Bengaluru, NFAPost: Wibu-Systems, a global leader in software protection, licensing, and cybersecurity, strengthened its India commitment by officially inaugurating WIBU-SYSTEMS India Pvt. Ltd in Bengaluru on Thursday.
Organised together with VDMA India, the launch event happened in the presence of Wibu-Systems’ CEO and co-founder Oliver Winzenried, senior specialists from the company’s German headquarters and the leadership of its Indian organisation. The India operation of Wibu Systems India will be headquartered in Hyderabad with marketing offices in Bengaluru and Pune.
Wibu-Systems AG CEO and co-founder Oliver Winzenried said the company’s investment in India is about much more than establishing another location on the map.
“We see a market with extraordinary engineering competence and a growing ability to create its own digital intellectual property and software-driven products. With WIBU-SYSTEMS India, we are creating the local foundation for long-term cooperation while keeping our customers closely connected with the technology, research, and expertise developed at our headquarters in Germany. We want to help Indian innovators protect what they create and build scalable business models around it,” said Wibu-Systems AG CEO and co-founder Oliver Winzenried.
At the centre of German-headquartered Wibu-Systems’ offering in India is CodeMeter, a comprehensive technology platform that combines software protection with flexible licensing and entitlement management.
Its scope extends across the entire software business lifecycle: Developers can protect software and firmware against unauthorised copying, manipulation, and reverse engineering; manufacturers can control access to paid functionality; and commercial teams can create perpetual, subscription, feature-based, usage-based, and other licensing models tailored to different products and markets.
Companies beginning their licensing journey can also use CodeMeter Licensing-as-a-Service (CmLaaS) to accelerate implementation with ready-to-use infrastructure and predefined workflows rather than first building a complete licensing backend of their own.
CodeMeter License Reporting adds visibility into license usage, giving software vendors a stronger factual basis for understanding how licensed products and features are being used and for developing future commercial offerings.
Wibu-Systems India Pvt Ltd operation is led by Dr Ashok-Kumar Chandra-Sekaran and he pointed out that their task is to connect the depth of Wibu-Systems’ technology with the realities of doing business in India.
“That means being close to customers and partners, understanding how their products are evolving, and identifying where software protection and licensing can create genuine commercial value. Indian companies are developing increasingly sophisticated software-enabled offerings, and our local presence allows us to work with them from the first licensing concept through to scalable deployment and ongoing business operations,” said Dr. Ashok-Kumar Chandra-Sekaran.
Dr Ashok-Kumar Chandra-Sekaran spearheads the company’s business development in India, combining his role at Wibu-Systems’ headquarters in Karlsruhe with frequent on-the-ground engagement in the country. This approach is designed to keep the Indian organisation closely connected with Wibu-Systems’ development, product, and specialist teams in Germany while building relationships and responding directly to the priorities of the Indian market.
The Board of Directors of Wibu-Systems India Pvt Ltd comprises Dr Ashok-Kumar Chandra-Sekaran and Elke Winzenried.
Besides German Bengaluru Consul General Designate Christoph Dorschfeldt, the event also witnessed a few existing clients and partners sharing their experience working with Wibu-Systems products and services.
