NEW DELHI, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Comviva, one of the global leaders in providing digital financial solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Accura Scan, one of the world’s leading and most advanced digital KYC (Know Your Customers) and identity verification service provider. Comviva has a broad portfolio of banks and payment service providers that leverage its mobiquity® product suite, which powers over 70 digital banking, payments and wallet services in more than 50 countries. This partnership will allow Comviva to leverage Accura Scan’s state-of-the-art digital KYC and identity verification service to offer swift, smooth and secure digital onboarding and user verification solution to banks and payment service providers.

Comviva

Accura Scan makes the user onboarding process on a digital banking, payment or wallet service quick, efficient and secure by scanning the user documents with accuracy and speed and doing real-time user verification remotely, preventing frauds. Accura Scan’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology scans identity documents such as National ID, driving license and passport, and converts the scanned documents into files easily read by the machines with 100 percent accuracy. The information obtained by scanning the identity documents can be used to autofill the KYC form to simplify and speed up the digital onboarding process.

With the aid of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, Accura Scan helps in digital KYC verification. Accura Scan uses a video Selfie and matches the user Selfie with the photo shown in the identity document to do real-time user verification and authentication. Accura Scan also does a Liveness Check to ascertain person was present himself or herself while doing the digital KYC. Accura Scan uses novel 3D Selfie technology to capture hundreds of images of people when they take a Selfie video to verify themselves and creates a 3D identity map that can’t be spoofed. Accura Scan provides face match Score and Liveness score within seconds, accelerating the digital KYC process, while ensuring full compliance and security.

Comviva has already deployed Accura Scan’s digital KYC and identity verification solution in one of the leading banks in Middle East.

Speaking on the partnership, Srinivas Nidugondi, COO and EVP, Digital Financial Solutions, Comviva said, “Comviva’s mobiquity® product suite is constantly evolving with a strong focus on the market and is embracing cutting edge technologies for growth and innovation. The digital onboarding is a key functionality of the product and is highly configurable and can be customized depending upon the requirements of the clients. COVID-19 has accelerated the digital transformation in banking and payments industry with special focus on digital onboarding of users. Thus, Comviva is joining hands with Accura Scan to provide a pre-integrated digital KYC solution as part of the onboarding functionality in its mobiquity® product suite. This partnership will significantly accelerate the time to deploy mobiquity® in banks and payment service providers offering digital services.”

Speaking on the partnership, Yasin Patel, CEO, Accura Scan said, “Accura Scan provides a comprehensive set of digital KYC services which includes document authentication and OCR, face match, identity verification and video KYC. The OCR product improves the user experience by enabling scanning of identity documents to capture required data for KYC, instead of manually typing the information. This, coupled with document authentication, provides a confidence score for the document, and prevents fraud or counterfeit documents getting presented as part of KYC. The face match product uses machine learning capabilities to verify that the user‘s picture is same as that in the identity document. Liveness detection, based on artificial intelligence, further strengthens the digital KYC process by ensuring that person is live during the onboarding process. Our partnership with Comviva will help us to extend these digital KYC services to mobiquity® product suite deployments, and provide swift, smooth and secure digital onboarding and user verification service to the consumers.”

Comviva’s mobiquity® product suite includes mobiquity® Banking suite and mobiquity® Pay.

“India has the oldest and most profound culture of storytelling. We learnt everything from storytelling – from the code of conduct to our belief system”: Imtiaz Ali at India Global Forum’s NXT25

MUMBAI, India, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Storytelling, cinema, and digital content took the spotlight at ‘Making WAVES – the Culture Forum’ hosted during the India Global Forum’s NXT25: Leading the Leap Summit at the Jio World Convention Centre on April 8. The forum brought together some of India’s most iconic voices across entertainment and media to explore the evolving narrative of India emerging as a global powerhouse for content and digital innovation.

In a Fireside Chat titled, ‘Making WAVES – India as a Global Content Hub’, renowned Director and Writer Imtiaz Ali, said: “As a storyteller, I do not have to worry about what everybody likes. The way to find out the code is by finding what I would like. Since I have been in the film industry, I have been told that formula (movie success) is not working. Thank God for that, because if the formula worked, none of us would be here making movies. We (India) have the oldest and most profound culture of storytelling. We learnt everything from storytelling. Everything has been learnt from stories, from the code of conduct to our belief system.”

