Dehradun-born Founder from Army Family Launches “Karakbit: Safe AI for Kids” to Reinvent How Children Learn in an AI-Driven World

From Army schools and a Garhwal village legacy to India’s next-generation AI classroom, Arun Singh Panwar builds a safe, powerful AI companion for every child.

[Dehradun / Tehri Garhwal / Delhi, December 22, 2025] – Karakbit Pvt. Ltd., an EdTech startup founded by Arun Singh Panwar, today announced the launch of Karakbit: Safe AI for Kids, an AI-powered learning app that helps children read better, finish homework, ask questions freely, and explore creativity—within a safe, age-appropriate digital environment. Born in Dehradun to an ex-Army personnel family with roots in Bangdwara (Tehri Garhwal) and educated in Kendriya Vidyalaya and Army schools, Arun now channels discipline, service, and rural connection into building future-ready AI education for Indian children.

Arun spent years designing learning experiences and visual content before starting Karakbit after seeing how outdated traditional education felt in a fast-changing digital world. “Kids are still pushed to memorise, while the world they are entering is AI-driven,” he observed, noting that AI and digital skills are often introduced too late, creativity is sidelined, and children are rarely taught how to think, only what to think. Karakbit was built to close this gap and bring AI-powered learning tools into the hands of children much earlier.

“Karakbit is about preparing a generation that does not just learn but builds,” said Arun Singh Panwar, Founder & CEO, Karakbit. “Coming from an Army background and a Garhwal village, I wanted to make sure children—from villages, cantonment towns, and cities—get early, safe exposure to AI so they grow with confidence instead of confusion.”

Karakbit: Safe AI for Kids offers a set of features designed specifically for school-going children and their parents:

• Reading Assistance: Children can simply scan any textbook page and get clear explanations of concepts in their native language, including Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telugu.
• Homework Help: Kids and parents can scan any question or written answer to receive instant solutions, corrections, and guidance at home.
• Ask Me Anything: Children can ask doubts freely and receive well-explained, age-appropriate answers inside a safe learning environment instead of an open internet search.
• Drawing Magic: Kids’ simple drawings can be transformed into engaging 2D, 3D, Ghibli-style, or Minecraft-style artworks, helping them see their ideas come alive visually and creatively.
• Communication Skills: Guided AI support helps children express themselves more clearly, think broadly, and gain confidence in how they speak and write.
• AI Skills & Training (Coming Soon): Planned modules will equip children with foundational AI knowledge to support long-term growth and adaptability in an AI-first world.

“The world our kids are stepping into is shaped by AI, and digital literacy is becoming as important as reading,” Arun added. “If we wait until college, it is already too late. Karakbit is our step towards making India’s children ready for a developed India by 2047.”

Karakbit: Safe AI for Kids is designed for Android devices and is ideal for students who need structured, safe AI support for studies, creativity, and core skills. Schools, educators, and parents in Uttarakhand and across India are invited to collaborate on pilots, classroom integrations, and community programs.
