Resilience Redefined for a World That Can’t Afford to Pause.
The AI Disruptor Who Thinks Like a Guardian
In a world where disruption is no longer a rare event but a recurring reality, business leaders are rethinking what it means to be resilient. Among the vanguard is Rohil Sharma, the visionary CEO and Co-founder of Perpetuuiti, whose mission goes far beyond boardroom goals. He sees operational resilience not just as a competitive edge—but as a national security and economic imperative.
“Business continuity is no longer a compliance checkbox—it’s a survival skill,” Rohil shares. “When you consider the domino effect of disruptions—from natural disasters to cyberattacks—it becomes clear that operational resilience must be embedded into the DNA of every enterprise.”
Rohil, featured on this month’s cover of The 10 Most Influential Leaders Shaping the Future of Business, 2025, is a technologist at heart and a strategist by vision. With co-founder Sundar Raman, he built Perpetuuiti from the ground up with one purpose: to intelligently automate resilience at scale using the transformative power of AI.
A Vision Rooted in Urgency and Purpose
More than a decade ago, Rohil Sharma identified a silent crisis unfolding across enterprise landscapes—a dangerous gap between written continuity plans and real-world resilience. While businesses believed they were prepared for disruption, most had nothing more than outdated manuals and spreadsheets collecting dust.
“Disruption doesn’t wait for approvals or checklists,” Rohil notes. “In the moment of crisis, you need systems that think, act, and recover—autonomously and instantly.”
That bold thinking led to the birth of Perpetuuiti, and the development of its flagship product, Continuity Patrol™—an AI-enabled Operational Resilience Automation Platform designed to monitor complex digital environments, orchestrate intelligent failover, and enable single-click recovery of critical services across hybrid infrastructures without human intervention. Rohil didn’t just see the future—he engineered the infrastructure for it. And in doing so, he redefined how organizations prepare for the unexpected.
The Imperative of Resilience in 2025
In today’s hyper-connected world, disruption has become the default—not the exception. From cyberattacks and ransomware incidents to infrastructure outages and geopolitical instability, the threats facing enterprises have intensified both in frequency and impact. According to Gartner, by 2026, 70% of CEOs will mandate a culture of operational resilience to survive simultaneous threats from cybercrime, supply chain instability, and geopolitical pressures. Meanwhile, cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure have surged by over 45% globally in just the past year.
Against this backdrop, operational resilience has emerged as a national security and economic imperative. Governments and regulators are responding swiftly. In the European Union, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is enforcing stringent standards for ICT risk management across financial institutions. In the United States, directives from the SEC, Federal Reserve, OCC, and NIST emphasize resilience, incident response, and continuity planning not as reactive strategies—but as core tenets of systemic integrity. In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has strengthened its digital supervision frameworks, placing heightened emphasis on operational resilience, cyber incident response, and business continuity readiness across the financial ecosystem.
“Regulators across the world are aligning with what we’ve been saying for years—resilience can no longer be an afterthought. It must be built-in, intelligent, and continuous,” says Rohil Sharma. “And it’s no longer just IT’s responsibility—it’s a shared executive concern. At Perpetuuiti, our mission is to make that transition seamless, smart, and scalable.”
This shift is not just about compliance—it’s about survival. Businesses must now prove they can operate through disruption, not just recover from it.
Delivering Autonomous Operational Resilience at Scale
Perpetuuiti stands at the forefront of a global transformation, redefining operational resilience through AI-powered automation, agentic intelligence, and intelligent failover orchestration. Its AI-enabled Operational Resilience Automation Platform enables organizations to shift from reactive recovery models to predictive and autonomous continuity, where disruptions are rapidly identified, response paths are orchestrated automatically, and critical operations continue with minimal interruption.
Enterprises leveraging Perpetuuiti’s intelligent platform have achieved up to 80% reduction in Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), with 50% lower operating costs, and significant improvements in compliance readiness. The platform’s intelligent architecture allows for 1-click invocation of failover processes across complex enterprise environments—empowering uninterrupted business continuity without manual intervention or delay.
