We’re proud to announce that Ajay Trehan, Founder & CEO of AuthBridge, has been featured in YourStory’s coveted list of “Leaders & Brands to Watch 2025.”
Recognised for his visionary leadership and commitment to innovation, Ajay stands among a select group of entrepreneurs reshaping India’s digital and trust infrastructure across industries.
Ajay Trehan founded AuthBridge in 2005, inspired by the trust deficit global enterprises faced while working in India. Over the years, he has transformed the company from a pioneer in background screening into India’s leading provider of AI-powered identity intelligence and real-time verification solutions.
His mission: to help businesses build trust at scale through automation, analytics, and integrity-first design.
Under Ajay’s leadership, AuthBridge has continuously embraced change — from adopting AI and machine learning in verification workflows to navigating global shifts like the COVID-19 pandemic. With over 15 million verifications processed monthly, the platform now powers trust for 3,000+ enterprises across sectors including BFSI, gig economy, logistics, and healthcare.
As India’s digital and hiring landscape evolves, we are proud to see Ajay’s leadership and AuthBridge’s mission recognised by platforms like YourStory. This milestone underscores our commitment to building a safer, smarter, and more transparent future for organisations everywhere.
As impersonation and resume fraud rise, AuthBridge now integrates biometric checks throughout the hiring journey. Verification starts early — sometimes even at resume submission — covering identity, employment, and address before an offer is made.
Moonlighting detection has also become a norm, with clients now requesting checks for dual employment to protect against conflict of interest.
Beyond traditional data points, AuthBridge uses alternative data — like mobile numbers, company legitimacy, and behavioural insights — to validate candidate authenticity. In high-risk sectors like BFSI, logistics, and healthcare, continuous background monitoring is fast becoming an industry standard.
With millions of gig workers and delivery partners entering the workforce, AuthBridge’s digital-first process allows them to self-verify by simply uploading ID documents via mobile — drastically reducing manual paperwork and onboarding time.
“For clients hiring drivers, we now verify Aadhaar, PAN, and DL in real time — while screening against negative records,” adds Mr. Trehan.
While enterprises lead the way in digital background checks, SMEs often overlook verification. Mr. Trehan warns that a single bad hire can disproportionately affect a small business. Background checks should be a non-negotiable for growth and security.
