Co-Founder, Barracks Technologies

Satyam Gothi, known as 'RogueSMG', is a security professional and entrepreneur pioneering a fundamental paradigm shift in how Human expertise in Cybersecurity is measured, cultivated, and valued.

His journey through the trenches of Bug Bounty hunting and professional Penetration Testing revealed a critical flaw in the industry: the World was training for a game, not a war. He saw that static labs and certifications were creating a generation of professionals who knew the theory of a fight but had never been in one.

This realization led him to found Barracks.

Barracks is not just a training platform; it is the first step in Satyam's mission to create the new gold standard for validating Infosec Talent. His vision is to build an ecosystem where a professional's "Barracks Rank": a score based on provable, adaptive, hands-on skill; becomes more valuable to employers than any traditional certification.

He is building the definitive platform for the entire InfoSec lifecycle: from forging elite Offensive operators and Battle-ready defenders to empowering DevSecOps teams. For Businesses, Barracks is the answer to the multi-million dollar gamble of Hiring, Internal Training and Hands-on Training Partner for Edtech Platforms, providing a data-driven way to identify and cultivate top-tier talent.

Satyam isn't just building a company. He's building the future of how we trust Human skill in a digital world, especially in this "AI can handle it" Era.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai is playing biggest role in my personal and professional life together. Its a community where i meet like minded people to share idea and learn from their idea. Even while playing cricket i learn something and i implement something new from that learning. Its my entry point for building network in different countries where my base is not established yet. Personally my only fun activity day in a week is eChai cricket and social."
