Anshu Sharma

Anshu Sharma has been a leading voice in redefining how enterprises approach AI security and privacy. During the past year, he has focused on helping organisations prepare for the AI era by building architectures that allow AI systems to access sensitive data without exposing it, a critical capability as enterprises adapt to India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework.

Under his leadership, Skyflow has challenged the traditional approach of securing data after it has been replicated across multiple systems. Instead, the company advocates privacy-first architectures that minimise sensitive data exposure from the outset, enabling enterprises to deploy AI responsibly while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Sharma believes the next phase of AI adoption will be defined not by larger models but by secure data architectures. In his view, organisations must shift from asking how to secure exposed data to designing systems where sensitive information remains protected by default.
