Kathmandu: A new social platform, ZKTOR, has launched in South Asia, aiming to redefine digital privacy, user autonomy, and online safety in the region.
Developed with the region’s cultural sensitivities in mind, ZKTOR introduces a Zero Behaviour Tracking model, meaning it does not track or profile user activity, and a Zero-Knowledge Framework, which ensures all data remains fully encrypted and inaccessible even to the platform itself.
The platform also prioritizes women’s safety, with features that prevent the downloading of private images and videos, real-time AI moderation of harmful content, and protection against online extortion. For young users, ZKTOR provides a feed free from algorithmic manipulation.
Its hyperlocal architecture adapts to the identity and culture of each country—India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka while offering features such as messaging, networking, encrypted media, private vaults, and community spaces.
Founded by Sunil Kumar Singh, a privacy expert from India, ZKTOR emphasizes independence from foreign investment or corporate influence. Singh says the platform is “not a product but a responsibility to South Asia,” aiming to restore digital dignity and security for users across the region.
With its launch, ZKTOR positions itself as a platform built on user privacy, autonomy, and cultural respect, marking a major step toward South Asia’s digital sovereignty.
