With a strong operational base of nearly 600 employees across India, Saviynt’s decision to create this new senior leadership role signals a deeper investment in South Asia. In his new role, Varma will lead the company’s go-to-market initiatives, focus on customer acquisition, expand technical and consulting partnerships, and enhance Saviynt’s brand as a trusted identity security provider in the region.
