Saviynt, a leading provider of
cloud-native identity governance solutions, today announced that Nitin Varma
has joined the company as Senior Vice President and Managing Director for India
and SAARC. Saviynt has a significant existing presence in the region, with
nearly 600 employees in India serving all corporate functions. Varma’s
appointment will strengthen Saviynt’s go-to-market efforts and is emblematic of
the company’s overall commitment to the region. Varma will be leading Saviynt’s
new customer acquisition efforts, building and enhancing technical and
consulting partnerships, and elevating the company’s overall position as a
trusted provider of identity security solutions in India and SAARC.
“Nitin brings more than 25 years
of experience in sales, operations, and strategy for some of the leading
companies in identity, security, and infrastructure. We have a large

organizations like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, and Cisco. In his last
assignment as Managing Director at CrowdStrike he was responsible for building,
scaling, and creating a strong market presence across India and SAARC.
"I am excited to join
Saviynt at a time when the company has tremendous potential to gain mindshare,
build its reputation, capture market share in South Asia, and most importantly,
deliver the desired outcomes to customers. India is the second most targeted
nation in the world in terms of cyberattacks, a vast majority of which are
identity related,” said Varma. “I look forward to building an impactful team
and developing ecosystem partnerships and alliances to educate businesses in
the region about Saviynt and why its cloud-based platform is the most reliable
approach to solving problems and protecting identities.”
