Forging India's
AI Security
Leaders
We are India's first cybersecurity academy that integrates AI security specialization into every program — producing professionals equipped not just for today's threats, but for tomorrow's challenges.
Closing the
AI Security
Skills Gap
Encrynox Academy was born from a simple observation: the cybersecurity industry was changing faster than training programs could keep up. As AI tools flooded security operations centers across India, professionals were left behind — trained for a world that no longer existed.
We exist to close that gap. Every program we design begins with one question: "What does a security professional need to thrive in an AI-powered world?"
Our answer is a curriculum that fuses 25 years of real-world security expertise with cutting-edge AI security techniques — producing graduates who don't just use security tools, but understand and extend them.
"The greatest threat to cybersecurity professionals isn't hackers — it's standing still while the world moves forward."
— Mahadev Thukaram, FounderEvery concept taught through real enterprise tools. No theory without hands-on application. Students graduate with portfolios, not just certificates.
AI security isn't an add-on — it's woven into everything we teach. Our graduates understand both how to use AI for defense and how attackers weaponize it.
We measure success by one metric: did our students get meaningful jobs? 100% placement assistance isn't a promise — it's our purpose.
Maximum 30 students per batch. Not because we can't scale — because your career transformation deserves personal attention.

25 Years of Defending
the Digital World
Mahadev Thukaram began his cybersecurity journey when the internet was still finding its footing. Over 28+ years, he has designed security frameworks for enterprises, conducted comprehensive risk assessments, and responded to incidents that made headlines — all before dedicating himself to the mission of training the next generation.
As certifed trainer for Forcepoint and Netskope, Mahadev has delivered training to Fortune 500 security teams across India and globally. His published book, "Advanced Malware Analysis & Intelligence", is used as a reference by practising security professionals.
In 2026, recognizing the seismic shift AI was causing in security operations, Mahadev founded Encrynox Academy — with one mission: produce security professionals ready for an AI-powered threat landscape.

The Encrynox
Philosophy
Most training programs teach concepts, then show tools. We do the opposite. Students open Splunk on Day 1, work through scenarios, then understand why the tool works the way it does. Real skills form through doing, not listening.
We cap every batch at 30 students. Not because we must, but because we've seen what happens when instructors know every student's background, learning pace, and career goals. The outcome difference is transformational.
Every security concept at Encrynox is taught through two lenses: "How does traditional security handle this?" and "How does AI change the picture?" Students graduate with dual fluency — classical security and AI-powered defense.
Career preparation isn't an afterthought in our programs — it starts on Day 1. Resume workshops, LinkedIn optimization, mock interviews, and industry connections are woven throughout, so students are job-ready long before they graduate.
Every student leaves with GitHub-hosted projects they built themselves. A working phishing detector. A configured SIEM environment. A documented penetration test. These aren't certificates — they're proof of capability.
What Our
Alumni Say
90% of past students recommend our programs. Here's what they experienced.
"This course transformed my career! The hands-on experience with tools like Splunk and Metasploit gave me the confidence to tackle real-world cybersecurity challenges. The placement support was genuinely personal — Mahadev made calls on my behalf."
"The focus on cloud security tools like AWS Security Hub and Azure Sentinel set me apart in every interview. Companies were impressed that I could demonstrate hands-on experience, not just knowledge. Worth every rupee."
"I came in with zero security experience. 180 days later I had a job offer at Wipro for ₹11 LPA. The curriculum is intense but the support system around it — the calls, the mock interviews, the connections — that's what makes Encrynox different."
