Founder & CEO, Offenso  ·  Kochi, Kerala

I teach ethical hacking and build companies that turn students into security professionals.

I run Offenso Hackers Academy, one of Kerala’s leading cybersecurity training centres, along with Offenso Tech School, Offenso Online and Hackware Security Solution. On YouTube and Instagram I explain technology and online safety in Malayalam.

From breaking into systems to building a school for it.

I’ve spent 8+ years in offensive security — penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and red teaming — including work as a Senior Analyst at Deloitte. I’m an EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker.

I started Offenso Hackers Academy in Kochi to teach security the way it’s actually practised: hands-on, in labs, with a clear path to a job. It now has campuses in Kochi, Trivandrum and Calicut, has trained 10,000+ students, and works in official collaboration with Kerala Police Cyberdome.

I also make videos. Mallu Discovery TV covers phones, gadgets and tech tips; my own channel covers ethical hacking, scams and IT careers. Across YouTube and Instagram, {{reach}} people follow along.
