To protect every Indian who participates in the digital ecosystem by building shared cyber safety infrastructure between regulators, platforms, and citizens.
A digital India where no citizen loses money to cyber fraud. Where regulators and platforms share intelligence in real time. Where the infrastructure to protect 1.4 billion Indians exists and works.
India’s Cyber Fraud Crisis — By the Numbers
This is not just a crypto problem. It’s a problem for every Indian with a digital footprint.
In 2025, Indians filed 28.15 lakh cybercrime complaints. Of those, fewer than 2% became FIRs. Nearly half of all Indian adults have experienced or know a victim of AI voice-cloning or deepfake scams.
Meanwhile, UPI processed 21.7 billion transactions in January 2026 alone. Every transaction represents trust. Every fraud erodes it.
“Fraud doesn’t check which app you use, which bank you trust, or which platform you invest on. The defence must be equally universal.”
