Co-founder and CEO, VerifyU
A face scan that can save a life.
In any country, when someone is hurt, lost or can't speak, the first minutes decide everything. I'm building what we believe is the world's first facial-recognition emergency identity app, so one scan tells the people helping who they are, what they need and who to call.
Why it exists
The golden hour shouldn't be lost to a missing name.
An accident on the road. A fall at the gym. A parent living with dementia who wanders away. Phones are locked, wallets are missing, and the people who could help don't know who they're helping. Every minute spent finding a name, a blood group or a family number is a minute the person doesn't get back.
VerifyU puts that information one face scan away. Scanning is for emergencies only, to help someone who can't speak for themselves.

- Be a 10-second lifesaver.Designed around consent and India's DPDP Act, 2023.
The same problem, in every country.
Every day, somewhere in the world, someone needs help and can't tell anyone who they are. VerifyU is built for all of these moments.
- Road accidentsThe injured get identified in the golden hour, and their family gets the call.
- Dementia and wanderingA loved one who can't say their name still gets home safely.
- Travellers abroadNo shared language needed. A face scan speaks for you.
- Big events and pilgrimagesFamilies separated in a crowd find each other faster.
- Campuses, gyms and workplacesEveryone registered before anything happens.
- Elderly people living aloneHelp that knows their medical needs and who to call.
For families living with dementia
When someone can't remember their name, their face still can.
Wandering is one of the biggest fears for families living with dementia, in every country. A person may not know their address, their phone number or even their own name. With VerifyU, a registered helper scans their face and sees who they are, their medical details and who to call, so they can get back to the people who love them.
- Nothing to carry or lose: their face is the ID
- Medical details for the people helping them
- Family contacts one scan away, so the right person gets the call
How it could go Example
- 4:10 pmAn elderly man is found confused at a railway station. He can't say where he lives.
- 4:12 pmA registered helper scans his face with VerifyU.
- 4:12 pmHis profile shows his name, his medical details and his daughter's number.
- 4:14 pmHis daughter is on the phone and on her way.
One platform. Every person who helps in an emergency.
VerifyU is more than an app. The vision is a whole emergency ecosystem on one platform, where every stakeholder gets value and every connection makes the next rescue faster.
