In cybersecurity, credibility is earned not through claims but through results — and few names in India command the kind of respect that Pratik Dabhi has built before reaching his thirties. A renowned Penetration Tester, Bug Bounty Hunter, and Cybersecurity Educator, Pratik has established himself as one of the country’s most prominent voices in ethical hacking.
Currently serving as a Security Consultant at Deloitte USI, Pratik brings over 5 years of professional experience leading end-to-end penetration testing engagements across Web Applications, APIs, Mobile (Android & iOS), Network, and Thick Client environments for global enterprise clients. His work spans architectural reviews, secure code reviews, and clear, risk-rated vulnerability reporting for both executive and technical audiences.
His expertise is backed by an impressive academic foundation. Pratik holds an M.Sc. in Digital Forensics & Information Security from the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Ahmedabad University. He is certified across some of the industry’s most respected credentials, including PNPT, eWPTXv2, eCPPTv2, CEH Master, and the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner.
As an active bug bounty hunter, Pratik is a member of the elite Synack Red Team and ranks among the world’s top researchers — Top 250 on Bugcrowd, Top 50 on Yogosha, and Top 100 on YesWeHack. He has responsibly disclosed critical vulnerabilities across 100+ organisations worldwide, earning Hall of Fame recognitions from global giants including Microsoft, Apple, Google, Nokia, Intel, Pinterest, Dell Technologies, Hotstar, Mastercard, BlackBerry, Adobe, Red Hat, and even India’s NCIIPC. He was also selected among the Top 20 hackers to represent the GISEC Global live hacking event in Dubai.
