In moments of danger, the ability to call for help can be hindered by fear, shock, or physical restraint. Victims of violence, elderly individuals experiencing medical emergencies, and people with disabilities often cannot access their phones to call for help when they need it most.
Nirbhay (meaning "Fearless" in Hindi) addresses this critical gap by automatically detecting signs of distress, ensuring that help is dispatched even when the victim cannot act.
