Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPravin Kumar is a seasoned cybersecurity and risk leader with over 20 years of experience and a decade at senior leadership levels, currently serving as Chief Market Information Security Officer and Data Protection Officer at NPCI. He has architected and operationalized enterprise security, privacy and compliance programs across fintech, banking and global markets—driving IAM, Zero Trust, SOC, cloud security and certifications like ISO, SOC2, PCI-DSS and GDPR at scale. Previously as Group CISO & DPO at Paytm and Head roles at PayU, Barclays, Deutsche Bank and J.P. Morgan, he designed resilient control frameworks aligned to regulators across APAC, EMEA and India. Pravin combines board-level risk counsel with hands-on delivery of secure cloud migrations, application security and incident response, and has repeatedly scaled teams and control maturity rapidly (e.g., NIST uplift and multiple certs in months). Based in Mumbai, he pairs an MBA in IT/Marketing with deep operational experience in national payments and critical infrastructure—often translating complex regulatory requirements into pragmatic, auditable security programs. An uncommon strength is his track record of converging privacy, GRC and engineering teams to embed security into product and DevOps lifecycles rather than treating it as a separate compliance exercise.
