Protectt.ai

What Protectt.ai does

Protectt.ai is an India-based cybersecurity company founded in 2018 by Manish Mimani (Founder CEO) and Mohanraj Selvaraj (Co-Founder & Head - Engineering), headquartered in Mumbai with engineering centers in Gurugram and Chennai, and regional offices in Dubai and Dover, Delaware. The company builds an AI-native, full-stack mobile application security platform anchored on Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) technology and distributed to enterprise clients as SDKs for Android and iOS integration. The product suite includes AppProtectt (core RASP platform with 100+ security features), AppBind (Zero Trust device and SIM binding using proprietary LSAP and SSiD technology), CodeProtectt (code obfuscation and polymorphic protection), ApiProtectt (mobile API protection with nonce-based trust validation), AppAuth (AI-driven fraud prevention with behavioral biometrics and dynamic trust scoring), and SDKProtectt (SDK tamper defense). In April 2025, the company expanded into AI security with the launch of the Enterprise Agentic AI Security Platform, which includes AI Red Teaming, LLM Runtime Security, ML Model Scanner, and AI Governance tools.

The company targets regulated industries with a primary focus on BFSI — including banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, and stock exchanges — as well as government and gaming verticals in India and the Middle East. Named enterprise customers include RBL Bank, Yes Bank, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), Bajaj Finserv, Equitas Small Finance Bank, ICICI Lombard, LIC, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank, IIFL Finance, India INX, Cholamandalam MS, and Shri Ram Finance. The company positions itself around regulatory compliance alignment with RBI Digital Payment Security Controls, SEBI Cyber Resilience Framework, NPCI SIM/Device Binding Controls, MAS, HKMA, SAMA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST, and OWASP standards, and holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certifications.

Protectt.ai operates a direct enterprise field sales motion with quote-based annual subscription pricing, deploying products via SDK integration that requires technical pre-sales and solution architect support. The company raised Rs 76 crore (~$8.78M USD) in Series A funding from Bessemer Venture Partners in March 2025 to fund product development, research, and international expansion into the US and UAE markets. The company is currently expanding geographically with the appointment of a Middle East & Africa Country Head in Dubai and is broadening its product surface beyond BFSI mobile security into agentic AI security for enterprise AI systems.
