Sagar Pavan Singh on Building Technology That Protects, Empowers, and Serves

At just 22 years old, Sagar Pavan Singh is building a reputation in cybersecurity, assistive technology, and public safety. Born in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, he moved to Pune with his family at a young age and has spent the last 18 years there. Raised by his father, Pavan Singh, an RPF Police Officer, and his mother, Ruby Singh, Sagar grew up in an environment shaped by discipline, service, and responsibility. Alongside his younger brother, Samar Singh, he developed a strong desire to create technology that improves people's lives.

After completing his schooling at St. Theresa's High School and Angel High School, Sagar pursued a BCA in Cyber Security from Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth. He is currently pursuing his MCA in Cyber Security at MIT ADT University, where he continues to strengthen his technical knowledge and practical skills.

His entrepreneurial journey began with a simple question: how can technology solve real problems faced by ordinary people? This led him to create the "Third Eye for Blind People," a patented wearable device that uses sensor technology to help visually impaired individuals move safely and independently. What started as a concept eventually reached more than 500 blind students across India.

Sagar also turned his attention to women's safety. Through Project Rama, he has worked with law enforcement professionals on the development of an advanced electronic taser designed for self-defence. His work is driven by a belief that technology should serve a larger social purpose. As he says, "Tech is meaningless unless it empowers a life."

One of the biggest challenges in his journey came after developing working prototypes. Taking products from the drawing board to manufacturing and distribution proved far more difficult than expected. The experience taught him that success depends not only on invention but also on execution, intellectual property protection, and delivery.

His efforts have earned recognition through victories at the 2025 Technothon and Ideathon competitions, followed by the 2026 Hackathon Ideathon. He also received praise from members of the Poona Blind Men's Association and senior police officials.

Today, Sagar aims to build a technology company focused on cybersecurity, safety, and assistive devices.
