What is eRaksha?

eRaksha is an AI-powered child safety app from India, built by SlateMate at IIT Madras Research Park. It blocks harmful websites through DNS filtering, explains every block to children through a caring AI companion, and gives parents a simple dashboard instead of invasive message logs. eRaksha is free forever, with a Premium plan at ₹349/month per child, and officially launches on 14th November 2026.
