PUKAAR – Your Safety, Our Priority
PUKAAR is a personal safety app designed to help you stay connected with trusted people and access emergency assistance when you need it. Whether travelling, commuting, studying away from home or returning home late, PUKAAR helps you prepare for unexpected situations.
PUKAAR complements existing emergency services. It does not replace them.
1. SOS – Emergency Alert
When you activate SOS, PUKAAR helps alert your trusted contacts during an emergency.
Depending on permissions, device capabilities and network availability, the SOS alert can include:
- Your location through a Google Maps link.
- Your phone's battery level and network status.
- Alerts to your trusted contacts.
- Emergency contact information.
- Details and available contact numbers for the nearest police station, ambulance service and hospital.
- Access to India's emergency helpline, 112.
Emergency Audio Recording
When you activate SOS, PUKAAR requests microphone permission if required. Once permission is granted and recording starts, the app records surrounding audio to help capture sounds and conversations during the emergency.
Your trusted contacts can receive a link to listen to the available recording and better understand the situation. The recording may serve as supporting material or potential evidence for future reference, if required. Legal admissibility is not guaranteed.
Recording automatically stops when you tap "I Am Safe" or after three hours, whichever comes first. Recording, uploading and access depend on permissions, device capabilities and network connectivity.
2. Private Check-In – Safety with Privacy
Going out at night, attending night events, working late or travelling alone? Private Check-In helps you stay safe while protecting your privacy.
Set your expected check-in time without routinely sharing your live location with trusted contacts. At the scheduled time, confirm that you are safe or extend your check-in time as needed.
If you do not respond, PUKAAR allows a 30-minute grace period before alerting your trusted contacts.
If an emergency occurs during your check-in period, tap "I Need Help" to activate emergency assistance, working like SOS to alert your trusted contacts.
3. Share My Journey – Stay Connected on the Move
Share your live location with selected trusted contacts while travelling.
This feature helps your trusted contacts follow your journey and know where you are. Set an expected check-in time, and if you do not respond, PUKAAR can alert your trusted contacts that your check-in is overdue.
You can also access the available help and SOS options if you need assistance during your journey.
Live location sharing and alerts depend on the necessary permissions, device settings and network connectivity.
4. Actionable Emergency Card – Help When You Cannot Speak
PUKAAR's QR-based Emergency Card is designed to help others assist you when you cannot communicate during an emergency.
Place the QR sticker on your wallet, phone, bag, helmet or vehicle. If someone finds you in an emergency, they can scan the QR code to access your emergency information and trigger the configured emergency alert to your trusted contacts. This alert activates the same emergency assistance flow as SOS, including available location details and emergency service information.
Voice Note from the Bystander
The person scanning your card can record a voice note describing the situation, what has happened and what assistance may be needed. This helps your trusted contacts understand the actual situation when you cannot speak for yourself. The voice note is shared with them subject to the feature's permissions and connectivity.
PUKAAR is a personal safety and emergency communication tool. It does not guarantee immediate assistance and does not replace police, ambulance, hospital or other emergency services.
