    Milestone Systems taps Diya Girish as sales director to drive India market push with AI-powered security stack

    MUMBAI: Milestone Systems has doubled down on India’s digital growth story, appointing technology veteran Diya Girish as its new sales director to lead go-to-market strategies in one of the world’s fastest-growing security and surveillance markets.

    Announced on 7 May 2025, the move signals Milestone’s renewed focus on sectors like smart cities, infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing, where real-time video management, analytics and cloud-based solutions are increasingly vital. Girish, who brings over 20 years of experience from Oracle, EY, and IBM, is tasked with scaling adoption of Milestone’s expansive portfolio including XProtect VMS, Arcules (VSaaS), BriefCam video analytics, and the new AI-powered Project Hafnia.

    India’s appetite for smarter, scalable security solutions is soaring. The market is growing rapidly, driven by increased urbanisation and demand for intelligent, integrated video tools capable of managing large-scale data streams. Milestone has responded by reshuffling its sales leadership structure to better capture this momentum, with Girish’s appointment at the core of this strategic push.

    “Milestone Systems is evolving with the current needs of the security market. Apart from XProtect, their cloud offering VSaaS-Arcules, Video Analytics software-BriefCam and now the new AI Data platform, Project Hafnia, forms an integral part of the solution stack – a game changer in AI model training for computer vision developers,” said Girish. “My focus will be on collaborating with our partners and delivering unmatched and innovative new security solution use cases for expanding enterprises like manufacturing GCC and infrastructure projects among others.”

    She added that India’s complexity as a market makes it “interesting and challenging,” and noted the opportunity for enterprise customers to unlock the full potential of Milestone’s diverse product lineup.

    Prior to this role, Girish served as sales director & country head for Oracle’s Application Unlimited line of business, where she led strategic sales and delivered substantial growth across regions.

    Her appointment, Milestone stated, is aimed at deepening its presence in the APAC market, advancing cloud and AI-powered security deployments, and driving long-term partner-led expansion in India.
