Dr. Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director, Quick Heal Technologies Limited
“We appreciate the Government’s strong thrust on digital acceleration across services, cloud infrastructure and data centre ecosystems, which will significantly expand how enterprises, institutions and citizens engage with digital systems.
The extension of tax holidays for cloud services, safe harbour frameworks for IT services, and large-scale investments across financial services, logistics, healthcare, education and tourism will lead to deeper adoption of AI-driven and data-led platforms.
With initiatives such as AgriStack integration with AI, digital education ecosystems, medical value tourism hubs and large-scale skilling programmes, cyber resilience becomes foundational to this growth. I am confident that with over three decades of shaping cybersecurity in India, Quick Heal and Seqrite remain committed to protecting country’s digital frontiers and enabling individuals and organisations of all sizes to remain resilient as part of the country’s digital transformation journey.”
Dr. Kailash Katkar, CMD, Quick Heal Technologies Limited
“We thank the Government of India for a forward-looking Budget that places strong emphasis on cutting-edge technologies including AI, digital public infrastructure and expansion of IT and cloud services as well as entrepreneurship at grassroots. The focus on AI-driven systems in healthcare, agriculture (AgriStack) and education ecosystems significantly expands the digital footprint of citizens, making data protection and consumer cyber resilience increasingly critical. Initiatives such as AVGC labs in schools, National Digital Knowledge Grid for tourism, Medical Value Tourism hubs and large-scale skilling programmes further underline the importance of safeguarding personal data, digital identities, and the need for self-reliant indigenous cyber resilience. With a legacy of over 30 years, Quick Heal and Seqrite’s cutting edge cybersecurity solutions have been at the forefront of protecting individuals, businesses, enterprises and govt organisations against evolving digital threats ensuring that India accelerates towards a digitally empowered society.”
Mr. Prakash Ravindran, CEO & Director, InstiFi
“The Union Budget 2026 underscores the government’s intent to build a stronger, more inclusive MSME ecosystem through enhanced credit access, equity support, and digital-first liquidity measures. Initiatives such as the ₹10,000 crore SME Growth Fund, expanded credit guarantee cover, and deeper integration of platforms like TReDS and GeM will be instrumental in unlocking growth for small businesses across India. At InstiFi, we see this as a defining moment for technology-led financial platforms to bridge long-standing credit and compliance gaps, particularly for MSMEs in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The focus on risk capital, invoice financing, and simplified access to formal credit aligns closely with InstiFi’s mission to enable smarter, faster, and more transparent financing for growing enterprises. Overall, the Budget sets the stage for a more resilient, innovation-driven MSME landscape powered by digital financial solutions.”
