Why Digital Safety?
- UPI scams
- Phishing
- Deepfakes
- Identity theft
- Children online
Technology has transformed how India lives, learns, banks, and connects. But with every advancement comes new risk through UPI scams, phishing, deepfakes, identity theft, and threats to children online. Most victims aren't careless; they simply were never taught.
That is the gap I work to close. Drawing on three decades inside the technology industry, I make complex digital threats simple, practical, and understandable for the parent, the student, the senior citizen, and the small business owner.
Learn About My WorkAbout me
Naveen Verma
Three decades. One constant: technology in service of people.
I founded Bama Infotech in Ludhiana in 1996, growing it into one of Punjab's most trusted IT solutions companies and an authorised partner for Apple, Samsung, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco.
In 2016, my wife Dimple and I co-founded Whizrobo, a STEM & Robotics education company now reaching 10 lakh+ students across 150+ schools, endorsed by Niti Aayog, ISRO, and Intel.
Along the way, I saw technology being weaponised too through UPI fraud, online predators, phishing, deepfakes. I realised my real work wasn't selling or teaching tech, but making people safe with it.
Today, as a Digital Safety Educator and Cyber Awareness Coach, I write and speak on cybercrime prevention, AI safety, and digital parenting through my blog and social media, working toward a digitally confident India.
My Work
Educating India for the Digital Age
Every day, thousands of Indians fall victim to cyber fraud - not because they are careless, but because no one ever taught them the warning signs. My work exists to change that.
Digital Parenting & Child Online Safety
Helping parents and schools protect children from online predators, cyberbullying, gaming addiction, and inappropriate content while raising digitally confident kids.
AI Safety & Deepfake Awareness
Demystifying artificial intelligence for everyday citizens: how deepfakes work, how AI-driven scams operate, and how to verify what you see and hear online.
Data Privacy & Digital Rights
Educating citizens on their digital rights, data protection, and responsible technology use because digital safety is a constitutional right, not a privilege.
Cyber Awareness for Seniors & Small Businesses
Tailored guidance for two of India's most targeted groups: senior citizens and MSME owners.
Why Listen to Me?
Because I've spent 30 years inside the technology industry and not observing it from outside. I've partnered with Apple, Samsung, Dell, Canon, HP, Lenovo, Intel, Microsoft, and Cisco. I've taken STEM education to a million children. I understand technology deeply enough to explain it simply.

The Mission Behind the Mission
A Legacy of Curiosity, Courage, and Contribution
In 2024, I lost my son Aryaman — a World Robotics Champion, ISRO YUVIKA Young Scientist, and India Book of Records holder — at just 20 years of age. The Aryaman Foundation carries his legacy forward, supporting young cancer patients, emerging innovators, and girls in STEM.
His curiosity taught me that technology is a force for good — when it is guided by safety, ethics, and heart.
The Aryaman Foundation is a registered NGO (Govt. of India, PB/2024/0442848) founded in memory of my son, Aryaman Verma (2005–2024).
An extraordinary young innovator
- India Book of Records - youngest line-follower robot builder (age 9) and youngest drone developer (age 13)
- ISRO YUVIKA Young Scientist (2019)
- World Robotics Champion - with victories in Shanghai, Beijing, Moscow, and Dubai
He passed away in July 2024 at the age of 20, after a courageous battle with cancer. The Foundation continues what he stood for.
“19 - A Life That Never Stopped” - Aryaman's story has been chronicled in a memorial biography.
