- Kaushik Srinivasan, Co-Founder, eMudhra
eMudhra appointed KPMG as an independent reviewer to reassure stakeholders following a cybersecurity incident involving eight issuing CAs. Co-founder Kaushik Srinivasan confirmed that the issue was contained, with no end-entity certificates issued. MeitY clarified that the incident had no impact on the company's domestic DSC and eSign businesses, where transaction volumes remain stable and slightly higher due to festive lending. The company has answered government inquiries and is focusing on zero-trust frameworks, stricter operational controls, and investments in post-quantum cryptography.
