Every day, millions face dangers like crime, accidents, and medical emergencies. Yet, many lack a fast way to get help. Rishav Ghosh, the founder of Sicu-aura, saw this problem firsthand. His sister was harassed on the street. A young man died in an accident because no one helped in time. A sick neighbor nearly lost his life because he couldn’t call for help. These painful experiences made him realize that people need a better way to stay safe and get help instantly.
That’s why he created Sicu-aura, a personal safety app that does more than send SOS alerts. It prevents danger before it happens using AI-driven safety insights, real-time alerts, and a strong community support system. Unlike traditional safety apps, which only respond after an emergency, Sicu-aura helps users avoid risks and get immediate assistance when needed.
The Mission: Making the World Safer for Everyone
Rishav’s goal is simple: No one should feel helpless in an emergency. He wants to create a world where safety is not a privilege but a basic right for all. Sicu-aura’s mission is to prevent crime, provide quick help, and build a safer society.
The app is designed for students, parents, women, night workers, senior citizens, and anyone who wants to feel secure. It ensures that help is always within reach, even in low-network areas. With AI-based crime prevention, real-time safety tips, and a community-driven safety network, Sicu-aura is changing how people protect themselves and their loved ones.
What Makes Sicu-aura Different?
Most safety apps work only after an incident occurs. Sicu-aura is different. It predicts danger, prevents crime, and connects users with help instantly. Here’s what makes it unique:
- Crime Prevention Before It Happens – AI-powered safety insights warn users of potential threats nearby.
- Instant SOS Alerts – A single tap sends live location alerts to trusted contacts and emergency responders.
- Personalized Safety Features – The app offers special safety modes for students, women, elderly, and disabled users.
- Community-Driven Safety – Users can report unsafe locations, get real-time safety ratings, and receive crime prevention tips.
- Works Without Internet – Unlike most safety apps, Sicu-aura sends SOS alerts even in low-network areas via SMS.
From Rejection to Resilience: A Founder’s Journey
Building Sicu-aura was not easy. Rishav had no funding, no big team-just a powerful vision. Many people, including investors and even friends, told him it was impossible. He faced 142 investor rejections in just six months. But he refused to give up.
Instead of waiting for funding, he built the app himself, learning everything from coding to marketing. He worked sleepless nights, faced self-doubt, and never let failures stop him. After 428 days of hard work, he launched Sicu-aura. When the first users started downloading the app, he knew he had created something life-changing.
One of the first users was a mother whose daughter had faced harassment. The night she installed the app, her daughter felt unsafe. With one tap, she sent an SOS alert, and help arrived within minutes. The mother called Rishav the next day, crying-not out of fear, but out of gratitude. That moment proved that Sicu-aura was not just an app-it was a lifeline.
Future Growth: From India to the World
Rishav has big plans for Sicu-aura. His goal is to help millions of people feel safe, not just in India but across the world. Here’s how he plans to grow the company over the next five years:
- 2025 – Reach 100,000 downloads in India, secure funding, and launch a premium safety subscription.
- 2026 – Expand to 500,000 users, offer safety solutions for schools and workplaces, and partner with the government.
- 2027 – Launch in South Asia and the Middle East, develop wearable safety gadgets, and collaborate with law enforcement.

- 2029 – Reach 10 million users worldwide, prepare for IPO or large-scale investment, and integrate with smart city safety systems.
Turning Pain into Purpose
Sicu-aura was not built for profit-it was built for people. Every rejection, every sleepless night, and every struggle led to something bigger-a real solution to real problems.
For Rishav, this is more than a startup. It is a mission to make sure no on feels helpless in danger again. He believes that true success is not about money-it’s about impact. His journey proves that resilience, passion, and a strong purpose can turn any dream into reality.
Sicu-aura is more than an app-it’s a movement towards a safer world. And this is just the beginning.
