&D. 
1999: Dealers refused to sell an Indian antivirus. 
1999: Approached companies for acquisition. Rejected. Every reason to quit. Every challenge telling us to stop. But then a user’s feedback: "𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘕𝘊 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴. 𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥. 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘪𝘹𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴." That was enough to keep going. By 2010, Quick Heal became India’s No.1 antivirus. 
For 15+ years, it has led the market. Today, its market cap stands at over ₹1600 Crores ($186M USD). I don’t care how long it took.
I’m just glad we never gave up. To every entrepreneur struggling today:
Persistence wins. Keep going.

@aninditagmishra Thank you so much for your kind words. Building a product was my dream since I was doing graduation.

@sanjaykatkar Being an ex-Punekar, I am well aware of your struggles and growth. I was socproud an Indian company was making waves in the cybersecurity sector. Congratulations on persevering and making your dream happen.

@sameerlove4u2 Quick Heal is founded by Kailash (my elder brother) and myself. Thank you for your kind words. It really means a lot.

@sanjaykatkar I read somewhere that you used to write antivirus for your brother when it was CAT. But nonetheless it was one of the best antivirus and I could not afford it but I will keep installing the trial versions because while other antivirus would delete the virus infected files 1/2

@SantoshLearner For now no. Quick Heal is not into Encryption related business for now. This investment is on the personal front.

@sanjaykatkar Any Benifit for quick heal sir ? @sanjaykatkar sir

Early-stage investing means saying NO 100 times to say YES to the right opportunity. Back in June 2024, I saw something special in Pantherun Technologies and Srini. Fast forward—AMD & Intel are now integrating their encryption IP! Exciting times ahead. 🚀 Congrats, Srini & team!   #Cybersecurity #Encryption
