Aphelion: the point in an orbit farthest from the sun

About Aphelion Cyber: founded 2024, and we say so.

Aphelion Cyber is a cybersecurity consultancy and platform company working from Ahmedabad and Sharjah. We help organisations build a proactive and resilient security posture through risk management and governance, security architecture, identity and access management, cloud and network security, and incident response.

The company was incorporated in 2024. That is a young company, and there is no version of this page that pretends otherwise. You will not find “over a decade of experience” anywhere on this site, because the company has not existed for a decade. The experience belongs to the people, it is considerable, and it is named below with the years attached to the person who earned them.

In a category that sells almost entirely through fear, we would rather show you the room. Every interactive instrument on this site runs on labelled sample data and teaches one thing you can go and verify yourself. That is the whole marketing strategy.

The name, and the record

01 / 05

Six stations, and nothing invented between them.

Aphelion is the far point of an orbit, the vantage from which you can see the whole system at once. The diagram below carries only facts we can source; where there is no date, there is no date.

Leadership

02 / 05

Led by people with names.

Three of them, and you will meet at least one on any engagement worth the description. Experience below is attributed to the individual, never to the company.

Darshap Nayak

Chief Executive Officer

Formerly a consultant at KPMG. Holds a master’s degree in cybersecurity, with more than seven years in security operations, the discipline of watching an environment continuously rather than auditing it annually.

LinkedIn

Hemang Desai

Chief Operating Officer

An ICT network specialist from Australia. Systems, networks and technical support: the part of security that has to work at three in the morning, on somebody else’s infrastructure, without drama.

LinkedIn

Jaimin Somani

Director of Cybersecurity & VAPT

Fifteen years and more of academic and hands-on vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. He sets the testing methodology, and he still reads the reports before they leave.

What we are for

03 / 05

Mission, vision, and three values that cost something.

Mission

To help businesses build a proactive and resilient cybersecurity posture, through consulting in risk management, governance, security architecture, identity and access management, cloud and network security, and incident response.

Vision

To become a trusted global leader in cybersecurity consulting, empowering organisations to navigate the evolving digital landscape through innovative, resilient and proactive security solutions that safeguard their people, assets and future.

01
Utmost integrity

The expensive version: telling a prospect that a cloud platform would serve them better than ours, and telling a client that the finding they wanted downgraded is staying where it is.

02
Proactive defense

Finding it before someone else does. Everything on the Detect side of our capability map exists because the alternative is learning about your exposure from an attacker.

03
Resilience & adaptability

Assume something will get through eventually, and measure yourself on what happens next. Rehearsal is the cheapest control in security and the least often bought.

Delivery outcomes: Trust  ·  Agility  ·  Resilience

Who we work with

04 / 05

Eight industries, and 100+ organizations secured.

  • Finance & Banking
  • Healthcare
  • Retail & E-commerce
  • Technology
  • SaaS
  • Hospitality
  • Manufacturing
  • Pharmaceuticals

A hundred-plus organisations across the globe is the number we can source, so it is the number we publish. There are no counters on this page ticking up from zero, no percentages without a citation, and no testimonials, because the ones worth printing take longer to earn than this company has existed.

We name a client only with their written permission. Several of the organisations we work with are in sectors where being named as a security client is itself a disclosure.

Where we are

05 / 05

Two offices, one practice.

Ahmedabad, India

203 Shanti Mall, Sattadhar Cross Road, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380081. The consulting practice and the testing team.

Where regulation forbids egress, the AphelioNYX AD Pen-Test module runs entirely inside your perimeter: no outbound calls, by design rather than by firewall rule.
