The cybersecurity leader.
The retail expert.
One bedtime mission.
Cyber Ved is online safety for the under-10s — built by parents, told as bedtime stories, so kids grow up street-smart in a digital world.
Neha Agarwal
As the head of the Global Cybersecurity Services team at Vodafone, Neha spends her days building digital shields to protect businesses across the globe. Her mission in the corporate world is democratising cybersecurity for small businesses — making them safe online.
Now, she wants to extend this safety to the little people, the digital natives.
Through Cyber Ved, she brings her front-line security expertise to the next generation. She's translating high-tech defence into instinct rather than just education — how to spot suspicious behaviour online, and what to do when it happens. Neha is also an advisor on the expert panel at Internet Matters.
Amit Chitnis
Amit brings world-class strategic leadership to the world of children's education.
As the former Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at Ocado Retail and a former Director at Tesco, Amit has spent his career driving strategy for some of the UK's biggest brands. A believer in the power of narrative to make complex ideas "stick", he crafts the adventures of Ved to ensure that every lesson is as engaging as it is critical.
Amit fuses his background in management consulting and retail leadership with the joyful chaos of fatherhood to make digital safety a fun adventure.
You teach your kids not to talk to strangers. But who is teaching them about the strangers who can talk to them through a screen?
As parents to a 4-year-old, that question hit home one night as Neha and Amit watched their son explore his first tablet. They were handing their son the keys to a vast digital universe without a map, a compass, or a seatbelt.
They looked for a tool to help them start these crucial conversations with their son, but found nothing. They realised if they wanted it done right, they had to do it themselves. So they didn't just write a book. They started a mission.
Fusing Neha's front-line cyber expertise with Amit's creative fire, they forged Cyber Ved (meaning "Cyber Wisdom"). Providing curious young minds with the skills, vocabulary and confidence to navigate the digital world safely.
This isn't just a book series; it's the conversation-starter every modern parent needs.
A generation of children who feel confident online — with instincts and habits that protect them for life.
- 1
Online safety becomes a normal part of childhood learning — when their instincts are being developed.
- 2
Children learn to pause, think, and ask for help.
- 3
Families and schools share a simple, consistent playbook.
Four pillars. One mission.
Story-driven learning
Children remember stories far better than rules. Our adventures embed safety lessons naturally into narratives kids connect with.

Stories are remembered.
Rules are forgotten.
We teach the skill through the adventure.
Physical world wisdom, translated
- Physical world rules like Stranger Danger and Look Both Ways before you cross the street as the basis.
- The villains draw on timeless human nature — greed, manipulation, illusion.
Built for teachers
- Every story comes with four activities, a parent guide, and a tip card.
- Teachers can pick it up and teach it — no technical background required.
Built for parents too
- Most parents don't know how to start conversations about online safety.
- Every story includes a 2-minute parent script for the conversation afterwards.
Kids as the heroes
- Every story ends with the children making the smart choice — not being rescued by an adult.
- Confidence and teamwork are core to the goal.
- Children who feel capable are more likely to speak up when something goes wrong online.
