Som Satsangi joins Vehere Board to boost cyber innovation
Vehere has announced the appointment of Som Satsangi, former Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Hewlett Packard Enterprise India, to its Board of Directors.
Som Satsangi brings over four decades of experience within the IT and technology sector to Vehere. He has held key leadership positions and is recognised for his role in supporting enterprise growth, scaling operations, and driving strategic initiatives in the industry. His recent retirement from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) India marks the conclusion of a significant period where he notably advanced HPE's involvement with the government's "Make in India" initiative, supporting the development of Indian manufacturing and enterprise capability.
During his tenure at HPE India, Satsangi led the organisation in customer engagement and oversaw operational expansion. He played a central part in establishing one of HPE's largest global campuses in India and contributed to strengthening the Atmanirbhar Bharat or 'self-reliant India' vision. His involvement also extended to serving as Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in India (AMCHAM), and he contributed to major industry forums including NASSCOM, CII, USISPF and the World Economic Forum's South Asia Working Group.
According to Vehere, Satsangi's track record aligns closely with the company's mission to secure critical digital infrastructure by leveraging AI-powered cyber intelligence. His experience and strategic insight are expected to influence Vehere's trajectory in both national security and enterprise markets.
Leadership perspective
"Som's appointment marks a strategic milestone in Vehere's journey. His visionary leadership, deep understanding of India's enterprise landscape, and commitment to national digital advancement will be invaluable as Vehere continues to expand its footprint across enterprise and national security sectors. His belief in the 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' vision perfectly complements Vehere's own mission to build globally competitive cybersecurity capabilities rooted in India," said Praveen Jaiswal, Co-founder and COO, Vehere.
Adding his view on joining the board, Som Satsangi explained his motives for accepting the position and outlined his perspective on the company's future contribution to cybersecurity and technological innovation within India.
"Vehere's mission to empower organizations with real-time cyber intelligence resonates deeply with my belief in technology as a force for national resilience and innovation. As India continues to champion the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat movements, Vehere stands as a shining example of indigenous innovation driving global impact. I look forward to contributing to Vehere's vision of strengthening India's cybersecurity ecosystem and scaling its leadership worldwide."
Business context

With a decade-long involvement in defence and intelligence operations, its technology has been adopted both by government agencies and large enterprises, including those listed within the Fortune 500.
