Partnership offers tech-enabled protection, scam awareness workshops, and exclusive discounts to safeguard India’s elderly population
Bangalore, August 5, 2025: Truecaller, the leading global communications and caller ID platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Khyaal, India’s largest digital platform dedicated to senior citizens. This collaboration marks a significant step toward enhancing digital safety for the elderly, a group increasingly vulnerable to financial fraud and digital scams.
As more seniors adopt smartphones and digital platforms, they often find themselves targets of sophisticated scam tactics. Recognising this, Truecaller and Khyaal have come together to offer a comprehensive protection plan—blending advanced technology, community outreach, and educational programming to build digital resilience among seniors.
All Khyaal members will now receive an exclusive 50% discount on Truecaller Premium, unlocking advanced spam detection and fraud prevention tools tailored for high-risk users. To support this, the two brands will co-create interactive safety modules, including:
“New Scam Highlights” to decode evolving fraud methods
“Spot the Scam” contests and hands-on workshops
Guidelines on handling unknown callers
Real-life success stories from Khyaal seniors who averted scams using Truecaller
These initiatives will be accessible both digitally via the Khyaal app and offline through events like ‘50Above50’, where seniors can participate in interactive safety demonstrations and consult at dedicated fraud-prevention booths.
> “The digital age holds incredible promise for seniors—bringing them connection and convenience. But it also exposes them to risks they are often unprepared for,” said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Global CEO, Truecaller. “This partnership with Khyaal is about more than protection—it’s about empowering seniors to navigate digital communication with confidence.”
> Echoing this sentiment, Hemanshu Jain, Founder & CEO, Khyaal, added, “Seniors are increasingly falling prey to scammers exploiting their trust. Beyond the financial loss, it leads to anxiety and a fear of technology. With Truecaller, we’re giving them both the tools and knowledge to protect themselves—helping them maintain independence and peace of mind.”
While the basic version of Truecaller offers essential caller ID features, Truecaller Premium enhances protection with real-time spam alerts, expanded blocking capabilities, and priority support—critical benefits for a demographic most at risk.
Together, Truecaller and Khyaal aim to set a new benchmark for digital safety in India, ensuring that elderly citizens are not only protected but also empowered in their digital journeys.
