VerifyU App: A Facial Recognition Emergency Identity Platform Built to Save Indian Lives

Mumbai, Maharashtra (India), January 12, 2026: In emergencies, time is everything. Yet across India, accident victims, lost dementia patients, and missing individuals often remain unidentified for critical minutes, or even hours, because basic information is unavailable. VerifyU, a facial recognition–based emergency identity app, was built to change that reality.

Launched in 2025 under Beaufort IT Solutions LLP, VerifyU is the vision of Capt. Saurabh Saraswat, a former mariner based in Navi Mumbai. The idea was born not from a business plan, but from a deeply personal loss. During a family vacation, his brother-in-law lost his life in a road accident, not because medical care was unavailable, but because doctors could not access basic details like blood group or medical history in time. By the time information reached the hospital, it was too late.
