Problem it Solves:

Students today live most of their lives online attending classes, applying for internships, paying fees, shopping, and socializing. Unfortunately, many fall victim to scams, phishing links, unsafe apps, weak passwords, and account hacking. Once hacked, students often lose not just money but also personal data, which can affect their academics, careers, and even mental health.

Current Market Gap:

While antivirus software and password managers exist, most are either too complex or too expensive for students. Free solutions don’t provide real-time scam detection or personalized guidance. What’s missing is an affordable, student-friendly cybersecurity companion that proactively protects students and teaches them safe online habits.

My Solution:

A mobile app called CyberSakhi, designed as a personal digital guardian. It uses AI to detect phishing links, fake internship/job portals, and unsafe apps in real time. If a student is about to click on something suspicious, CyberSakhi immediately alerts them. It also includes features like password vaults, dark web monitoring for leaked data, and short daily tips on safe online behavior. The app is simple, runs quietly in the background, and only steps in when there’s a risk.

Who Benefits:

• Students → stay safe online, avoid scams, protect accounts and money.

• Parents → peace of mind knowing their children’s digital lives are secure.

• Universities → fewer cyber complaints and safer student networks.

• Society → builds a culture of cybersecurity awareness from a young age.

Business Model:

CyberSakhi is offered as a freemium app: core safety features (phishing alerts, scam detection) are free, while premium features (dark web monitoring, family accounts, advanced protection) are available at a low-cost subscription.

Why This Matters to Me:

As students, we are constantly online but rarely trained in how to protect ourselves. CyberSakhi is not just a tool but a confidence booster, letting students focus on learning and growing without fear of scams or hacks. I want to solve this because digital safety is no longer optional, it’s a basic need in today’s world.
