Cyber Shakti: cyber-safe business for women entrepreneurs.

As digital transactions and online businesses grow across Northeast India, so does the risk — phishing scams, fake buyer traps, and social media fraud. Cyber Shakti gives women entrepreneurs the skills and confidence to run their businesses safely online.

Why Cyber Shakti

The risk is real, and growing

Financial fraud, phishing, and social media scams are now the most common forms of cybercrime in India, and women entrepreneurs in Assam and the Northeast are especially exposed due to limited access to cybersecurity education.

Cyber Shakti closes this gap through hands-on workshops, real case studies, and practical toolkits that prevent threats before they happen.

  • Raise awareness of cyber threats among women entrepreneurs
  • Equip participants with tools for prevention and recovery
  • Promote safe digital payment practices and e-commerce trust
  • Reduce financial losses caused by cyber fraud
  • Build confidence to navigate online business safely
