About

I believe the next era of leadership will be defined by one word, resilience. As AI becomes the backbone of modern business, the question has shifted from “What can we automate?” to “What can we trust?” Delzad Mirza and I co-founded ZeroDuo to help organisations build AI & Cyber Resilience, not as a checklist, but as a capability. We help organisation leadership embed governance, security, and trust into every part of their ecosystem : across people, process, and technology. Our mission is simple: Move from Compliance to Resilience. Because compliance keeps you safe. But resilience keeps you ahead. 🔹 Advisory, not consulting: Outcome-focused, business-centric, holistic & collaborative approach 🔹 Expertise across AI governance, cyber risk, and regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, DPDP, GDPR, NIS2, DORA) 🔹 Multi-disciplinary approach: People Enablement | Process Enablement | Technology Enablement 🔹 Global focus: India + Europe If your organisation is scaling AI, we’ll help you scale it safely, confidently, and responsibly. 🧭 Let’s talk about building AI & Cyber Resilience that lasts. 🌐 www.zeroduo.ai
