Our guardian
Meet Vyom.
व्योम: the sky.
Vyom watches over the Ashtadeep family, drawn in the style of the Indian comics many of us grew up reading. Around him circle the tools our apps are made of.
He stands for the eight promises every Ashtadeep app keeps: yours stays yours, only true claims, and no dark patterns.
Our eight promisesWhat we work on
Everyday privacy and real connection, on every device you use.
Eight lamps. Eight promises.
Every app we make keeps all eight.
