Two
of the most exploited weaknesses in enterprise security, unwatched privileged
access and unread security alerts, get closed at once, by a platform built for
governance and a platform born inside a live security operations centre.
Launched in the presence of economist and Swadeshi Jagaran Manch National
Co-Convener Dr. Ashwani Mahajan.
Mumbai,
India, 16th July 2026: ESDS Software Solution
Limited, a sovereign cloud and data centre provider in India, today announced
the general availability of two enterprise-grade platforms built entirely on
Indian soil: Swaraj Nandi, a Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform that
governs the credentials, sessions and audit trails behind an organisation's
most sensitive systems and Swaraj Hansa, an AI-powered autonomous SIEM platform
designed to close the gap between threat detection and action. Together, the
two launches address the two failure points that consistently sit at the centre
of enterprise security incidents in India: who has access to what and who is watching
what happens once they have it. The launch was held in the presence of Dr.
Ashwani Mahajan, National Co-Convener of the Swadeshi Jagaran Manch and noted
Indian economist, as chief guest.
Swaraj
Nandi and Swaraj Hansa join Swaraj AIOPS, Swaraj Garuda and Swaraj Jatayoo as
the newest members of ESDS's portfolio of indigenous enterprise technology
platforms, each engineered, built and supported entirely on Indian soil. Taken
together, the platforms reflect a deliberate, sustained programme to build the
security and infrastructure layer Indian enterprises depend on from within
India, rather than import it.
Swaraj
Hansa did not begin as a product idea. It began inside ESDS's own security
operations centre, where analysts were living with the exact problem the
platform now solves for clients: alert volumes no team can keep pace with,
detections that arrive without an explanation attached and every new data
source meaning weeks of manual rule-writing before it is even usable. Swaraj
Hansa was built by the people who felt that pain first, to fix it for
themselves, before ESDS decided to bring it to market.
Dr.
Ashwani Mahajan, National Co-Convener, Swadeshi Jagaran Manch, said:
"India has demonstrated on the global stage
that we have built world-class capabilities in defence, space and digital
public infrastructure. The next frontier is digital sovereignty. As we
strengthen our indigenous cloud, AI, and cybersecurity ecosystems, we are not
only reducing strategic dependence but also creating globally competitive technologies.
As we continue to build indigenous digital infrastructure, our cloud, data, and
critical technologies must remain under India's control. Only through
self-reliance in digital infrastructure can we secure India's technological
future and emerge as a trusted global technology leader. This is the commitment
required to build a truly self-reliant Digital India”.

Somani, Promoter, Managing Director and Chairman, ESDS Software Solution
Limited, said:
“Every
organisation we serve banks, government bodies, hospitals, large enterprises
carry the same exposure, in two forms. Somewhere inside its infrastructure sits
a handful of credentials that, in the wrong hands, unlock everything. And
somewhere in its security operations, a signal is arriving that no one has the
time to notice. Both risks have historically been managed the same way:
informally, and on trust alone. That is no longer adequate for the systems
India now depends on.”
“Swaraj
Nandi addresses the first. Every credential is vaulted, rotated and governed
under Zero Trust principles. Swaraj Hansa addresses the second and it was built
with the discipline of people who have worked inside a security operations centre
themselves, not designed at a distance from the problem. What both platforms
share is a conviction we hold across our portfolio: that India's most sensitive
infrastructure deserves security that is built, owned and accountable within
India.”

