Exclusive Networks has announced a pan-India partnership with Druva, a leading provider of cloud-native data protection and cybersecurity solutions. The collaboration integrates Druva’s Data Security Cloud Platform into Exclusive Networks’ advanced cybersecurity portfolio, enhancing its capabilities in modern SaaS data protection, ransomware recovery, and enterprise cloud security.
This strategic alliance will enable Indian enterprises and channel partners to adopt next-generation SaaS-based data protection solutions, helping them secure critical digital assets against evolving cyber threats.
Rising Cybersecurity Threats Fuel Demand for Advanced Data Protection
As cyberattacks and ransomware threats continue to escalate globally, organizations are investing heavily in data security, cloud backup, and disaster recovery solutions. In India, spending on information security and risk management is forecast to reach USD 3.3 billion in 2025, up 16.4% from 2024. However, many organizations still rely on legacy data backup tools that are complex, costly, and inefficient. The partnership between Exclusive Networks and Druva aims to address this gap by offering cloud-native, automated, and scalable data protection for modern enterprises.
Veeranna Ganigere, Regional General Manager – India & SAARC, Exclusive Networks, said, “Today, data is distributed across a fragmented IT landscape that spans cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments. Organizations face the challenge of securing data while unlocking its value for business growth. At Exclusive Networks, we are committed to building a trusted digital world with data security at its core. With Druva’s cloud-native solutions, our partners can empower customers to achieve stronger data resilience and compliance.”
A Modern SaaS-First Approach to Data Security
Through this partnership, channel partners of Exclusive Networks can now offer Druva’s SaaS-first data protection platform, which simplifies how organizations manage, back up, and recover data across multi-cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments.
As a channel-first company, Druva enables its partners to differentiate their offerings, win enterprise clients, and drive recurring revenue through high-value data resilience solutions. It offers Sustained Profitability by building recurring revenue streams and high margins across the customer lifecycle. While, Exclusive Networks embraces a services-first ideology, harnessing innovation and disruption to exceed market growth. It has a unique ‘local sale, global scale’ model, combining the focus and value of local independents with the scale, reach and service excellence of a single worldwide distribution powerhouse.
James Worrall, Vice President, International Channel and MSP at Druva, Oslo, said, “Exclusive Networks’ expertise in cybersecurity and their disruptive approach to innovative technologies make them an ideal partner to help Druva challenge traditional data security methods, expand our reach and accelerate our business growth across India. Their extensive partner ecosystem and proven track record of driving growth for innovative cloud-native solutions align perfectly with our mission to redefine how customers secure and manage their data in the cloud era. We look forward to working with them and their partners to achieve shared success.”
This partnership between Exclusive Networks and Druva positions both companies to lead the Indian cloud security and SaaS data protection market, empowering enterprises to modernize their data backup, compliance, and cyber resilience strategies. Together, they aim to accelerate cloud transformation, AI-driven data management, and zero-trust security adoption across industries like banking, healthcare, manufacturing, IT, and government.
