SISA Launches AI-Driven StackSQ At NASSCOM Conclave
"Solutions like SISA StackSQ-combining privacy-first design with AI-driven intelligence, are critical to enabling compliance without slowing innovation. They reflect the kind of forward-looking, quantum-ready capabilities India needs to strengthen digital trust and global competitiveness," said Nasscom's AI Head, Ankit Bose.
Speaking at the launch, Dharshan Shanthamurthy, Founder and CEO of SISA, reflected on the platform's mission. "In our forensics work, we have seen how breaches often trace back to what no one was looking at - whether it is an unnoticed dependency, a forgotten crypto library, or a small component with big consequences. StackSQ is our response to that blind spot. We built it to help organisations see deeply, act quickly, and stay ready for whatever comes next. Just as importantly, we designed it to integrate seamlessly with existing tech stacks. StackSQ supports all major programming languages, frameworks, and package managers, making it effortless to embed into modern development environments."
StackSQ's privacy-first architecture enables deep, AI-driven analysis of software components while preserving the sanctity of proprietary code. It offers unprecedented visibility into an enterprise's codebase without ever accessing the source code.
What makes StackSQ timely and essential is its alignment with the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. With CERT-In, SEBI, PCI DSS, and FIPS 140-2 tightening mandates around software bill of materials and cryptographic safety, organisations in finance, defence, and government are under growing pressure to demonstrate not just awareness, but readiness. StackSQ rises to this challenge through its integrated SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), CBOM (Cryptographic BOM), and QBOM (Quantum BOM) capabilities, ensuring vulnerability management, cryptographic safety, and quantum readiness in a single platform. This trinity forms the heart of StackSQ's proposition: one platform, three lenses, total visibility.
The launch comes at a time when the software supply chain is increasingly being weaponised. Attackers log in, exploiting vulnerable packages, misused libraries, or outdated cryptographic standards buried deep within builds.
StackSQ doesn't just flag these risks but anticipates them. It's AI-powered risk intelligence assistant enables security teams to query potential threats in natural language and receive contextual, prioritised responses along with recommended remediation paths. In addition, it offers combined with flexible deployment models across SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments, and adapts to the way software is built today - fast, distributed, and deeply interdependent.
StackSQ also marks a pivotal evolution in SISA's journey, from a compliance partner to a trusted enabler of digital trust.
In a world where what lies inside your software may matter more than what's on the surface, StackSQ reimagines security intelligence for the CISO, the developer, and the regulator alike.

KOFFi Launches India's First Business Fund Parking Platform - Helping Businesses Earn 7-8% on Daily Balances
India PR Distribution New Delhi [India], August 12: Many businesses in India know the frustration- cash sits idle in the bank between payrolls, tax payment or vendor bills. That's short-term funds just waiting for something better. KOFFi- a Pune based fintech startup, founded in 2023, aimed precisely at this challenge. When Prajwal Manalwar returned to India after two decades of fintech experience in Silicon Valley, he noticed a surprising gap. While large corporations smartly manage their short-term funds, most Indian SMBs leave this cash idle in current accounts, earning almost nothing. Prajwal saw an opportunity to bring institutional-grade fund parking solutions to Indian businesses in a simple and accessible way. KOFFi, a SEBI-registered platform, enables businesses to park their idle funds directly with partner Tata AMC through a secure BSE network. The platform offers curated, highly safe fixed-income mutual funds that primarily invest in short-term government and high-quality corporate securities. Even when parked for just a few days, businesses can earn 7-8% p.a., with next-business-day (T+1) liquidity ensuring quick access to their funds whenever needed. (Check their Returns Calculator) "Your business funds should work for you; not for your bank. That is exactly why I created KOFFi," emphasizes Prajwal Manalwar, Founder & CEO. Decade-long product leadership at PayPal helped Prajwal build a platform closely aligned with business fund parking needs. KOFFi's AI-driven fund recommendations, continuous fund monitoring, and smart fund-swapping features to optimize returns based on market conditions. Its goal-based fund parking enables businesses to align savings for upcoming business objectives. Withdrawals can be scheduled in advance to match payroll or vendor payment dates, and multiple team members can access the platform, making it easy for finance teams to collaborate and manage funds seamlessly. "There's over ₹25 lakh crore parked in current accounts or low-yielding FDs. I'm a bit surprised to see that businesses in India are still stuck with traditional banking options. This is the space where KOFFi sees enormous potential to create impact." Prajwal adds. KOFFi already serves several well-known businesses across India. And one Pune-based IT company parks ₹50 lakh of payroll funds for three weeks each month, earning around ₹6 lakh a year effortlessly. In the months ahead, KOFFi is looking to deepen its integrations with banking and payroll platforms, making fund disbursements and withdrawals even smoother. The company is also building advanced analytics to help CFOs better predict idle cash flows and maximise returns with greater accuracy.
