Shouvik Mukherjee — Founder
500+ security scans delivered. 63M+ Indian SMBs unprotected. One mission: fix that. From ₹4,000/month call center to ₹90 LPA Principal Engineer at Intuit & IDFC First Bank — no degree, no connections, just grit. Then I walked away to build Bachao.AI. — THE ORIGINAL VISION — Bachao.AI started as B2C: protect 100Cr Indians from the ₹20,000 Cr+ scam crisis. On-device AI detecting live scam calls, phishing, and deepfake fraud. No cloud. No ads. Private, real-time protection for every Indian family. We built it. Spoke at TEDxBangalore. But the market wasn't ready. On-device AI scam detection is genuine deeptech — ahead of its time. B2C at scale needs telecom partnerships and regulatory infrastructure that takes years. The government is now solving parts of this (TRAI’s verified caller ID validates our thesis). But a startup can’t wait. — THE PIVOT — Hardest decision a mission-driven founder makes: survive first, serve the mission long-term. We pivoted to B2B. Today, Bachao.AI is India’s most accessible AI-native cybersecurity platform for SMBs: 🔍 Automated VAPT — results in 45 minutes, not 4 weeks 📋 DPDP Act 2023 Compliance — auto-mapped, enforcement May 2027 🎣 Hindi Phishing Simulation — training in the language scammers use 💰 Free first scan. ₹2,000 full report. Not ₹16,000/month. 87% of Indian MSMEs have zero cybersecurity policy. Average breach cost: ₹22 Crore. We’re the bridge between free raw tools and unaffordable enterprise contracts. — THE LONG GAME — This is a 5–10 year road. The B2B platform funds the mission. When consumer is ready — technically, regulatorily — we’ll already have solved it at scale. Deeptech doesn’t fit a 3-year VC timeline. Real problems deserve real timelines. We’re building the future — one honest byte at a time. → SMB founder worried about DPDP? Start free: bachao.ai → Building in cybersecurity or deeptech for India? Let’s talk.
