About the Firm
A consulting practice built around senior judgement and AI agents.
Srida IT Consulting & Services Pvt Ltd was founded in 2015 in Hyderabad. We advise CEOs, Boards, CISOs, and CIOs across banking, payments, healthcare, government, and large enterprise.
In 2026, we became India’s first AI-native GRC firm — pairing senior consulting judgement with a purpose-built suite of AI agents that produce policies, evidence, control tests, and audit working papers under partner sign-off.

Rajendra brings 28+ years of frontline cybersecurity, governance, and compliance experience — spanning vulnerability assessment, ISO 27001 implementation, vCISO engagements, audit defence, and privacy programme design across banking, payments, public sector, and critical infrastructure clients.
He founded Srida IT in 2015 with a thesis that India deserves a consulting practice that meets the international quality bar without the international price tag. A decade in, that thesis has produced 50+ engagements, a seven-product technology suite, and in 2026 the operating model shift that defines India’s first AI-native GRC firm.
He works directly with Boards, Audit Committees, and CISO-level executives. Every Srida engagement carries his sign-off — a practice he is unwilling to outsource to a junior team or to AI.
Principles
How we practice.
Four principles that govern every engagement Srida IT takes. They are written down so clients can hold us to them — and so prospective hires understand what they are signing up for.
01
Senior counsel, not pyramids
Every engagement is led by a partner-level advisor. We do not staff with juniors and bill at premium rates. Our leverage comes from AI agents, not headcount.
02
Determinism over hype
Our methodologies and grading systems produce the same answer given the same inputs. Auditable. Explainable. Defensible to a regulator.
03
Indian roots, global standards
Born in India, built for the regulatory and quality bar of the international market. ISO, SOC, PCI, DPDPA, GDPR, HIPAA — fluent across.
04
Transparent in price and process
Fixed-scope engagements where possible. Clear deliverable lists. Two-evaluator quality gates on every consequential output. No surprises.
