Its comprehensive portfolio spans antivirus, endpoint, mobile, cloud, and network security solutions. Crucially, a 35,000-strong partner ecosystem and 24×7 multilingual customer support turn cutting-edge technology into unwavering user trust.
Every product is built on a ‘simple yet powerful’ design ethos—delivering seamless protection across Windows, macOS, Android, and server environments. As a result, businesses remain resilient, families feel secure, and governments safeguard their critical infrastructure.
Quick Heal consistently stays ahead of cybercrime’s ever-evolving threat matrix. In doing so, it accelerates safer digital transformation across sectors. It stands today not only as a market leader but also as a symbol of indigenous innovation in India’s fast-evolving tech landscape.
In an exclusive conversation with The Interview World at MSME Mahotsav 2025, Awanish Srivastava, Senior Zonal Manager – Retail Sales, Quick Heal Technologies offers an incisive view into the cybersecurity landscape. He outlines the most pressing digital threats, explains how Quick Heal ensures its solutions remain virtually impenetrable, and provides insights into the company’s expanding market share and sustained revenue growth.
Here are the key takeaways from this compelling dialogue.
Q: What are the key cybersecurity challenges faced by Indian MSMEs, especially in payment systems, and how is Quick Heal addressing them?
A: Our portfolio spans an expansive spectrum of cybersecurity solutions, each engineered to neutralise today’s most pernicious digital threats. Most recently, we unveiled Anti‑Fraud.AI, a platform that embodies our commitment to proactive defence. Powered by real‑time behavioural analytics and machine learning, the system safeguards individuals and organisations of every size. The instant a suspicious call, text, or hyperlink reaches your device, Anti‑Fraud.AI interrogates its source, tone, metadata, and network behaviour. Within milliseconds, it cross‑references a global threat‑intelligence cloud that ingests millions of indicators daily, flags the danger, and issues a decisive alert: “Do not proceed.” Consequently, users no longer need to second‑guess every link; the decision is made for them—quickly, accurately, and consistently.
For sector‑specific risks, we offer a robust suite of solutions. Yet Endpoint Security (EPS) remains the industry gold standard. Ransomware, for instance, cripples businesses by encrypting data and demanding exorbitant payments. EPS dismantles that menace at every stage. First, its proactive shield hardens every endpoint—desktop, laptop, server, or mobile—closing the vulnerabilities attackers typically exploit. Next, its behavioural engine monitors for the tell‑tale signatures of unauthorised encryption and terminates the process before a single file locks. Finally, an integrated backup‑and‑rapid‑restore module guarantees business continuity even if adversaries breach the first defensive layer.
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises—often the backbone of our economy—benefit most from this layered defence. They cannot afford prolonged downtime or reputational damage. EPS, coupled with our 24×7 multilingual support, erects an enterprise‑grade fortress without enterprise‑grade complexity or cost. Our engineers configure the system, monitor anomalies, and push live updates, ensuring cyber‑criminals never gain the foothold they crave.
In short, Anti‑Fraud.AI eradicates social‑engineering scams at their source; Endpoint Security extinguishes ransomware before it ignites. Together they convert vigilance into certainty, empowering citizens, start‑ups, and global enterprises alike to pursue unabated digital growth with unshakeable confidence.
Q: With hackers using advanced AI to breach systems, what AI-driven safeguards is Quick Heal implementing to make solutions unbreachable?
A: We are powered by GoDeep.AI, our cutting-edge artificial intelligence engine that continuously elevates our cybersecurity capabilities. This intelligent system doesn’t just react—it learns. It actively monitors user behaviour, understands usage patterns, and builds contextual awareness in real time.
When a potential cyberattack emerges, GoDeep.AI immediately analyses its nature and trajectory. It then deploys targeted countermeasures tailored to the specific threat and user environment. As a result, we don’t just defend against known risks—we stay fully equipped to neutralize new and unknown attacks the moment they appear.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of new viruses surface across the digital landscape. Our system relentlessly scans, studies, and classifies each variant. Based on these insights, we continuously update our threat database and push precise solutions to our users—automatically, and without delay.
In essence, GoDeep.AI is our frontline sentinel, anticipating threats before they strike and adapting defences in real time. This proactive intelligence ensures that our users stay one step ahead of cybercriminals—always protected, always prepared.
Q: What is the market size for cybersecurity products like Quick Heal’s in India, and what is your current market share?
A: In India, Quick Heal commands nearly 70% of the cybersecurity market—a testament to our trusted leadership and relentless innovation. Our flagship solution, Endpoint Security, anchors this dominance. Yet, the market’s true potential remains vastly untapped.
Currently, many industries—especially small and mid-sized enterprises—underinvest in cybersecurity. Their digital assets grow, but their security frameworks lag. This gap exposes them to serious risk. However, the landscape is shifting. As threats intensify and awareness deepens, cybersecurity will become a non-negotiable necessity for every business, regardless of size.
That’s where our mission extends beyond product delivery. We see it as our responsibility to educate, to raise awareness, and to guide organizations toward effective, scalable, and future-ready security solutions.
The scope for growth is immense. And we are committed to leading the way—by informing, empowering, and protecting India’s digital future.
Q: What is Quick Heal’s current revenue size, and what long-term strategies are planned to boost growth over the next decade?
A: Last fiscal year, we closed at nearly ₹300 crore in revenue. Yet we refuse to rest on that milestone. Over the next 24–36 months, we aim to triple that figure and surpass ₹1,000 crore.
Why such confidence? We are investing aggressively where the market needs protection most. First, we have expanded our portfolio beyond traditional antivirus into Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), and Enterprise Protection Platforms (EPP). Each solution adds a new defensive layer, converting raw threat data into actionable intelligence that neutralises attacks before they spread.
Next, we have launched AntiFraud.AI—our real‑time armour against social‑engineering scams, phishing, and payment fraud. This platform processes millions of data points per second, flags anomalies, and blocks malicious transactions instantly. Early adopters already report sharp drops in fraud‑related losses.
Moreover, every rupee we invest follows a single guiding principle: customer‑centric innovation. We track emerging threat vectors across industries, collect direct feedback from our enterprise clients, and refine our road map accordingly. Our development teams run continuous sprints, ensuring that feature updates and security patches arrive weeks—sometimes months—before competing vendors can react.
We also recognise that technology alone is not enough. Therefore, we pair each product with enterprise‑grade service. Dedicated success managers help clients optimise deployments; 24×7 multilingual support ensures no query goes unanswered; and an expanding partner network guarantees prompt, on‑site assistance nationwide.
Taken together, these initiatives create a powerful growth engine. Customer trust deepens, adoption widens, and revenue rises. By anchoring our strategy in relentless R&D, surgical market insight, and uncompromising support, we position ourselves not merely to meet—but to exceed—our ₹1,000‑crore target.
In short, our outlook is bold yet grounded. We invest where the threat landscape is most volatile, innovate in lock‑step with customer needs, and deliver service that sets a new industry benchmark. The result is predictable: accelerated growth, fortified clients, and a safer digital ecosystem for all.
