About
Protect the businesses building India
Bachao.AI exists because 74% of Indian SMBs face cyberattacks, but enterprise security is priced out of SMB reach. We believe every business deserves protection they can actually afford — pay-per-use, not a fixed annual bill.
Bachao.AI is a SaaS platform. Your auditor and legal partner sign off the certification — we make their work easier.
Shouvik Mukherjee
Founder
From ₹4K/month call centres to 90 LPA at Peak XV-backed companies — then walked away from it all to build Bachao.AI. Not because it was safe, but because someone had to make cybersecurity accessible to the businesses that actually need it.
Self-taught engineer. No CS degree. Built Cantrip Solutions from ₹20K to ₹2Cr revenue with 46 engineers. Survived ₹40L debt after shutting it down to care for family. Rebuilt through Wipro, Intuit, IDFC First Bank, and K12 Techno.
Every role taught something: compliance systems at Intuit, banking-grade security at IDFC, scale at K12 Techno. Bachao.AI is the synthesis — enterprise-grade security at SMB-friendly prices, built by someone who understands what it means to run a business with no safety net.
