Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar
The Pioneer of Cybersecurity Research in Gujarat.
Kaushal Bhavsar is a technocrat and innovator in cybersecurity. Located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, he established Pratikar Technologies in 2009 as a student entrepreneur while pursuing an MCA at the renowned LD College of Engineering. At that moment, he was providing consulting services for hacking investigation, malware analysis, etc.
Later, he joined Gujarat Forensic Science University (now known as NFSU) and became the first student to pass its maiden Certificate Diploma in CyberSecurity course. Meanwhile, he started teaching Network Security at Gujarat University. He was Gujarat’s first and youngest faculty member to design the syllabus for Network Security, Web Security, and Information Security courses for PG Students. He also developed a Networking & Security Research Lab at Rollwala Computer Center, Gujarat University.
In Jan 2012, he quit his academic job to pursue full-time entrepreneurship and co-founded two award-winning SaaS products: Anatag and Bizmica.
In December 2015, while helping his client secure their application infrastructure (partly under Mr. Robot’s influence, just kidding), Kaushal founded BUGSKAN, a cybersecurity company building tools for secure application development. The first product was a cloud-based vulnerability scanner, followed by a cloud WAF platform. Both features were clubbed together under a Security-as-a-Service (SecaaS) platform BugShield.
