The private security industry encapsulates a large unorganised sector that needs more attention from the governing authorities, and is also one of the biggest employer in the country. The public and private security is often debated to bridge the gap between the two and form a concrete base for India’s security.
However, despite the challenges, security leaders and organisations continue to take correct initiatives and are marching towards developing a better India.
Technology is reshaping the Indian private security industry among ongoing cybercrime, with the emergence of AI, machine learning, being the need of the hour in a digitally motivated world.
