The Meaning Behind Rakshan
रक्षण
Rakshan
[rak-shan] - Protection, Safeguarding
Ancient Origins, Modern Protection
"Rakshan" (रक्षण) is derived from Sanskrit, one of the world's oldest languages, where it means "protection," "defense," or "safeguarding." For thousands of years, this powerful word has embodied the concept of providing security and shelter from harm.
We chose this name because it perfectly encapsulates our mission: to protect and safeguard organizations' AI systems from compliance risks, security vulnerabilities, and ethical concerns. Just as the ancient concept of Rakshan represented a comprehensive shield against various threats, our platform provides holistic protection across the entire AI governance landscape.
The name also reflects our philosophy that true protection comes from deep understanding and wisdom—not just technological solutions. By combining advanced technology with timeless principles of security and governance, Rakshan empowers organizations to deploy AI with confidence in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

How We Started
Rakshan was founded by a team of AI security experts, compliance professionals, and enterprise software veterans who saw a critical gap in the market.
Founded 2025
As AI adoption accelerated across industries, our founders noticed that organizations were struggling to keep up with the rapidly evolving landscape of AI regulations and security challenges. Many were using manual processes and disconnected tools to manage their AI governance, leading to inefficiencies, compliance gaps, and security vulnerabilities.
In 2022, we set out to build a comprehensive AI Governance Posture Management platform that would automate and streamline the entire process—from asset discovery to compliance mapping to runtime security. Our goal was to create a solution that would make AI governance accessible to organizations of all sizes, not just those with dedicated AI governance teams and large budgets.
Today, Rakshan is trusted by organizations across financial services, healthcare, government, and other regulated industries to manage their AI governance posture. We continue to innovate and expand our platform to address emerging AI governance challenges and regulatory requirements.
