Enterprise-grade identity and access security should not require an enterprise-sized budget, a six-month implementation, or a dedicated IAM team to run it.
Akku is a full-stack IAM and PAM platform built for Indian mid-market organisations: the companies that have real compliance obligations, real infrastructure to protect, and real constraints on time and resources. We built Akku for the IT leader who needs to pass a regulatory audit, secure privileged access to production servers, and get users onboarded without a system integrator, all at the same time.
Most organisations end up with a patchwork: one tool for SSO, another for MFA, a third for privileged access, something else for device management. Each product has its own admin console, its own offboarding process, its own audit log. When an employee leaves, you are logging into four systems. When an auditor asks for a consolidated access report, you are manually stitching data together.
Akku covers the full identity stack from a single platform.
Workforce IAM
SSO, MFA, user lifecycle management, contextual access control, and identity monitoring for your entire user base.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Credential vaulting, session proxying, just-in-time access, session recording, and audit trails for your administrators and critical infrastructure.
Customer IAM (CIAM)
Secure, scalable customer identity with consent management built for DPDPA.
GPO Management
Centralised device policy enforcement across Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
Device enrolment, compliance enforcement, and remote management.
Global IAM vendors are built for global markets. Their compliance templates reference GDPR, SOX, and HIPAA. The frameworks that actually govern Indian enterprises, RBI Cybersecurity Framework, SEBI CSCRF, IRDAI Information Security Guidelines, and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, are afterthoughts, if they are mentioned at all.
Akku is headquartered in Chennai. Our customers are Indian banks, financial services firms, manufacturing companies, IT/ITeS organisations, and regulated enterprises. The compliance frameworks they operate under are the frameworks we built against.
Akku's IAM and PAM controls directly address:
RBI Cybersecurity Framework
Access controls, privileged user monitoring, audit trails, and MFA requirements for scheduled commercial banks.
SEBI CSCRF
Privileged access governance, session recording, and incident response for SEBI-regulated entities.
IRDAI Information Security Guidelines
Access management and audit requirements for insurance companies.
DPDPA 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025
Consent management, data principal rights, and access controls for data fiduciaries.
ISO 27001
Identity and access controls across Annex A.
Enterprise identity solutions from the established global vendors typically require a professional services engagement, a dedicated implementation team, and months before you are live. Akku was built differently, because our customers do not have months, and they do not have a specialist team waiting to take over once a system integrator leaves.
Most Akku IAM deployments are live within days. 500+ pre-built application connectors cover your SaaS estate without custom integration work, and legacy on-premise applications are supported without rebuilding or reconfiguring them. Akku PAM follows the same model: credential vaulting, session proxying, and audit trails operational within hours to a few days, with no complex infrastructure to stand up.
Across the platform, your existing IT team runs Akku from day one. No dedicated IAM engineer. No ongoing professional services dependency.
CyberArk, Okta, and Microsoft Entra are excellent products. They are also priced for organisations with dedicated security teams, six-figure annual budgets for identity tooling, and the internal capacity to manage complex deployments. For the 200 to 2,000 employee Indian enterprise, those products are often out of reach, or they consume disproportionate resources to deploy and maintain.
Akku delivers the same core capabilities: privileged session management, dynamic credential vaulting, adaptive MFA, just-in-time access, compliance-ready audit trails, at a price point designed for the mid-market.
This is not a trimmed-down version of enterprise PAM. It is full-stack identity and access security built from the ground up for organisations that need it to work without a dedicated security operations team running it.

Anahat acts as a bridge between our customers and our psychometric solution partners, and we are bound by strict compliance requirements. Akku's device-based restrictions provided us with this control.
We handle sensitive financial data for our clients every day. Akku's IP-based restriction helped us get this access control up and running in no time. And the addition of single sign-on has streamlined our login process, making it both secure and user-friendly.
