BW Security World has launched the third edition of its flagship publication, offering a comprehensive, multi-dimensional overview of India’s growing security ecosystem. The issue comes at a time when the nation’s internal and external security strategies are being reshaped by technology, talent, and geopolitics.
A centrepiece of this edition is a revisit to the preparations for Maha Kumbh Mela 2025, where Uttar Pradesh deployed one of the largest digital surveillance and crowd management operations in the country’s history. With over 400 million pilgrims, the story chronicles how AI-powered video analytics, drone surveillance, and integrated command centres are redefining faith-based public security.
This report not only captures the magnitude of logistical coordination but also examines the emerging role of smart city protocols and predictive policing at mass religious gatherings, demonstrating how tradition and technology can work in tandem.
Startups, Cyber Frontlines And Cybersecurity
The issue also presents a deep dive into India’s private security industry, shedding light on how startups are disrupting the conventional security landscape. From AI-driven anomaly detection to autonomous surveillance bots, the feature analyses how homegrown tech ventures are reimagining risk mitigation in both physical and digital spaces.
An exclusive interview with Rajeev Sharma, Country Managing Director of G4S India, offers insights into the evolving expectations from private security agencies, the tech integration imperative, and the road ahead for manpower optimisation in security services.
One of the key thematic explorations of the edition is how organisations are re-evaluating their leadership risks. The feature titled ‘Security Starts with Leadership’ uncovers the invisible vulnerabilities in C-suite recruitment, addressing the ethical, cyber, and reputational risks posed by gaps in executive background vetting and governance protocols.
Complementing this is a special segment on Cyber Deception 2.0, which explores how Indian enterprises are deploying decoy networks, honeypots, and behavioural analytics as proactive defence measures against targeted cyber intrusions.
India's Risk Outlook 2025
The issue also offers an authoritative snapshot of India’s risk outlook for 2025, drawing on perspectives from security leaders, risk officers, and analysts. It examines how businesses are recalibrating resilience strategies in response to hybrid threats, from geopolitical tensions and insider risks to AI-driven attacks.
A featured report, ‘Strengthening India’s Security Through Public-Private Collaboration’, underlines the strategic importance of industry-government partnerships in securing critical infrastructure, urban spaces, and digital borders.
Recognising India’s Security And FM Leaders
As part of its commitment to spotlighting emerging leadership, the edition also features the BW Security World 40 Under 40 Awards, which honour the trailblazers redefining security practices across various domains.
The issue also highlights the BW Facility Management 40 Under 40 Awards, which recognise innovation and impact in the FM industry through leadership excellence. Read the e-magazine here
