Rakshak replaces the physical fence with an invisible one โ drawn and moved from your phone. Your animal is warned gently before crossing it, protected from theft, and never out of reach.
This is what replaces the physical fence: no wire, no posts, just a line drawn on your phone. As the animal nears that line, the collar responds in three gentle steps โ never a surprise, and always a chance to turn back before it's needed.
As the animal nears the fence line you've set, the collar gives a soft vibration โ a nudge, nothing more.
If it keeps walking, a sound plays, growing a little stronger the closer it gets โ clear and easy to learn.
Only if it crosses the line despite both warnings โ a short, gentle pulse. It stops the instant it turns back. Walking back inside the fence is always free.
For most owners, the real fear isn't a lost animal โ it's someone else's hands on her in the night.
Buffalo especially show very few visible signs. Missing the window costs an entire season of milk.
Most families keep a handful of animals. Devices priced for hundred-head ranches were never built for them.
An alert the moment a collar is tampered with, removed, or its location changes in a way that doesn't make sense.
A shared setup can cover a whole village โ owners use it for a small cost instead of buying one alone.
Movement patterns calibrated for each species โ not one generic model stretched to fit both.
Location and activity history that can help an insurance claim move faster if the worst happens.
Usually a handful of buffalo or cattle, close to home. Rakshak leads with protection against theft and early breeding alerts โ affordable, and built to work where signal is patchy.
For pasture-based dairies, Rakshak aims to fully replace the physical fence โ move boundaries from your phone, no wire, no posts.
Rakshak is currently in active development. We're building and testing the first working prototype โ nothing is for sale yet, and we won't claim otherwise. This page exists to explain the idea clearly and hear from the people it's meant to help.
Rakshak is founded and run by Vijay Dasari, working across India and the UK to build a collar that fits how buffalo and cattle are actually farmed in both places โ not a one-size-fits-all import.
Whether you farm buffalo or cattle, run a cooperative, or just want to follow along, reach out any of these ways.
