Lt Col Anirudha Rao - CERT-Army - Quantum Defence Initiative
20+ Years of Service 🇮🇳
Infantryman at heart, cyber strategist by trade. From commanding troops in Siachen to leading the Indian Army's CERT, my journey has always revolved around one idea — finding order in chaos.
As Officer-in-Charge, CERT-Army, I lead the nation's defence cyber readiness program, steering initiatives in AI-enabled resilience, quantum security, and ethical digital transformation. I've authored national cyber policies, guided NSAB studies on AI and defence reform, and driven projects worth over ₹3,300 crore from vision to execution.
My research lies at the crossroads of Cyber Warfare, AI Ethics, and Quantum Technologies, exploring how ancient Indian frameworks of dharma and equilibrium can guide the design of responsible, future-ready systems.
A soldier by instinct, a technologist by conviction — I believe that strategy, whether in code or command, begins with understanding the purpose behind the pattern.

Core Philosophy
Ancient Wisdom • Modern Technology • Timeless Balance
Philosophical Pillar
“Like Dharma, true security begins when order finds meaning in understanding.
”
A soldier by instinct, a technologist by conviction. I believe that strategy—whether in code or command—begins with understanding the purpose behind the pattern. Drawing from ancient Indian frameworks of dharma and equilibrium, I explore how timeless wisdom can guide the design of responsible, future-ready systems in an age of quantum computing and artificial intelligence.
