Our products are a result of the marriage between compliance and technology. All our products are built on AI-driven technologies like facial recognition, liveness detection, data extraction and optical character recognition to verify national identity documents, educational and professional documents. We are data security compliant and use our proprietary database along with public databases for instant searches and verification. Our identity management and verification products automate mundane compliance and verification processes helping you build a solid workforce and a verified customer base to eliminate risks of fraud, thereby restoring trust.
In early 2005, global organisations were looking at India to outsource their processes. But they needed to ensure that the people they were hiring from India had personal and professional credibility as they were going to be exposed to sensitive information and data. The risks of working with unverified employees was huge and at a time when the Indian market did not have a formal infrastructure for identity verifications, our founding team was ahead of its time to realise that this gap needed to be bridged. This led to the conception of AuthBridge and it spearheaded of the verification and risk management movement in India.
Back in 2005, we set out to build an organisation with the sole purpose of building a formal infrastructure in the verification industry. From developing processes to establishing best practices, we built this industry in India from scratch. Our initial operations were completely manual and necessitated a lot of paperwork but our first leap into technology led us to launch Bridge – an online system that led to assembly-line-like handling of our operations, enabling efficiency, speed and scalability to process background screening cases. But in the ever-changing world of compliance, it was necessary to automate verification processes to scale up as a techdriven organisation. We took up the industrious task of creating databases, conducting data mining and live scraping of data, and built algorithms to enable instant searches to perform background checks without compromising on data security.