By aligning its offerings with regulatory frameworks such as DORA, NIST 800-53/800-160, and the SEC’s new cybersecurity disclosure mandates, Perpetuuiti is enabling critical service providers to embed resilience into their digital DNA. In Rohil’s words, “Our mission isn’t just to protect infrastructure—it’s to fortify the confidence that economies, governments, and people place in the systems they rely on every day.”

Today, Perpetuuiti serves Fortune 500 companies and mission-critical sectors—banks, insurance companies, government agencies, oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, and more—all of which form the bedrock of national infrastructure.
In the banking sector, where regulatory scrutiny is intense and uptime is non-negotiable, Perpetuuiti helps institutions not only meet frameworks like DORA and the RBI’s operational resilience mandates, but also operate with predictive incident readiness. Major banks leveraging the platform have reduced disruption response time, maintained uninterrupted access to digital services, and enhanced trust among regulators and customers alike.
In oil & gas and energy, where physical and digital systems are deeply intertwined, the platform ensures uninterrupted operations—even in the face of cyberattacks or critical infrastructure outages. This prevents cascading failures that can affect national energy supply chains and public services.
Government bodies and utilities use Perpetuuiti to build resilience into citizen-facing services, ensuring critical functions like transport, healthcare systems, and emergency services remain available—especially during crises.
Across sectors, the results are measurable: dramatic reduction in downtime, faster failover execution, increased regulatory confidence, and lower economic risk exposure. But beyond metrics, the true value lies in ensuring people, cities, and economies continue functioning—even when the unexpected happens.
“In today’s AI-driven world, resilience isn’t optional—it’s a survival strategy,” says Rohil. “Every organization will face disruption. Most will eventually recover. But the real question is—how fast, how intelligently, and how seamlessly can that recovery happen? That’s where Perpetuuiti makes the difference. Even if your systems go down or your teams are unreachable, our platform ensures your services stay up, your customers stay connected, and your reputation stays intact.”
Real-World Impact: Resilience Where It Matters Most
Across industries and geographies, Perpetuuiti’s platform has been at the center of mission-critical resilience transformations.

Meanwhile, a major global communications enterprise used Perpetuuiti’s platform to automate and fortify their continuity posture, achieving an 80% reduction in RTOs during critical outages. The result: uninterrupted connectivity, millions saved in avoided downtime losses, and reinforced public trust in essential infrastructure.
These transformations go beyond business continuity—they reflect a growing national and economic imperative: to ensure that critical services remain operational no matter the threat. Whether it’s enabling flight safety, powering communications, or supporting public infrastructure, Perpetuuiti’s impact is measured not just in minutes of uptime—but in the confidence of nations, the safety of systems, and the resilience of society itself.
From Reactive Recovery to Autonomous Resilience
Traditional business continuity and recovery has been largely reactive—responding after a disruption, restoring operations, and attempting to return to normal. But in an era defined by relentless digital dependency and threat complexity, this approach is no longer sufficient. Perpetuuiti is reshaping that mindset with a shift toward autonomous operational resilience—a model built not just to recover, but to anticipate, prevent, and adapt in real time.
Modern complex IT ecosystems demand agility, foresight, and automation to recover from disruptions effectively and the same can be achieved through adoption of Autonomous Resiliency frameworks and solutions. Perpetuuiti’s AI-enabled Operational Resiliency Automation Platform continuously monitors hybrid infrastructure environments, identifies anomalies as they emerge, and orchestrates response workflows that ensure uninterrupted continuity—even amid unexpected challenges. By integrating advanced technologies like machine learning, predictive analytics, and intelligent failover, the platform enables proactive resilience that evolves with each new risk landscape.
This transformative approach moves organizations from dependency on manual recovery to an intelligent, self-healing resilience architecture. It’s not just about bouncing back—it’s about staying ahead of disruption and ensuring business continuity by design, not by chance.
As operational resilience becomes essential to safeguard economies and critical infrastructure, Perpetuuiti’s autonomous framework empowers enterprises to minimize financial impact, protect reputations, and uphold customer trust—no matter what unfolds.
“Operational resilience isn’t just about recovering after something breaks—it’s about being ready before it does,” says Rohil Sharma. “To quote Steven Cyros, ‘When disaster strikes, the time to prepare has passed.’ That’s why we built a framework that enables organizations to react swiftly, recover intelligently, and protect what matters most—before the impact is even felt.”
