Why Samskar exists

It began with a moment no child should face.

Founder Yakara Ganesh saw a child being put at risk in his village, and realised many children simply don't have the words, or the awareness, to recognise unsafe touch or tell a trusted adult.

Samskar's dolls give children those words, gently, in their own language, without ever demonstrating harm. As the founder puts it, “it's people's mindset that needs to change first.”

Our mission

To empower children with the knowledge and confidence to understand and assert their personal boundaries, so every child feels safe, valued, and protected.

Empowerment

Children learn to make informed decisions and assert their boundaries.

Education

Engaging tools that make good touch and bad touch easy to understand.

Accessibility

For every child, across languages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Advocacy

Raising awareness and driving positive change for child safety.

The Samskar range

Three dolls. One idea, growing smarter.

A one-way safety warning, then guided lessons with slokas and values, and now a doll a child can hold a conversation with.

How Minni stays safe

An AI a parent can trust.

Minni is powered by a language model, but it is walled. It only ever talks with a child about the things a child should hear.

Child-safe topics only

Minni stays inside stories, lessons, morals, and good habits. Off-topic or grown-up subjects are refused, gently.

Strict 18+ restriction

Firm guardrails block adult content and unsafe requests, so conversations never drift where they shouldn't.

Made for parents to trust

You can rely on what Minni will and won't say. The boundaries are built in, not left to chance.

For schools, NGOs & government

Run a safety programme, at any scale.

We support schools and organisations with bulk supply, multilingual editions, and awareness workshops, the same programme that has already reached 60,000+ children.
