NEW DELHI, India — August 20, 2026 — Cloudanix, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Velocis, hosted an invite-only CXO roundtable titled “Power of 3” at Pullman New Delhi, Aerocity. The evening brought together CTOs, CIOs, and Security Heads from enterprises across India to discuss how organizations can replace fragmented security tooling with a single, correlated platform spanning code, cloud, and access.
The intimate gathering of approximately 22 attendees — including security decision-makers from fintech, SaaS, and enterprise sectors — reflected a growing consensus: as AI-generated code accelerates and cloud footprints expand, the five or six point tools most organizations juggle today are no longer sustainable.
Why “Power of 3” — the partnership
The event’s title captured the complementary strengths each partner brings to the table:
- AWS — cloud infrastructure and AI services powering the next wave of enterprise workloads.
- Cloudanix — a multi-surface security platform unifying Code, Cloud, and Access on a single correlated graph.
- Velocis — managed services expertise that helps enterprises operationalize security platforms at scale.
Together, the three partners represent a full-stack approach for Indian enterprises scaling on AWS: infrastructure, security, and operational support under one coordinated umbrella.
The Cloudanix perspective — one platform, three surfaces
Sujay Maheshwari, Co-founder and CEO of Cloudanix, and Piyush Makharia from the Cloudanix sales team walked attendees through the platform’s approach to modern cloud security.
The core thesis: from the coding agent on a developer’s laptop to the workload asking for permissions in production, everything can be secured on a single correlated graph. Instead of juggling separate tools for CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, code security, JIT access, and data controls, organizations can consolidate into one platform — one vendor, one onboarding, one renewal.
Cloudanix’s platform spans three surfaces:
- Code — securing both human-written and AI-generated code, with guardrails on the device and checks in the pipeline.
- Cloud — posture management, workload protection, vulnerability management, identity threat detection, attack path analysis, and compliance across 15+ frameworks.
- Access — just-in-time privilege across seven surfaces (cloud console, VMs, Kubernetes, databases, SaaS, CI/CD pipelines, and coding agents), plus data activity monitoring with dynamic PII masking.
“We are not in the business of security, we are in the business of trust.”

AWS on AI services and Kiro
Samaksh Gupta, Senior Account Manager at AWS, and Ayush Agarwal, Solutions Architect at AWS, presented AWS’s AI services portfolio and delivered a live demonstration of Kiro — AWS’s AI-powered development environment.
The demo connected directly to the evening’s broader theme: as AI coding agents become mainstream in Indian development centres, securing the pipeline from first prompt to production deployment becomes a non-negotiable requirement. Cloudanix’s Coding Agent Guard — which inspects every tool call before it runs across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Kiro, and Copilot — was presented as the security layer purpose-built for this new reality.
Customer voice — Thriwe’s experience with CSPM and JIT
Mrigesh Pokhrel, Solution Architect at Thriwe, shared his team’s first-hand experience deploying Cloudanix’s Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Just-in-Time cloud access capabilities.
His perspective reinforced a recurring theme of the evening: security teams want fewer dashboards, faster onboarding, and access controls that don’t slow engineering down. With Cloudanix’s agentless deployment delivering first findings the same day and JIT access replacing standing privilege, Thriwe found a balance between security rigor and developer velocity.
Velocis — managed security for enterprises
Sagar Sutarve, Solution Architect at Velocis, discussed how the managed services practice helps enterprises move from evaluation to operationalized security. For organizations that want the platform without the operational overhead, Velocis provides the implementation, tuning, and ongoing management layer.
Varun Bansal, Head of Sales at Velocis, delivered the closing note — tying together the “Power of 3” vision: AWS for infrastructure at scale, Cloudanix for unified security across code, cloud, and access, and Velocis for hands-on managed services that make it real.
The India angle — compliance, AI velocity, and partnership
The roundtable touched on several themes particularly relevant to the Indian market:
-
Regulatory readiness — with the DPDP Act holding data fiduciaries accountable for unauthorized access to personal data, the combination of Just-in-Time access and Database Activity Monitoring provides the evidence trail regulators require. Zero standing access, PII masked by role, and every query stamped to a real human.
-
AI coding agent adoption — Indian development centres are among the fastest adopters of AI coding tools. The Coding Agent Guard ensures every tool call is inspected on the device before it runs — one policy across every agent, monitor-first by default.
-
Data residency and local support — data stays in the customer’s own cloud account and region. Audit trails land in their S3, not Cloudanix’s. A Pune-based team operates in the customer’s timezone, with rule customisation and integration work included.
Key takeaways
The “Power of 3” roundtable underscored three shifts shaping cloud security in India today:
- Consolidation is no longer optional — budget pressure and alert fatigue are pushing organizations to replace point tools with platforms.
- AI is changing the threat surface — securing AI-generated code and AI agent access is as critical as securing human workflows.
- Trust is the product — security is the mechanism, but what organizations are buying is the confidence to move fast without exposure.
