Why India Needs a Dedicated Safety Wearable

The smartphone isn't a safety device

We carry our phones everywhere, but they fail us in emergencies. Battery dies, screen cracks, network drops, or worse: the phone is stolen. In a real crisis, fumbling to unlock a phone, open an app, and dial a number costs precious seconds.

The numbers paint a grim picture

India records over 400,000 missing persons annually. One in three senior citizens has experienced a fall. Women face safety concerns on public transport daily. Children go missing at festivals and crowded places. These aren't statistics: they're families torn apart.

What a safety wearable should be

A dedicated safety device should be always-on, always-connected, and stupidly simple. One button. No screen to navigate. No app to open. No phone required. It should work for a 6-year-old and an 80-year-old equally well.

Why existing solutions fall short

Smartwatches require daily charging and phone pairing. Personal alarms make noise but don't share your location. Phone apps require the phone to be functional and charged. None of these work reliably when you need them most.

The Kavach approach

Kavach is built for one purpose: keeping people safe. A 28-gram wristband with built-in GPS, 4G connectivity, 72-hour battery, fall detection, and one-touch SOS. It works without a phone. SOS is never behind a paywall. Starting at ₹14/day because safety is not a luxury.

Starting with Kumbh, scaling to India

We're launching at Nashik Kumbh Mela 2026, the world's largest gathering, with a rental model from ₹249/day. After proving the technology in the most demanding environment possible, we scale to everyday use: women's safety, elderly care, children's protection, and enterprise workforce safety.

Reserve your Kavach Band

Real-time GPS, one-touch SOS, fall detection, 72-hour battery. Starting ₹4,999 — no payment required to reserve.
