The partnership aims to empower channel partners with Druva’s cloud-native, SaaS-first data security platform to tackle rising cyber threats and data sprawl
Global cybersecurity specialist Exclusive Networks has announced a pan-India partnership with Druva, a leading provider of data security solutions, to drive the adoption of modern SaaS data protection across the country. The collaboration brings Druva’s Data Security Cloud Platform into Exclusive Networks’ robust cybersecurity portfolio, enhancing its data protection capabilities and partner-driven growth strategy.
“At Exclusive Networks, our mission is to build a trusted digital world with data security as a strategic cornerstone,”
said Veeranna Ganigere, Regional General Manager – India & SAARC, Exclusive Networks.
As organizations navigate an increasingly digital economy, data has become both their most valuable asset and their biggest vulnerability. With ransomware, AI-driven data sprawl, cloud migration, and new regulatory pressures, the need for agile and cost-effective data protection has never been higher. According to Gartner, global end-user security spending is expected to rise to USD 213 billion in 2025, while India’s information security spending is projected to grow 16.4% year-on-year to USD 3.3 billion.
“Exclusive Networks’ deep cybersecurity expertise and market reach make them an ideal partner to accelerate Druva’s growth in India and redefine how customers secure and manage their data in the cloud era,”
added James Worrall, Vice President, International Channel and MSP, Druva.
Despite this growth, many enterprises continue to rely on outdated, complex, and costly data protection solutions. Through this partnership, Exclusive Networks and Druva aim to simplify this challenge by offering a cloud-native, SaaS-first data security platform that is easy to deploy, manage, and scale, while delivering enterprise-grade protection.
“Data today is distributed across fragmented IT environments — spanning cloud, SaaS, and on-premises systems,” explained Ganigere. “Our channel partners can now address this ‘data dilemma’ for customers with Druva’s modern approach, ensuring data resilience, efficiency, and trust.”
As a channel-first company, Druva empowers partners with tools to accelerate growth and deliver sustained profitability. The collaboration offers key advantages for partners, including:
- Industry Leadership – Named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions.
- Rapid Deployment – 100% SaaS, deployable in under five minutes, with no hardware or software to maintain.
- Data Resiliency Guarantee – Up to $10 million protection to ensure partner and customer confidence.
- Strong Recurring Revenue Model – Built on high Net Revenue Retention (NRR) and long-term customer value.
Worrall emphasized that the partnership’s potential goes beyond technology. “Together with Exclusive Networks, we’re helping Indian enterprises modernize data security while enabling partners to build profitable, recurring business models,” he said.
Exclusive Networks continues to expand its ‘local sale, global scale’ strategy, combining localized market insight with global reach to help partners deliver innovative cybersecurity and data protection solutions.
