One of Five Recipients from 400+ Applicants; Partners with IIIT Dharwad to Build Indigenous AI Red-Teaming Platform
BENGALURU, India – October 8, 2025 – Globals ITES Private Limited has been awarded a grant under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology’s IndiaAI Mission Safe and Trusted AI initiative. Selected as one of only five recipients from over 400 nationwide applications, Globals will develop advanced AI security capabilities in partnership with the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Dharwad.
The grant recognizes Globals Anvil, an enterprise-grade red-teaming platform designed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in large language models and AI systems before deployment. Built to NIST ATLAS, OWASP, AIUC, ISO 42001 and EU AI Act’s Red Teaming standards, the platform provides automated vulnerability discovery across 50+ threat categories including prompt injection, jailbreaking, data poisoning, and model extraction.
“AI systems face unique security challenges that traditional cybersecurity approaches cannot adequately address,” said Amruta Desai, Co-founder of Globals. “This grant enables us to build India’s indigenous AI security capabilities while demonstrating that tier-2 and tier-3 cities can lead innovation. Partnering with IIIT Dharwad—in my hometown—proves that world-class AI security research can originate anywhere in India.”
The collaboration with IIIT Dharwad will establish Dharwad as a recognized center of excellence for AI security research, developing indigenous testing methodologies and training the next generation of AI security professionals beyond traditional metropolitan hubs.
“India’s strength lies in its distributed talent,” said Suhas Gopinath, CEO of Globals. “By anchoring world-class AI security research in places like Dharwad, we’re redefining where innovation happens. The future of AI security won’t be built in isolation within metro cities.”
