Trustedwear Tech Private Limited

An Indian deep-tech product startup. We started with the Trustedwear Watch — a 7-camera safety smartwatch for kids and teens, designed, engineered, and built fully in-house — and building it led to our second product: Citra AI, our governed agentic AI platform for private enterprise, delivered as SaaS, private cloud, or BYOC.

Incorporated 23 November 2022 · Incubated at IIT Patna · Headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka.

Our story

We started with a watch. We ended up governing AI.

Hardware development runs in years, not sprints. What we built in the gaps between board revisions became a product of its own — and the discipline hardware demands became the governance our AI is known for.

  1. 2023

    A promise to protect

    Trustedwear Tech starts its journey with one product in mind: a security smartwatch that keeps kids and teens safe — 7 cameras, live SOS, privacy owned by the wearer. IIT Patna incubates us, funded by Startup India, Bihar Startup, and MeitY.

  2. 2023–24

    Hardware teaches patience

    PCB spins, camera arrays, a custom OS — hardware progress is measured in years, not sprints. Between board revisions, a team with 20+ years of enterprise-software DNA had engineering time on its hands. We used it.

  3. 2024

    The discovery

    Building the AI services behind the watch, we hit the wall every enterprise hits: there was no proper way to govern AI. No ontology of the business for it to reason over, no control over what a model may and may not do, no audit trail when it acts. The missing layer became our second product — Citra AI.

  4. 2025

    Citra AI goes live

    A governed agentic platform for private enterprise: describe an app or API in plain English, Citra builds it, grounds it in your ontology, and gates every action behind a policy a human controls. Live today — SaaS, private cloud, or BYOC.

  5. Dec 2026

    The watch returns

    The prototype that started it all is completed — the same discipline that made hardware safe now governs our AI. The Trustedwear Watch for kids and teens heads toward its 2027 launch.

What we build

Two flagship products, both ours end-to-end — software that governs enterprise AI, hardware that guards the people you love.
