AuthBridge Unveils GroundCheck.ai: India’s First AI-Powered Contact Point Verification Platform

Built for Digital Lending and Risk-Based Compliance, the Platform Redefines CPV for Customers, Merchants, and Vendors

In a significant move to modernize India’s verification infrastructure, AuthBridge, the country’s leading trust and authentication technology company, has launched GroundCheck.ai — India’s first AI-powered platform purpose-built to transform Contact Point Verification (CPV) for customers, merchants, and vendors across sectors.

At a time when digital onboarding, embedded finance, and compliance regulations are rapidly evolving, GroundCheck.ai delivers a unified solution for conducting digital, remote, and on-ground verifications, tailored to risk profiles and enabled by AI, automation, and geolocation intelligence.

With operational coverage across 20,000+ PIN codes, GroundCheck.ai addresses long-standing industry challenges such as fragmented service networks, inconsistent field quality, and delayed turnaround times—bringing scale, speed, and accuracy to the heart of CPV.

Ajay Trehan, Founder & CEO of AuthBridge said: “GroundCheck.ai represents a transformative leap in how we approach Contact Point Verification. As businesses navigate an increasingly digital and risk-sensitive world, the need for agile, intelligent, and scalable verification solutions has never been more urgent. This platform has been purpose-built for a new reality—where remote onboarding, instant decisions, and compliance confidence are business-critical.

GroundCheck.ai: The Next Generation of CPV

GroundCheck.ai merges the rigour of physical verification with the intelligence of automation and machine learning, delivering a seamless experience across customer, merchant, and vendor lifecycles. Its key features include:

  • AI-Powered, Risk-Aligned Workflows – Configurable flows tailored for Basic, Moderate, and High-risk tiers
  • Geolocation & Face Match Technology – Real-time address triangulation, liveness checks, and shopfront identification
  • Agentic AI Capabilities – Auto-extraction of business names, types, and line-of-business (LOB) details from images
  • Speech-to-Text & Geo-Tagged Field Data – Context-rich, auditable reporting with real-time location tagging
  • Smart Task Allocation & Automated QC – AI-based case assignment, anomaly detection, and geo-intelligent routing
  • Custom Dashboards & Reporting Tools – Real-time insights, actionable summaries, and GPS-coded reports for faster decision-making

Whether it’s credit card verification, savings account onboarding, merchant validation, vendor diligence, or collection skip tracing, GroundCheck.ai offers unmatched versatility for regulated and high-risk sectors including BFSI, fintech, logistics, and insurance.

Flexible Deployment Models for Every Business Need

GroundCheck.ai offers three flexible deployment models to suit diverse operational needs:

  • Use of the client’s agents through a white-labelled app
  • Hybrid model using AuthBridge’s trained field force via the client’s platform
  • Fully managed services handled end-to-end by AuthBridge

This flexibility, combined with reliable execution in low-connectivity regions and the option for discreet or non-discreet field visits, ensures scalable, compliant, and context-aware verifications across geographies.

The launch of GroundCheck.ai marks a major milestone in AuthBridge’s mission to power trust at scale through advanced automation, responsible AI, and data intelligence. As industries increasingly rely on distributed, digital-first workflows, platforms like GroundCheck.ai will serve as critical infrastructure for frictionless onboarding and robust risk mitigation.With a presence in 140+ countries and a record of conducting 15 million verifications per month, AuthBridge continues to lead the global identity verification landscape with cutting-edge technology and future-forward solutions.
