SafeSaarathi · Privacy-First School Transport
Every child safe. Every journey private.
Keeping children safe on the road — and keeping their personal information safe everywhere else. Because protecting a child includes protecting their identity.
Every weekday morning, every parent asks
When will the vehicle arrive?
Has my child boarded?
Has my child reached school?
Has my child reached home?
SafeSaarathi answers all four — with verified events, not anxious phone calls.

The problem no one talks about
Every day, thousands of children’s names, addresses, routes and live locations travel through WhatsApp groups and personal phones.
Once shared, schools lose control of that information — forever.
What happens if a driver’s phone is lost?
Every child’s name, number, photo and route in those WhatsApp chats is now exposed — and out of your control.
What happens when a driver leaves?
The chats, contacts and pickup lists stay on their personal phone. Nobody can delete them.
What if a screenshot reaches the wrong person?
A single forwarded message with a child’s location and home address is a board-level risk.

Why now
A privacy-first transport platform is finally both necessary and possible.
DPDP Act 2023
Children’s-data compliance is now law — WhatsApp-only operations are a real risk for school transport.
Affordable messaging
Verified WhatsApp alerts now cost sub-₹0.20 — every parent can be kept informed for a few rupees a month.
UPI everywhere
A small van operator can collect monthly fees from parents in-app, without a merchant account.
₹7K Android floor
Drivers across tier-2/3 cities now have phones that can run a real, secure tracking app.
Built on three pillars
Child Safety — on the road and online
Protecting children isn’t only about the journey. It’s about making sure their identity, location and details never leak into the digital world.
Privacy by design
Children’s data should never travel through WhatsApp chats. On SafeSaarathi it stays inside a secure, role-based platform — shared only with the people responsible for today’s trip.
Trust you can demonstrate
Parents ask one question: “Who can see my child’s information?” Our answer — only authorised people, only what they need, all of it logged.
Beyond GPS. Built for trust.
The features, and what they really mean
Live tracking
Parents know where the vehicle is — without exposing their child’s location publicly.
Boarding & drop alerts
Only authorised parents receive their own child’s boarding and drop notifications.
Driver app
Drivers only see the children they’re transporting today — nothing more.
School dashboard
Schools stay in control of student information — even when drivers change.
