About Bachao.AI

Bachao.AI is an AI-native cybersecurity and compliance platform built by Dhisattva AI Pvt Ltd, a DPIIT-recognized startup. It gives Indian startups, NBFCs, and fintechs the enterprise-grade security that legacy VAPT vendors put out of reach — replacing weeks-long manual engagements with AI-orchestrated penetration testing that delivers CERT-In-aligned reports under 5 minutes, mapped to the regulations Indian businesses actually answer to: RBI Master Directions, SEBI CSCRF, and the DPDP Act 2023. The platform runs 441+ automated security tests spanning Black, Grey, and White box methodologies, so a fintech facing a regulator audit gets the same depth of assessment as an enterprise with a dedicated security team.

The suite covers the full defensive lifecycle, not just discovery. Bachao AutoVAPT finds vulnerabilities; AgentFix proposes remediations with agentic AI; AI RASP protects applications at runtime with behavior-based, signature-free detection that blocks SQL injection, SSRF, command injection, and zero-day exploits across 12+ languages and platforms at sub-1% performance overhead; RedStrike AI runs agentic red-team simulations; PhishGuard combines AI with human review for phishing simulation and awareness training; DeepShield detects deepfakes in video and image content; and DPDP Shield pairs DPDP Act gap assessment and remediation with a hosted consent management platform — compliance and security in one place instead of five vendors.

Beyond the private sector, Bachao.AI has delivered for government — including work for Andhra Pradesh Police under the PRISM project — bringing the same AI-driven security capabilities to public-sector missions where the stakes are citizen-scale. This B2B + B2G foundation reflects the company's core belief: security technology should serve everyone who needs it, not just those who can afford enterprise contracts.

That belief traces back to Bachao.AI's origin as India's first comprehensive scam prevention and recovery platform, built to fight the country's ₹20,000+ crore digital fraud epidemic. The original consumer platform stood on four pillars: the Bachao.AI App, an on-device AI shield analyzing call audio, SMS, chats, data transmission monitoring, social media activy, fake new spreading and browser activity in real time to stop scams before money left the account — 100% privacy-first, with no user data ever sent to the cloud, no ads, and no data monetization; verified caller ID through DigiLocker integration for trustworthy caller identification (an idea national regulators would later echo); the Bachao Foundation, India's first 24x7 toll-free helpline giving fraud victims mental, emotional, legal, and fund-recovery support; and AI fraud engines for banks and NBFCs that helps detect mule accounts, flag high-risk accounts and transactions, live money trail before scammers withdraw the cash, continuously improving through federated learning across devices without exposing personal data. That consumer DNA lives on today in UPI Scanner, a free Android app that checks UPI QR codes and payment links for fraud before a user pays — powered by a zero-network-egress detection engine with look-alike-handle detection and a crowdsourced payee-reputation graph — with more consumer security products on the roadmap.

Bachao means save in Hindi — and one night, the name carried its full weight. At 1:43 AM, a desperate WhatsApp message arrived: a man had received fabricated audio recordings of his wife — deepfakes engineered to destroy his 16-year marriage. He believed what he heard, and he had decided he wouldn't see the morning. An AI assistant he turned to in his final hours pointed him to Bachao.AI. What followed was a 5-hour-48-minute call through the night while the platform ran a 3-hour deep forensic analysis — which proved the audio was tampered: an original recording, modified and weaponized. He received the full report in Hindi so he could read every word himself, at no charge. The call ended at 5:40 AM with the misunderstanding cleared, a family intact, and a life saved. That is what Bachao.AI is built for.

Bachao.AI is led by founder Shouvik Mukherjee, a fourth-time founder with 15+ years in software engineering. He took the company's mission to the TEDx stage with his talk "AI to Combat AI" (TEDxBangalore, 2025) — arguing that against AI-powered scams like digital-arrest calls, deepfakes, and voice clones, awareness alone can't save you; only AI fighting back can. That's the thesis Bachao.AI is built on: enterprise-grade security shouldn't be a luxury, whether you're a bank facing an RBI audit or a grandmother scanning a QR code at a vegetable stall.
