Agenda:

eChai Ventures and Narad.io are hosting a focused meetup in Bengaluru for founders and operators navigating infosec and compliance in fast-growing startups.

We’ll unpack the real-world challenges around data security, regulatory frameworks (SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR, DPDP, etc.), and how to stay compliant without slowing down product or growth.

Expect candid conversations with startup founders, compliance experts, and CTOs who’ve been through the audit trenches — plus plenty of room to ask your questions.

If you're a founder, product builder, or part of an early-stage team working with sensitive data or regulated industries — this one's for you.
