New Delhi, September 29, 2026: IIRIS has grown from an Indian risk and security firm into an international one, and that growth has now been recognised on a global stage. IIRIS President Mr. Gurpawan Singh received the ET Indo Global Leaders Award 2026 in Dubai for leading this expansion and for his innovation in business. The award was presented at Al Habtoor Palace during the event’s opening session, in front of entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and business leaders from India and the UAE.
The award comes as IIRIS works across India, the Gulf Region, Africa and Asia. The firm delivers risk, security, investigations and technology-led solutions to organisations facing complex, cross-border challenges. Under Mr. Singh’s leadership, IIRIS has built its reputation by combining deep domain expertise, technology and strategy. Clients in many markets now rely on that approach.
The recognition belongs as much to the organisation as to its leader. It shows that IIRIS can compete with, and outperform, established global players, and that an Indian firm can set the standard in risk and security worldwide.
Commenting on the award, Mr. Gurpawan Singh said: “I am honoured to receive the ET Indo Global Leaders Award 2026. This recognition belongs to the entire IIRIS team, whose work has taken our capabilities well beyond India’s borders, and to the clients and partners around the world who trust us with their most critical challenges. IIRIS was built to compete globally. This award shows we are doing just that, and we are only getting started.”
The event celebrated India’s growing standing in the world and the fast-changing India–UAE business corridor. IIRIS’s own journey reflects that story: an Indian firm taking world-class expertise to international markets and strengthening its position as a trusted partner to organisations worldwide.
Looking ahead, IIRIS is preparing for its next phase of growth, built on modern AI. The firm is putting advanced analytics, automation and AI-driven intelligence into its risk, security and investigations services, so clients can see threats earlier and make faster decisions. IIRIS is also building large collaborative platforms that bring together clients, partners, industry experts and technology providers in one ecosystem, where they can share intelligence, work together on solutions and respond to emerging risks. With these plans, IIRIS aims to lead the way in how organisations worldwide understand and manage risk, productivity and intelligence.
