Good coffee and honest conversation rarely happen by accident. On 29th April 2026, ThoughtSol and Barracuda made sure of both happens by setting the stage at Sandal Suites operated by Lemon Tree Hotels for an evening worth showing up to. Instead of putting together a product presentation or a webinar this time we pulled up chairs, brewed some coffee, and invited technology and business leaders across industries to simply talk.
That was the idea behind Brew with Barracuda, an exclusive roundtable discussion on evolving threat landscapes, AI-driven security challenges and real-world use cases for harnessing our resilience strategies.
ThoughtSol and Barracuda have spent over five years building a partnership that goes beyond a strong portfolio. One that is rooted in a genuine understanding of where enterprise security challenges surface and how quickly the landscape can shift. That foundation runs deep, showing up in a focused and proven practice across email security, email archival, and web application security.
These are among the most critical and consistently targeted layers of any enterprise security infrastructure, and our combined expertise in delivering and managing solutions across them has made this partnership one that organizations across India continue to rely on. Brew with Barracuda was a natural extension of that commitment. Designed not as a platform for product showcase, but as an exclusive forum where senior technology and security leaders could step away from day-to-day pressures and engage in high-value, experience-led conversations that rarely happen in conventional industry settings.
The attendees represented some of the most experienced voices in enterprise technology and security. Everyone shared common perspectives but varied in their influence upon the discussion based on their backgrounds as well as experiences. The meeting format was intentionally designed to be intimate, a roundtable discussion which provided opportunities for open, informal exchange of dialogue between the participants without requiring individual presentations.
What followed was an insightful exchange spanning some of the most pressing challenges in enterprise security today. From building resilient organizations and navigating increasingly sophisticated email-based threats, to embedding security awareness across large teams and understanding what true business continuity preparedness looks like beyond policy documentation. The conversation also looked ahead at how security priorities and budgets are expected to evolve as a new threat environment takes shape.
“AI is changing what attacks look like and how fast they move. But the fundamentals have not changed. Organizations that invest in the right partnerships, the right culture, and the right preparation will always be better positioned than those chasing the next solution.”
— Ratan Dargan, Co-Founder & CTO, ThoughtSol Infotech
ThoughtSol and Barracuda are not treating this as something that happened once and gets filed away. The intention is to keep bringing these conversations to more leaders, in more cities, with the same format and the same commitment to keeping things real. The industry has enough polished events. What it needs more of are honest ones.
We are grateful to every leader who made time for that morning, who came in with an open mind and contributed something genuine to the conversation. The quality of a roundtable is entirely determined by the people in the room, and this one had the right people.
