Nearly 1 in 10 FMCG Distributor Applications Fail Critical Regulatory Checks, New AuthBridge Report Finds

Festive hiring rush exposes a deeper risk: Who is really joining the workforce?

As gig and seasonal hiring accelerates across e-commerce, quick commerce and logistics, employers are confronting a more complex verification challenge: ensuring the person recruited is the person who actually joins the workforce.

Commenting on these findings, Ajay Trehan, Founder and CEO of AuthBridge, highlights how hiring-related discrepancies point to a deeper, structural issue that requires stronger and more reliable verification practices.

“The H1 FY26 Workforce Fraud Files clearly show that hiring-related discrepancies remain a persistent and structural challenge. Despite faster and more digitised hiring workflows, we continue to see gaps in fundamental checks such as employment history, address, and education.”