Two
Gaps, One Root Cause
On
privileged access, the failure is silence: no session audit trail to answer who
accessed which system and when, credential sprawl across servers and databases
left unmanaged, no kill-switch to terminate a session once it turns malicious
and vendor access granted with no accountability once an engagement ends.
On
security operations, the failure is noise: analyst teams buried under alert
volumes with no reliable way to separate signal from real threat, a nationwide
shortage of Tier-1 analysts to triage what comes in, weeks of manual work to
onboard every new data source and a deepening distrust of AI-driven detection
that cannot explain its own decisions.
Tightening
RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and PCI-DSS mandates now expect auditable, real-time control
over both a bar most enterprises
currently have no way to clear.
"India's
digital leadership will ultimately be defined by the technologies we create,
own and govern ourselves. The emergence of sovereign digital platforms reflects
the maturity of India's innovation ecosystem. Initiatives by our BDIA members
like ESDS are enabling the nation's Digital Sovereignty vision while laying the
foundation for trusted, resilient and globally competitive digital
infrastructure."

Swaraj
Nandi
Swaraj
Nandi functions as a single control plane for privileged credential management,
session governance and compliance reporting, deployable entirely on-premise or
within a private cloud, with no agents required on target systems and no
dependency on foreign cloud infrastructure. The platform vaults and
automatically rotates every privileged credential root passwords, service
accounts, API keys, SSH keys and database credentials so that no human ever
sees a production password in plain text. Every privileged session runs through
a Zero-Trust session manager requiring explicit approval and multi-factor
authentication, with no standing privileges. Every session is recorded down to
the keystroke in a tamper-resistant, searchable audit trail, and built-in behavioural
analytics flag anomalous commands before damage occurs.
Swaraj
Hansa
Swaraj
Hansa is an AI-powered autonomous SIEM platform built on a simple premise:
AI-driven detection, human-owned decisions. Where Swaraj Nandi governs access,
Swaraj Hansa governs visibility collecting, correlating and triaging security
signals across an organisation's infrastructure and closing the gap between
detection and action rather than stopping at another dashboard of unread
alerts. Every alert Hansa surfaces arrives with a plain-language explanation of
why it was flagged, so an analyst can act on it rather than take a black-box
score on faith. New data sources are onboarded through a guided, largely
no-code setup instead of weeks of custom rule-writing and repetitive triage and
reporting work runs on autopilot so analysts spend their time on the alerts
that actually need a human judgment call. The platform continuously monitors
its own health, runs in a high-availability configuration with no single point
of failure and is built to operate standalone in an air-gapped or private-cloud
environment for organisations that cannot depend on foreign infrastructure a
requirement Swaraj Hansa was designed around from day one, not retrofitted for
later.

Somani, Whole-time Director, CMO and CHRO, ESDS Software Solution Limited,
said:
“Trust
inside an enterprise has always been an assumption rather than a control, and
that is precisely what a privileged access breach or a missed security alert
relies on. It is rarely a stranger breaking in and rarely a total absence of
warning. It is someone already inside doing something no one was watching for,
or a signal that fired and was lost in the volume. Swaraj Nandi and Swaraj
Hansa are not built to make organisations trust less. They are built to give
them something to verify.”

Regulatory
Compliance Architecture
Both
platforms' compliance architecture is mapped directly to the frameworks
governing India's most regulated sectors including the RBI IT Framework, SEBI's
CSCRF, the DPDP Act, PCI-DSS v4.0, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. Swaraj Nandi's
access approval workflows, session recordings, credential rotation logs and
risk-scoring reports, alongside Swaraj Hansa's alert triage records and audit
trails, are structured to satisfy each framework's specific audit and
incident-reporting requirements giving organisations a direct path to
compliance on both access governance and security monitoring without building
custom infrastructure for either from scratch.
Availability
Swaraj
Nandi and Swaraj Hansa are available with immediate effect across On-Premise,
Private Cloud and as-a-Service deployment models. Swaraj Nandi supports Linux
and Windows servers, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and Cisco and Juniper
network devices. Swaraj Hansa is built to deploy standalone, including in
air-gapped environments, for organisations that require full data sovereignty
over their security operations. ESDS is offering structured POC and pilot
engagements for qualified organisations across banking, government, insurance,
healthcare and large enterprise sectors. Enterprises may request a technical
demonstration or compliance assessment consultation through ESDS's enterprise
engagement team.
