AI that protects people and wildlife.

SafeOrbyt AI is building a low-cost early warning system that detects elephants and leopards and alerts farmers and forest rangers in seconds — before conflict turns deadly.

The Problem

A growing crisis at the forest edge.

~500

people killed by elephants in India every year.

36%

rise in elephant-related human deaths between 2020-21 and 2023-24.

9,000+

elephant crop damage cases recorded every year in Jharkhand alone.

Families lose lives, farmers lose harvests, and elephants are killed in retaliation.

How It Works

From detection to action in seconds.

  1. 1

    Detect

    AI cameras watch forest edges and farmland, day and night.

  2. 2

    Identify

    Computer vision recognizes elephants, leopards, and other wildlife.

  3. 3

    Alert

    Instant alerts reach farmers, villagers, and forest rangers.

  4. 4

    Act

    People move to safety and protect crops before damage happens.

Where it protects

One system. Many frontlines.

Built first for elephants, designed to expand to other wildlife and high-risk zones.

  • In testing

    Farms & Villages

    Detects elephants near crops and homes, alerting farmers before raids.

  • Planned

    Forest Edges & Small Towns

    Early warnings when leopards and tigers move toward human settlements.

  • Planned

    Highways

    Alerts drivers and authorities when large animals approach roads, preventing collisions.

  • Planned

    Railway Tracks

    Warns train operators when elephants are near tracks in known crossing zones.

Research Stage

AI for Dementia Care

AI-powered wandering detection, location alerts, and emergency notifications that help families and care homes keep people with dementia safe.

Our Approach

Accurate enough to trust. Affordable enough to scale.

High accuracy, low false alarms

So communities trust every alert.

Low cost

Built to cover many kilometers of forest edge on public and CSR budgets.

Fast alerts

Seconds, not minutes.

Business Model

Who we work with.

Sustainable impact needs a sustainable business.

Government

State forest and agriculture departments and national programs funding conflict mitigation.

Model: Funded deployments and projects.

CSR & Funders

Corporate CSR programs and conservation foundations supporting farmers and wildlife.

Model: Sponsored deployments in high-conflict districts.

NGOs & Research

Conservation NGOs and universities.

Model: Pilot partnerships, field access, and joint research.
