About us

Making of Appknox

Our story begins in Bangalore, India, where two friends get together with
a mammoth mission to secure applications that the world uses.


2014

Subho Halder, Appknox CISO, discovered a keen interest in finding security issues in mobile applications during his teenage years. Harshit Agarwal, a serial entrepreneur, alumni of the Microsoft Venture Accelerator, and current CEO of Appknox, also shared this passion for end-to-end mobile app security.

 

Subho's fascination with cybersecurity and Harshit's entrepreneurial drive has now turned into an obsession and a full-time job that keeps these two busy each day.
