CoinDCX, India’s leading and most valued crypto company, has appointed Sridhar Govardhan as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to further strengthen its cyber security capabilities. Sridhar was most recently the VP and Head of Information Security at Flipkart, an Indian e-commerce startup acquired by Walmart for $16 billion in December 2018, CoinDCX said in a statement shared with Super Crypto News.
In his new role at CoinDCX, Sridhar will be instrumental in developing, expanding, and maintaining CoinDCX’s superior security technologies, which will give its customers a seamless and secure trading experience.
“He will lead CoinDCX’s information security policies and governance procedures as well as drive an all-encompassing programme for data protection that will support development, research, and administrative information systems and technology… He will also help build an effective Cyber Security Framework (NIST) for the organisation,” the PR said.
In his previous stints at Flipkart, Wipro, and Infosys, Sridhar has been instrumental in leading organizational efforts in creating self-defensible networks that align with information security governance. He has been responsible for identifying and addressing potential risks and threats and alleviating them through business solutions. He brings his immense knowledge from the IT business to the future of the internet, establishing more confidence and trust within the larger crypto and web3 space.
Sridhar has completed his M.Tech. from BITS and pursued the Growth Harbinger Program from Harvard Business School, CoinDCX said.
Last month, CoinDCX launched an Educational Roadshow called Namaste Web3.
