Leadership & Mission
Founded by Ravi Chhetri
WhyNotIAM was born from a simple observation: India has incredible technical talent but lacked a dedicated community focused on Identity & Access Management excellence.
Starting with informal meetups in Hyderabad and a global event in Bengaluru in 2024, the community's vision has grown into Asia's premier IAM community, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation while creating pathways for the next generation of security leaders.
Our mission: Democratize access to World-Class IAM Expertise and build India's reputation as a global center of identity security excellence.
