## Summary

Saket Mohan is most useful for expert-led automotive cybersecurity thought leadership on connected and software-defined vehicles.

- Best for: Automotive cybersecurity vendors targeting EV and software-defined-vehicle manufacturers with expert-led B2B content.
- Not for: Consumer micromobility lifestyle campaigns needing short-form video, broad commuter reach and purchase conversion.
- Check first: Confirm audience composition and engagement terms, since no rate card or sponsorship format is documented.

### Takeaways

- App removal is an emergency measure, not a lasting fix for e-rickshaw battery shutdown.
- Software-defined vehicles need detection, analysis, decision-making and secure deployment as a connected loop.
- CRISKLE Workspace brings risk assessment, software bills of materials, vulnerability management and post-market monitoring together.

## Main ideas

- **A connected-vehicle attack is a lifecycle problem, not an app-store problem**: Mohan argues that removing a vulnerable app is only an emergency brake. If a low-cost connected product can be misused, the weakness usually lies earlier—in procurement, architecture, development, validation, supply-chain onboarding or post-production monitoring. The durable fix is secure-by-design development, supply-chain visibility across battery-management systems, apps, firmware and connected components, basic authentication, cryptography and access control, continuous monitoring, and incident-response playbooks.
- **Software-defined vehicles need a closed loop, not just over-the-air updates**: Mohan argues that OTA delivery alone is not enough for software-defined vehicles. Vehicles need continuous intelligence and risk-aware decisions across the lifecycle, so detection, analysis, decision and secure deployment should operate as one loop. That means combining intrusion detection, security operations and compliance rules with update delivery.
- **Regulation should become an operational process**: Mohan argues that manufacturers need a practical way to connect product security engineering with the documentation and processes regulators require. Interpreting a regulation is not the same as running it: risk assessment, SBOM, vulnerability management, PSIRT, compliance documentation and post-market monitoring have to work together across the product lifecycle.
- **Cross-border automotive cybersecurity depends on local partnerships and preparation**: Mohan argues that a trade agreement opens a door but does not create business by itself. UK automotive SMEs need local investment, trusted partnerships, regulatory alignment, IP protection and long-term commitment to capture opportunities in India's electric, connected and software-defined mobility market.

## Brand relationships

- **Secure Elements** (employment)
- **Excelfore Corporation** (disclosed_partnership)

## Partnerships

The four posts are company and product announcements, not paid placements or creator-collaboration formats. They cover Secure Elements' corporate activity: a co-development tie-up with Excelfore Corporation on eSyncSynapse, announced for CAEVExpo 2026 in Bangalore; a UK–India business expansion tied to the UK–India CETA coming into force on 15 July 2026, with Secure Elements UK growing its Bengaluru presence alongside Secure Elements India; a Bluetooth-enabled attack on an e-rickshaw battery management system, where the team assessed the app and argues for secure-by-design practice; and CRISKLE Workspace for EU Cyber Resilience Act compliance. None is a sponsored post, and the posts provide no rate card, disclosure policy, or inquiry route for brand partnerships. The LinkedIn profile linked from the identity section does not show partnership terms. For an automotive cybersecurity vendor planning thought-leadership content, Saket Mohan reads as an expert practitioner whose company collaborates with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and research partners—not as a creator selling defined sponsorship packages. Any engagement would need to be negotiated case by case. Ask them directly for the format, deliverables, price, disclosure policy, and inquiry route.

## Alternatives

- Ricardo Camacho: Choose Ricardo Camacho for a campaign about building and testing secure software-defined vehicles or embedded systems, rather than responding to a mobility-security incident. The testing framework gives technical audiences concrete practices to discuss, while Saket Mohan’s e-rickshaw post is the closer fit for a campaign about battery-system risk and product-lifecycle controls.
