Maya Prakash Pandey

With over two decades of progressive experience in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, including the last 4-5 years in strategic leadership roles, I bring a well-rounded blend of technical depth, regulatory insight, and executive oversight to lead and secure mission-critical environments.

As the current Chief Information Security Officer at Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited, I have led the development of cybersecurity strategy, governance, and operational execution across electricity distribution, transmission, and Smart Metering/AMI systems. My accomplishments include securing OT/ICS environments, integrating 24x7 SOC/NOC operations, achieving CII alignment, improving cyber maturity ratings, and ensuring compliance with CERT-In, DPDP 2023, and NCIIPC guidelines. I have also overseen successful DR/BCP builds, conducted advanced red-teaming drills, and implemented Cyber Safe Backup strategies with measurable RTO/RPO achievements.

Previously, I held infrastructure leadership roles at Reliance Infrastructure Ltd., where I led the deployment of SAP landscapes, multi-OS and database migrations, and large-scale cloud transitions. My foundation in core infrastructure, combined with recent success in cybersecurity transformation, makes me uniquely positioned to protect and enable digital ecosystems within regulated sectors.

I hold an MTech in Cybersecurity & Infrastructure from BITS Pilani and a suite of certifications, including OT/ICS Security (ISEA-CDAC), DSCI Privacy Professional, TOGAF 9, and multiple governance frameworks such as ITIL, PRINCE2, and COBIT5. 

My leadership in national-level OT cyber exercises (CII SECEX 2024 & 2025) and recognition as part of an award-winning cybersecurity team further underscore my commitment to excellence in this field.

I am passionate about building resilient, compliant, and forward-looking cybersecurity programs that align with business imperatives. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to continued growth and leadership in this domain.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to the vision and mission of the organisation.
