RogueSMG

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.

"eChai isn’t just a startup community … it’s a mindset . eChai has been one of the most impactful communities in my entrepreneurial journey. It’s been a turning point . In a world where building something can often feel isolating, eChai gave me a sense of belonging. I’ve found mentors, collaborators, and friends here — people who genuinely want to see you succeed. It’s a space where ideas are challenged, actions are celebrated, and founders grow not just in scale, but in clarity and confidence. From late-night ideas to early-morning pitches, this community has quietly but powerfully shaped the way I build, think, and dream. I’ll always be grateful for the way eChai creates spaces where founders don’t just grow businesses — they grow together."