Continuing the conversation, Monika Shergill, Vice President – Content, Netflix India, highlighted: “The beautiful confluence of creativity and technology has allowed the creators not to be limited to where they are. The biggest enabler of this trend is a resurgence of hyperlocal. Indian audiences are among the most experiential, diverse, curious, and fantastic audiences. As streamers, storytellers, and creators, we must take advantage of this opportunity.”

This was followed by a conversation with Ekta Kapoor, Joint MD, Balaji Telefilms LTD, on the Intersection of Art, Success & Global Influence. She said, “There are different metrics of success for everyone. At Balaji and I, as content providers, believe success comes in three or four ways: getting the economics right, creating impact, and earning recognition.” On a lighter note, when asked about the upcoming remake of her hit TV show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kapoor teased the return of actor and politician Smriti Irani, saying: “We are bringing politics into entertainment or a politician.”

Later, in a Fireside Chat on ‘Inspiring Journeys’, noted actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, opened up about the challenges she faced and said: “This industry has no set rules or frameworks; if it has worked for someone, it doesn’t mean it will work for you. Nothing is permanent, not the highs or lows. We cannot get too attached to fame or failure; work is not our identity.”

Talking about her inspiration, Fatima, said: “I enjoy Kangana’s work. She is an incredible actor. She was one of the first ones to come from the outside and do different movies, like Queen & Tanu Weds Manu.”

Co-hosted with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the Culture Forum also served as a precursor to the upcoming World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES). Speaking on the occasion, Achal Malhotra, CEO, WAVES, National Film Development Corporation Ltd., said: “Most of us have started hearing about WAVES very recently but this was envisioned by our Hon’ Prime Minister way back in 2019. We have done a lot of look and see of the other great shows happening around the world. Therefore, we realised that with technology the way we produce content and the way we are seeing content consumption and also content delivery is changing at a pace we really don’t know what’s going to be the next tool that’s going to come.”

Bringing together CEOs, policymakers, global investors, and industry disruptors, NXT25 explores the biggest trends shaping India’s future on the world stage, spotlighting India’s ambitions for the next 25 years and its emergence as a global powerhouse in investment, technology, sustainability, and innovation.

Creddinv Launches ‘The Smart Investor’ App

India’s first app facilitating 100% digital startup investment processes

BENGALURU, India, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Creddinv, India’s premier curated startup investment platform, is set to revolutionize the way investors engage with startups through its new ‘Creddinv: The Smart Investor’ app, launching today.

This first-of-its-kind application is designed exclusively for high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), angel investors and venture capitalists looking to seamlessly discover and invest in India’s most promising startups.

Key Features of the Smart Investor App:

  • Curated Startup Listings – Access thoroughly vetted and high-potential startup investment opportunities.
  • Seamless Investment Process – Invest in a few clicks with a secure and intuitive interface.
  • Real-Time Portfolio Tracking – Monitor the investments and stay updated with market insights.

The Smart Investor App becomes an exclusive gateway to invest in startups through Creddinv’s Premium Series, as a part of which investors will be assigned a dedicated investment banker to manage their portfolios.

What is Premium Series?

Premium Series is a curated investment experience launched by Creddinv for investors seeking high-potential private equity opportunities in early-stage startups. Unlike pooled investments like AIF Category I, Premium Series allows investors to invest directly on a startup’s cap table via Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS)—alongside prominent angel investors and institutional funds.

Each cohort in the Premium Series features a highly selective group of startups across trending sectors like fintech, electric vehicles (EV), SaaS, agri-tech, consumer & FMCG, Robotics and AI. Only 2% of the startups evaluated make it to the final portfolio—ensuring one can only see the best of the best.

“We believe the future of wealth creation lies in startup investments, and with the Smart Investor App, we are empowering investors to be at the forefront of India’s entrepreneurial revolution, by letting them know every step they take,” said Anil Kumar Kar, Director and Co-Founder of Creddinv.

With startup investments emerging as a key asset class in India’s booming private equity landscape, Creddinv’s Smart Investor App is set to democratize access to high-growth opportunities while making startup investments more transparent, efficient and profitable.

“For years, investing in startups has been complex and reserved for a select few. Today, we change that. The Smart Investor App makes it easier than ever to discover, evaluate and invest in the next big thing in the most transparent way possible,” said Nandakishor, Director and Co-Founder of Creddinv.

The app will be available for download on iOS and Android starting April 10, 2025.

Stay tuned for more updates and be among the first to experience the future of startup investing.
