AUTHBLUE- A RELIABLE MARKETPLACE FOR VERIFICATION

With a growing economy, the need for workers and employees has sky-rocketed, with no specific means to find reliable, efficient, and trustworthy workers. India accounts to the largest unorganized sector, with blue-collar workers engaging in fields such as driving, delivery, domestic help, or construction, to name a few. Even with SMB, the hiring process is on an ad hoc basis, which renders the need for verification of the workers more essential in today’s age. Sujeet Buddiga and Saurabh Tiwari, founded AuthBlue- a Hyderabad-based startup in 2018, with the aim to help in the verification of these workers and streamlining the process. The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), a wing under the Ministry of Home Affairs in its 2018 report published a stark rise in the number of crimes in residential premises and homes due to lack of proper verification and authentication of the domestic help and workers employed.

 Over the years, there have been several companies who offer background verification services, and AuthBlue acts as a marketplace for these companies and creates a seamless experience for the end user. They have set up a DIPP-recognized platform that helps companies and individuals connect with companies who conduct background verification checks, and intends to ease the access of the user to the various services provided by these companies as per their requirements. AuthBlue currently hosts companies providing 10 different types of verification, and charges a minimal commission between Rs. 8 – Rs. 15 per profile where the price depends on the checks opted for. 

AuthBlue is currently tied up with JantaKhoj, Info Quest, Dcode and Icrest, and is constantly trying to simplify the process of verification for the consumer. They also intend to enter the supply market by training and hiring the blue-collar workforce, and facilitate more organized jobs in the blue-collar sector. They recently raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding led by a group of undisclosed investors. In India, this being a pressing problem, needs to be dealt with so as to optimally utilize the labour force, while also making sure that the workers, as well as the employers, are not under any threat.

In case you’re hiring, explore AuthBlue and verify your workers/employees in the most reliable, seamless, and trustworthy way.
