Digital transformation company, Indus Net Technologies (INT.) on Monday, said it is making a strategic investment in Prime Infoserv to foray into the cybersecurity business.

Kolkata-based Prime Infoserv is one of the leading players in the cybersecurity domain with global clients.

“Right now, we have three major service pillars -- application development, analytics and digital marketing. We are creating the fourth pillar in the business, which is infrastructure.

Founder and CEO, Abhishek Rungta told businessline.

As per the deal, Kolkata-headquartered Indus Net Technologies will be investing around ₹8-10 crore in Prime Infoserv over the next two to three years. After the completion of this transaction, Prime Infoserv will become a subsidiary of INT.

“We are investing ₹8-10 crore over the next two-three years in this business. At the end of our currently agreed deal, INT will have a 51 per cent stake in Prime Infoserv,” Rungta said, adding the Indian cybersecurity market was expected to reach $10.90 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 18.33 per cent.
