Hi! I'm Pallav Avatarit
I build digital shields and lead them with clarity.
​
I’m currently working as a Cyber Security Project Manager, orchestrating large-scale security projects that span across application, network, and cloud environments. With a Master’s in Cyber Security from the University of Birmingham and diverse experience in both Indian and European ecosystems, I’ve learned to balance technical depth with empathetic leadership.
​
My strength lies in translating chaos into order - whether it’s managing multiple pentesting engagements for a Fortune 500 client or delivering spotless readout sessions under tight deadlines. At Payatu, I don’t just oversee projects - I shape delivery experiences that leave clients confident and secure.
But this journey goes beyond work.
​
I’m also an explorer - of ideas, skies, and stories. When I’m not breaking down vulnerabilities or structuring delivery roadmaps, you’ll likely find me framing the Northern Lights through my lens, mapping constellations, or documenting the pulse of cities through street photography. I believe every good security professional is also a good observer - and that’s what I try to be.
If you're building something that needs someone who understands both the stakes of security and the subtleties of human connection, we should definitely talk.
