Saviynt partners with St. Fox to boost identity security in India

Sat, 13th Sep 2025

Saviynt has announced a strategic partnership with St. Fox to support its go-to-market strategy and execution in India.

The collaboration is focused on delivering integrated identity security solutions to organisations undergoing rapid digital transformation across the country. As Indian enterprises adapt to new IT environments and compliance requirements, there is heightened demand for advanced identity platforms that offer both security and agility.

Identity focus

Under the agreement, Saviynt and St. Fox will jointly offer a suite of services, including Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Just-in-Time Access (JITA), and Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM). St. Fox will provide implementation expertise and cybersecurity delivery, using local teams to expand Saviynt's reach in India.

"St. Fox is not just a new partner, we see them as a force multiplier," said Nitin Varma, Managing Director, India and SAARC at Saviynt. "As we shape our India GTM strategy, building the right ecosystem becomes imperative. We are investing in a scalable, trusted partner ecosystem built on the foundational pillars of enablement, loyalty, and profitability - aligned solely to create meaningful outcomes for our customers. Together, as we co-create, we will help enterprises reimagine privilege, access, and trust, not around static perimeters, but around dynamic identities, henceforth transforming identity from a potential vulnerability into a competitive strength."

Sector reach

The companies aim to strengthen Saviynt's market position in key sectors such as Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), Healthcare and Life Sciences, Manufacturing and Industrial, and Information Technology / Information Technology Enabled Services (IT/ITES).

By combining Saviynt's technology platform with St. Fox's cybersecurity experience, the partners intend to offer advisory-led IGA transformation programmes, design industry-specific risk and compliance frameworks, and provide enterprise solutions for identity lifecycle management in hybrid and cloud environments.

Zero Trust security enablement is also a central component, leveraging risk-aware access, entitlement management and continuous governance measures.

Executive perspectives

"At St. Fox, we recognise the fact that identity has become the new perimeter. Cyber threats continue to evolve, and identity compromise remains a common pattern in all major breaches. Further, a strategy to rely only on MFA or SSO i.e., 'Access Management' is not helping anymore while the burden of compliance and reporting is increasing manifold. To address these challenges for our customers, we are proud to partner with industry leader Saviynt, a true cloud-native, identity-centric platform that converges IGA, PAM, JITA and ISPM requirements into a single, unified platform," said Sunil Tak, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at St. Fox. 

This latest partnership builds on Saviynt's regional investment strategy in India, which includes a research and development and support centre with more than 600 employees. The company has made recent managerial appointments, including Sandeep Anand to lead partner strategy in India, and continues to grow its go-to-market and partner enablement teams.

"We are scaling fast in India, with local talent, local support, and now, the right local partnerships," said Sunil Kedaraji, Vice President of Partner Sales for APJ at Saviynt. "Our ecosystem engagement is maturing, and our collaboration with St. Fox is a key part of that. We are focused on accelerating time-to-value for customers and co-creating innovative, secure identity solutions that are tailored to the Indian market."

Zero Trust for Indian market

The partnership is designed to deliver coverage, capability and capacity for enterprises seeking resilient identity management solutions. Organisations in India are expected to benefit from streamlined identity operations and improved security postures, supporting broader adoption of Zero Trust principles as digital transformation accelerates.
