He said artificial intelligence (AI) will be an important factor that will have an impact on the segment.

"It is a greenfield for the segment. We are still trying to figure out the impact of AI. We are also seeing the geopolitics scenario at present has made the market conducive for India cybersecurity companies," Godse said.
