Your studio's data —
only your eyes.
The business OS for India's photographers and content creators. Shoots, clients, payments, gear — all encrypted on your device. Even we can't read your data. By design.
₹99/month. Cancel anytime. We approve new studios in 48 hours.
THE WHY
India's photographers and content creators deserve tools they can trust.
Most studios run on WhatsApp + Notes + Excel.
We talked to 30+ Indian photographers and saw the same pattern every time. Client names in a WhatsApp group. Payments in a notebook. Expenses on a phone photo of a paper bill. Gear warranties on email screenshots.
When data is everywhere, two things happen: information gets lost, and the photographer never really knows their numbers. How much did this wedding actually make? Who still owes you? What did you spend on gear this year?
“Most software for photographers was built by people who've never run a studio. We built Aksho with photographers, for photographers — and made it private enough that even we can't read your data.”

Per shoot · Per client
Your data, only your eyes
Encrypted on your device with a key only you hold. Even our team cannot read your client list or your revenue.
Zero-knowledge
HOW IT WORKS
From signup to first shoot in 5 minutes.
Request access
Tell us about your studio. We approve new studios within 48 hours — no spam, no aggressive sales calls.
Pick a password & a 6-digit PIN
Your password unlocks every login. Your PIN is the backup if you ever forget. Together they're the only way in — even for us.
Run your studio
Add shoots, log expenses, send invoices, track your gear. Phone, tablet, web — all in sync, all encrypted, all yours.
WHY AKSHO IS DIFFERENT
We genuinely can't see your data.
Every other photography SaaS reads your client list. Your revenue. Your shoots. Aksho doesn't — your data is encrypted on your device before it ever touches our servers.
01
Encrypted on your device
Your password derives the encryption key locally — never sent to us. Your shoot names, client phones, expense amounts: all opaque to our database.
02
PIN-based recovery, like UPI
Forgot your password? Reset it with email, then enter your 6-digit PIN to unlock. Familiar, fast, and your PIN never leaves your device either.
03
Subpoena-proof, by design
If a court orders Aksho to hand over your data, we can only give encrypted data. We don't hold the key. We never could.
THE FOUNDER
Built by someone who gets it.
FOUNDER & CEO · AKSHO
Rajdatta
Indian Photographer + Builder · 2026
I write code for a living, but I've always seen the world through a camera lens.
As a wedding photographer, I realized that the hardest part wasn't capturing emotions — it was managing everything around them. Client data, bookings, payments, expenses, gear, edits, follow-ups — the creative process was constantly interrupted by operational clutter.
So I started building the tool I wished existed.
Aksho was born from real problems faced during real shoots, late-night edits, missed follow-ups, and endless spreadsheets. A system crafted for photographers who want to spend less time organizing chaos and more time doing meaningful creative work.
Because photography should feel creative — not administrative.
“Less admin. More art.”
THE TEAM
Small team. Big ambition.
We're intentionally small — every decision is made by people who understand both photography studios and software craft.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions.
Can Aksho see my client data?
No. Your data is encrypted with a key derived from your password. We only ever see encrypted data. Even if we tried, we cannot decrypt it.
What if I forget my password?
Use the email reset link, then enter your 6-digit PIN to unlock. Takes 2 minutes.
What if I forget my PIN?
Sign in with your password and reset the PIN from Settings.
What if I forget BOTH?
Your data is gone — permanently. We genuinely cannot recover it. This is the trade-off for true privacy. Write your PIN down somewhere safe.
What if Aksho gets hacked?
The attacker walks away with encrypted data. Useless without your password or PIN, which we never had.
Where is my data stored?
On servers in Mumbai, India. Encrypted before it leaves your device. No third-party backups, no leak surface.
