The Dhruva jury is independent by design.
The first person we are proud to introduce is Vinayak Godse.
Vinayak is the Chief Executive Officer of the Data Security Council of India, a nasscom initiative and India's national body for data security and privacy protection. He has spent 17+ years shaping how Indian organisations approach data governance, compliance, and security at a systemic level.
Any startup selected through Dhruva will be handling infrastructure at scale. Vinayak ensures that governance and data security readiness are evaluated with the same rigour as technical capability.
Four more jury members to be announced over the coming days.

Building a credible jury means going beyond industry. It means bringing in the people who have spent careers deciding which startups are genuinely ready.
The second person we are proud to introduce is Dr.Lakshmi Jagannathan.
Dr.Lakshmi Jagannathan is CEO of the Innovation Center and Executive Vice President of the COMET Foundation at IIIT Bangalore. Her work sits at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and institution building, with a focus on creating impact that scales.
Her cross-sector perspective ensures that Dhruva evaluations go beyond what a startup claims to what it can actually deliver.

We asked everyone the same question today.
The answers were all different. But they all pointed to the same thing.
Happy Mother's Day from the VergeCloud team.

HTTP is the protocol the entire web is built on.
It was designed to transfer information. Not to protect it.
That is where HTTPS comes in. Install an SSL certificate on your website and every conversation between your server and your users becomes encrypted. Passwords, form data, payment details. None of it travels as readable text anymore.
Google has been flagging websites without it as Not Secure since 2018.
We broke down exactly how it works and why it matters for anyone running a website today.

Password security is one of those areas where the science moved and the habits did not. Today felt like the right day to close that gap a little.

5 password myths. Still in active circulation in 2026.
Most people reading this have followed at least three of them. Some were taught by their IT teams. Some came from official policy documents. One came from a set of rules that the person who wrote them later regretted publicly.
