Skillmine Technology Consulting : Steering Enterprises to Next Level With Utmost Security, Efficiency & Compliance
Ashwin Agrawal
Executive Director
If recent reports from Mordor Intelligence are to be believed, the Indian cybersecurity market which is currently worth $5.56 billion is projected to amount to $12.9 billion by 2030, growing at a staggering 18.33 percent. In this climate of heightened cyber risk and operational complexity, Skillmine Technology Consulting has steadily emerged as a trusted partner for enterprises seeking robust, intelligent and compliant digital ecosystems.
Based in Mumbai, Skillmine was founded way back in 2011 by Anant Agrawal (CEO & MD) with a vision to leverage cutting-edge technologies and build intelligent, scalable and resilient IT ecosystems that help businesses evolve in tandem with the changing industry dynamics.
Skillmine’s growth has been shaped by a culture of engineering excellence, innovation, and unwavering customer commitment. Starting with its first client in 2014, the company boasts of serving around 70-80 clients today across India, Middle East, Europe and US, of which close 50 organizations being its repeat customers – a strong testimony to Skillmine’s repute among the global tech community.
“Right from our inception, we have scaled our teams according to the needs of our customers. However, sourcing the right talent and retaining them, especially in today’s knowledge-based economy and fast-evolving tech landscape has been extremely challenging. Also, there is a need for a change in the market sentiment today, as many companies still look at IT as an additional expense rather than a business enabler”, says Agrawal, Executive Director, Skillmine Technology Consulting, throwing light on the key challenges that currently prevail in IT services industry.
360° Portfolio of Products & Services
Keeping in mind the fragmented IT ecosystems, siloed security controls, and disconnected data flows that slow down even the most ambitious enterprises, what inspires Skillmine every day is its rare blend of engineering depth, customer empathy, and product vision.
Across Digital Transformation, AI & Data, Cybersecurity, Cloud & Infrastructure, and Managed Skill Operations, the company has transformed from a services-first company into a product-engineered ecosystem solving real-world challenges around identity, governance, compliance, data intelligence, and workforce development.
Skillmine’s products are not built in labs; they are shaped by customer problems, regulatory demands, and years of hands-on experience across BFSI, Healthcare, Pharma, Manufacturing, e-Commerce, IT Services, PSU and Governance sectors. Within its Digital Transformation practice, Skillmine helps enterprises unlock efficiency through Hyperautomation, combining AI, ML, RPA, workflow orchestration and analytics to create interconnected, self-improving digital ecosystems.
Skillmine’s portfolio includes cutting-edge niche solutions such as Skillmine Auth, Complyment, DataV, and SkillZen. Deployable on cloud, on-premise or SaaS, Skillmine Auth is a unified, OIDC certified IAM platform delivering SSO, Adaptive/Passwordless MFA, RBAC/ABAC controls, JLM/ACM workflows, and ZeroTrust architecture. Similarly, Skillmine Com plyment is an AI-driven enterprise GRC & cyber governance platform supporting 50+ global standards, audits, vulnerability governance, unified compliance, evidence management, and real-time dashboards for regulated sectors.

Customer-centric Approach to Service Delivery – The USP
Always treating customer satisfaction as paramount, Skillmine leaves no stone unturned to ensure that its clients get the best quality service. In light of this, the company has embodied the ‘EVOLVE’ philosophy, wherein it ‘Empowers’ businesses with cutting-edge tech solutions, delivers tangible business ‘Value’, ‘Optimizes’ process for digital success, ‘Leads’ with innovation, deep domain expertise & futuristic approach, ‘Vision’ to share the future of enterprises, and ‘Excellence’ in maintaining highest quality standards.
Rather than just providing a fancy solution that is trending in the market, Skillmine closely engages with each client, gets a clear understanding of their problem statement, and accordingly suggests a solution that not only suits the client’s budget, size and industry, but can work seamlessly along with their existing systems & technologies.
Reminiscing a few memorable success stories, Ashwin elucidates, “For one of India’s top-3 banks who has been our customer right from our inception, we started-off with a simple work of deploying a few desktop support engineers. Today, we not only handle their entire network operations, but cater to their cybersecurity requirements as well. Similarly, an emerging fintech startup for which we started doing API documentation outsourced their complete product development work to us with just two months of engaging with us”.
Journey So Far, and Beyond
Till date, Skillmine has successfully catered to 500+ projects and boasts of an elite clientele comprising renowned names such as HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, American Express, Riyad Bank, Aster Hospital, Tesco, Bosch, Zee, Disney, and NPCI, to name a few. Given its exceptional track record and industry benchmark practices, the company has also been awarded for its ‘Excellence in Cybersecurity Innovation’ and ‘Excellence in Make in India Product Innovation’.
Having predominantly focused only on the private sector so far, Skillmine has bagged its first government project earlier this year and plans to further scale its operations in the public sector as well as foray into the Africa and Indo-Pacific markets in the days to come.
Further keeping in mind the new DPDP regulation that was rolled-out recently, Skillmine has integrated the same into its AI based GRC platform to help enterprises better understand and comply with the latest controls. Skillmine is also looking forward to combine manual assessment with the automation capabilities of its GRC tool so that businesses can derive maximum benefit from the platform. Additionally, it will also be soon comingup with a system pertaining to ISO 42001 compliance to focus around AI and is currently trying to educate businesses around this as well.
