As 2025 draws to a close, it leaves behind a year that reshaped how Indian enterprises understand vulnerability, resilience and strategic preparedness. This was the year when risk ceased to be a category and became a continuum. Corporate India confronted a series of shocks that were not extraordinary in isolation, but deeply consequential because of…
For much of corporate history, liquidity risk was understood in traditional financial terms. It reflected access to funding, exposure to market volatility or the ability to roll over debt in stressed conditions. Treasury operations, while important, were rarely viewed as sources of systemic fragility. That assumption no longer holds. The shift to real-time payments, digitised…
For much of the past three decades, supply chain risk was treated as an efficiency problem. Optimise sourcing, minimise inventory, compress transit times. Resilience was assumed to follow scale and globalisation. Recent years have dismantled that belief. Across the world, climate volatility, geopolitical realignment and corridor concentration are reshaping how risk manifests in supply chains….
In discussions on digital resilience, cybersecurity is frequently framed as a technical discipline, the domain of firewalls, encryption protocols, endpoint monitoring and incident response playbooks. Yet the closing argument made by Dr. Alby John Varghese IAS, CEO, Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency at a recent cybersecurity conference organised by Amanha Idealabs in Chennai, points to a…
The contemporary risk landscape has evolved into a dense web of interdependent vulnerabilities rather than a collection of isolated threats. Across large corporates, financial institutions, mid-market entities and MSMEs, the same structural reality holds true: disruptions no longer remain confined to one domain. They spread rapidly across financial systems, supply chains, digital networks and geopolitical…
The Indian reinsurance market is entering a moment that feels both precarious and promising. It sits at the intersection of rapidly rising exposures, evolving regulation and a deepening demand for protection across sectors that are expanding faster than the risk-transfer capacity designed to support them. The characteristics that make the Indian economy a global outlier…
For more than a decade, the migration to cloud infrastructure has been framed as an inevitable step in modernising Indian enterprises. The logic appeared persuasive: move to the cloud, reduce capital expenditure, gain scalability and inherit the security sophistication of global hyperscalers. In India’s fast-digitising economy, where SMEs, government agencies and large corporates alike are…
India Inc is entering a phase in which the demands placed on leadership have changed faster than the leaders themselves. The pace of technological interdependence, regulatory tightening, financial volatility and operational fragility has accelerated to the point where risk preparedness is no longer a matter of good governance. It is a prerequisite for survival. The…
India’s accelerating digital adoption has brought with it an increasingly complex risk landscape, but one of the most revealing developments of recent months has not been a new strain of malware or a breakthrough in cyber-attack technology. It has been the surge in virtual arrest and impersonation scams, operations that rely less on sophisticated technical…
Space-based data centres, once a speculative concept, are now advancing toward operational experimentation. As artificial intelligence systems, financial networks, health-data architectures and national security platforms accelerate their demand for compute power, terrestrial infrastructure is nearing its limits. Global attention is shifting upward toward orbit, where a new class of resilient and energy-efficient compute environments is…
