AI your school can stand behind.

The Deshika trust layer: AI literacy, a signed school policy, and an authorised tutor stacked under one checked-off shield.

The order matters: trust → policy → product.

Most ed-tech vendors lead with the product and never earn the trust. Deshika earns the trust first; the product follows.

01

Trust first

We teach the whole school how AI works — students, teachers, staff, administrators — before any AI goes near a student. One shared vocabulary across the building.

6-month literacy program
02

Authorisation second

We co-write your AI policy — tool-agnostic, signed by your leadership, yours to keep. The Deshika name doesn't appear in your school's policy.

7-template starter library
03

Product third

The one AI tutor your policy authorises — vernacular-native, DPDP-compliant by architecture, safety-classified for Bengali, Hindi, Assamese and more.

Classes 8-10, India-hosted
The order Deshika follows: trust first, then policy, then the product.

The decision your school can't postpone past this academic year.

AI didn't ask the school's permission to enter the classroom. CBSE has made AI a compulsory, board-examined subject from Class 3 starting AY 2026-27. India's DPDP Act becomes enforceable on 13 May 2027 — and the school is the legally-responsible Data Fiduciary for every child's data. This is not a coming change. It's a change that already happened.
