Biography

Amid Flipkart’s acquisition spree in 2021 and 2022, the online retailer needed to align cybersecurity across the newly acquired companies. Raakesh Thayyil, group head of data security and security investigations and a winner of ISMG’s DynamicCISO Excellence Awards 2023, discussed this successful project to establish and revamp the information security function across two group subsidiaries without incurring excessive costs.
