AAA TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, REVOLUTIONIZING THE REALM OF CYBER SECURITY SINCE 2000

Led by Chairman and Managing Director, Mr Anjay Agarwal, the firm personifies rendering accurate, reliable and innovative services thereby rendering quality services to the clients. The journey of AAA Technologies was incepted as early starters in October 2000 when computerization was picking up.

“At that time, we felt that there would be a need for checking computer controls instead of the traditional audit as organisations start relying on computers. Hence, we ventured into this area and are one of the pioneers,” Anjay Agarwal shared.

Contrary to speculations, AAA is not derived from the visionary’s name. Rather, it signifies benchmarking delivering the best services to clients. As the man himself puts it, “What can signify better than “AAA” rating. Our motto is to provide Accurate, Reliable and Innovative Services to our clients.”

Acceptance, initially, was a challenge as organisations were hesitant to change when they were purchasing products from well-reputed vendors. Over some time, they have released the need for AAA solutions.
