Manish Chachada

Yo, let me tell you about Manish Chachada. The guy’s a straight-up powerhouse in the startup and cybersecurity game. He’s the Co-Founder and COO of Cyble, which is like one of the top threat intel firms out there, Forbes even called it a top 20 global cyber startup. No cap. He jumped into Cyble as part of YC’s W21 batch, so he’s got that startup hustle etched in his DNA.

But here’s the real deal, Manish’s story isn’t just about founding a cool company. The dude’s been crushing it for over 15 years across all kinds of fields. He’s got a crazy mix of skills in finance, business management, and cybersecurity, and he’s worked in healthcare, fashion, media, tech, basically everywhere. He’s held roles in startups and Fortune 500s, doing everything from business dev, ops, M&A, to international tax and raising capital. That’s a guy who’s been around the block, understands how to build and scale stuff, and knows what it takes to survive and thrive in the chaos.

He’s super educated too. MBA from Columbia and London Business School, a Chartered Accountant from India, and he’s got a BS in Computer Science, so he’s got the brains, the business savvy, and the tech chops. Basically, he’s the perfect combo of finance nerd and tech geek.

What’s wild is how his past fuels what he’s doing now. His background in finance and cybersecurity isn’t just a resume filler, it’s what makes Cyble the real deal. He saw the bullshit in cybercrime early on, and instead of just complaining, he jumped into the fight. Started Cyble, grew it fast, and now it’s recognized globally. Being part of YC W21 definitely gave him the boost, but he’s the kind of guy who’s wired to turn opportunities into real impact.

He’s also plugged into the scene, a member of Forbes Business Council, co-chairs a tech group at FENG, and stays active in the VC and cybersecurity worlds. He’s based in Cupertino, which is basically Silicon Valley’s epicenter, and recently got involved with YC’s S23 batch project Sweetspot, so he’s always looking ahead.

Long story short, Manish is the real deal. He’s a tech and finance veteran who turned his experience into a startup that’s fighting cyber threats at the highest level. His process shows what it means to really jump into the chaos, learn fast, adapt, and crush it. He’s not just building a company; he’s having an effect, and you can tell he’s got that relentless drive to keep pushing the limits. That’s why he’s someone to watch.
