Palm Vein Solutions.

We build the sub-dermal palm-vein layer India does not yet have: a credential that lives beneath the skin, cannot be handed over, copied or left at home, and reaches the existing payment and access rails instead of competing with them.

The mandate

Why India needs its own palm-vein layer.

Two things are true at once: the verification methods India relies on are being defeated faster than they are being replaced, and the payment volume riding on them is among the largest in the world.

20Cr

rupees of documented Indian synthetic-media fraud exposure

13.9B

monthly UPI transactions dependent on a working device

<50$/mo

generative tooling that defeats Video KYC

01

Verification that can be generated can be faked

Cheap AI tools can now fool face-scan verification, and Indian banks and lenders have already lost roughly ₹20 crore to this kind of fraud, with the cost of the attack still falling. Any credential with an outward image can be reproduced.

02

The payment rail assumes a working device

Nearly fourteen billion UPI transactions a month depend on a phone staying charged, connected, un-swapped and unlost. That is an enormous amount of national payment volume resting on a battery. A vein pattern needs none of it.

03

The category exists globally, but not here

Palm-vein payment has already been proven at scale abroad by Tencent's Weixin Palm and by Ingenico. India has the transaction volume and the identity-assurance requirement, and no domestic infrastructure layer of its own. Palm Vein Solutions is building that layer under Indian data law.

What we build

One recognition stack, two commercial tracks.

The physics and the pipeline are shared. What changes between the tracks is the terminal, the integration surface and who signs the contract: an access controller in one case, a payment switch in the other.

Track one

SecureAccess

Enterprise access and workforce verification: turnstiles, factory and campus gates, and attendance where a plastic badge is transferable by design. Sold as terminals plus an integration path into facility and HR systems.

Enterprise access · workforce

Track two

PalmPay FinTech

Device-free payment and identity at the point of service: retail counters, bank branches, AePS and transit gates. Integrates through the UPI switch and AePS rather than replacing them.

Leadership

Two founders, two halves of the business.

A small team, so ownership is unambiguous: one side runs the business, the other builds the product.
