C-DOT Partners with Jumps Automation to Launch AI-Powered Gamified Cybersecurity Platform

In a significant move to strengthen India's cybersecurity ecosystem and promote digital awareness at scale, the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), the Government of India's premier telecom R&D institution, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jumps Automation LLP. The collaboration, formalized under the C-DOT Collaborative Research Programme (CCRP), aims to develop an advanced gamification-based cybersecurity awareness platform tailored for individuals, enterprises, and institutions.

The agreement was signed in the presence of Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO of C-DOT, Mr. Rohan Chandak, Head of Technology at Jumps Automation LLP, members of the C-DOT Board, and senior officials, underscoring the strategic importance of the initiative in the country's digital transformation journey.

Transforming Cybersecurity Training Through Gamification

With cyber threats growing exponentially—India witnessed over 1.5 million cybersecurity incidents in recent years, according to official data—the need for scalable and engaging cybersecurity training has never been more urgent. Traditional awareness programs have often struggled to drive behavioural change, leaving organizations vulnerable to phishing attacks, ransomware, and social engineering exploits.

Addressing this gap, the C-DOT–Jumps Automation platform is designed to revolutionize cybersecurity training by converting it into an immersive, game-based experience. The platform will feature:

• A dynamic gaming arena with real-time challenges

• Leaderboards to encourage competitive learning

• Integrated Learning Management System (LMS) modules

• Interactive discussion forums for peer-to-peer engagement

• Realistic, simulation-driven scenarios covering phishing detection, malware response, social engineering tactics, and crisis management under time constraints

By blending education with engagement, the platform aims to significantly improve knowledge retention and response readiness among users.

AI-Driven Personalization and Real-Time Threat Adaptation

A standout feature of the platform is its AI-powered behavioural analytics engine. This system will continuously monitor user performance, identify learning gaps, and dynamically adjust the complexity of challenges. It will also ensure that training content evolves in real time to reflect emerging cyber threats and attack vectors.

The platform will incorporate a comprehensive reward and performance tracking system, incentivizing users to actively participate and improve. Such features are expected to drive sustained engagement—an area where conventional cybersecurity training tools have historically fallen short.

According to industry estimates, human error accounts for nearly 80–90% of cybersecurity breaches globally. By focusing on behavioural transformation through gamification and AI-driven insights, the initiative seeks to directly address this critical vulnerability.

Indigenous Innovation Supporting Aatmanirbhar Bharat

The solution will leverage the combined strengths of both organizations: Jumps Automation's expertise in artificial intelligence, automation, and enterprise software development, and C-DOT's deep capabilities in indigenous telecom and cybersecurity technologies.

The platform will be developed, rigorously tested, and validated at C-DOT's facilities in New Delhi, ensuring compliance with national security standards and robustness for large-scale deployment. It is expected to be launched as a commercial-grade Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, with future provisions for integration into enterprise systems, government platforms, and educational institutions.

Dr. Rajkumar Upadhyay emphasized the broader national significance of the initiative, stating that the collaboration reflects C-DOT's commitment to building indigenous, scalable solutions that contribute to the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. He highlighted that the platform will empower users to identify and mitigate cyber risks effectively, strengthen incident response capabilities, and adopt global best practices in cybersecurity.

Driving Behavioural Change and Reducing Cyber Risks

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Rohan Chandak noted that the platform has the potential to transform how cybersecurity training is perceived and delivered. He emphasised that the focus is not just on knowledge dissemination, but on driving measurable behavioural change that reduces human-related cyber risks.

The platform's interactive approach is expected to appeal to a wide user base—from corporate employees and IT professionals to students and government officials—making cybersecurity awareness more accessible and impactful.

Strengthening India's Cyber Resilience Framework

As India rapidly expands its digital infrastructure through initiatives such as Digital India, 5G rollout, and increasing adoption of cloud and AI technologies, cybersecurity has emerged as a critical pillar of national security and economic stability.

This collaboration between C-DOT and Jumps Automation represents a forward-looking step in building a resilient digital ecosystem. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI, gamification, and real-time analytics, the initiative aims to foster a culture of proactive cybersecurity awareness across the country.
