In 2024, Piali Bopanna and Nishanth Shamanna launched 720 Fund, paving the way for traditional SFs in India with the objective of acquiring a top-tier B2B business. The fund received backing from several investors, including Ambit Partners, Cerralvo Capital, Relay Investment, TTCER Partners, BK Growth, Brown Robin Partners, Granite Point Partners, Luka Salamunic, and Manvendra Saxena. They have successfully acquired the cybersecurity company Eventus Security, marking the first SF acquisition in India.
Founded in India in 2017, Eventus Security Ltd is a fast-growing cybersecurity services provider that helps organizations stay ahead of evolving digital threats through round-the-clock Security Operations Center (SOC) services, managed security solutions, and cyber-resilience testing. With a team of more than 150 professionals, the company has expanded its footprint across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and the United States, supporting clients facing increasing cloud adoption, data growth, and regulatory pressure. Eventus addresses the global shortage of cybersecurity talent by providing expert monitoring and response capabilities as a trusted outsourced partner.
The company’s strength lies in its combination of human expertise and proprietary technology. Eventus has developed its own security platform, including a Security Data Lake, SOAR automation, and AI-driven threat-intelligence tools, enabling analysts to detect and prioritize threats with speed and precision. Supported by a strong regional presence and deep regulatory awareness, Eventus delivers responsive, high-quality security services and is well positioned to scale alongside the rapidly expanding global cybersecurity market.
