"Chance favours the Prepared'. Cyber security is not our core
competency, it's the only competency that we have. Thus, we
are prepared for the web revolution the world is going through
and strive reaching a point where everybody wants to connect
with us," says Saket Modi. He started off as a hacker, hacking
into the school system in order to get the question paper for
an exam for which he was caught. He ended up confessing
to the teacher soon after and as he grew up, he realised that
his hacking skills can be utilised in more constructive ways.
Finally, at the age of 21, he set up Lucideus alongside Rahul
Tyagi and Vidit Baxi. Saket eventually set up offices in New
Delhi, Palo Alto, New York, Mumbai, Boston and Bangalore.
