Shilpa Guruprasanna - Founder & Director - SecureVisage Pvt. Ltd.
In today’s digital world, our identities live everywhere, in our phones, our passwords, and our faces. Every time we log in, make a payment, or sign a document, we leave a trace of who we are. But as life moves online, that identity has become easier to copy, manipulate, and steal. Deepfakes can recreate a person’s face, stolen credentials can unlock entire systems, and even a single photo can be turned into a tool for fraud. Somewhere between convenience and vulnerability, trust has started to slip away.
The question now isn’t how we prove who we are but how we prove that we’re real.
For Shilpa Guruprasanna, this question marked the beginning of a mission to make technology serve authenticity. With more than twelve years in software and web development, she had seen firsthand how fragile digital trust had become. Drawing from over a decade of experience in software and product development, she envisioned a solution that could distinguish a real, live human presence from an artificial one. That idea took form in SecureVisage in 2025, an AI-powered identity verification and liveness detection platform built to restore digital trust where it’s most at risk.
An experienced software and web developer with over twelve years of expertise, Shilpa has built a career creating scalable, user-centric digital solutions that span web applications and product design. Her work has always been defined by innovation and impact, delivering results in fast-paced, dynamic environments while meeting both technical and business goals. Her skills cover every stage of development, from designing intuitive user experiences to building robust, maintainable code architectures that bring ideas to life.
Beyond her professional work, she also serves as a mentor at the ReDI School of Digital Integration in Germany, where she supports and guides the next generation of developers. This role reflects her deep commitment to inclusive tech education and her belief that technology should empower people. By combining technical expertise with a passion for learning and mentorship, she continues to make a meaningful impact both within the industry and in the broader community.
The idea for SecureVisage grew from a moment of frustration and realisation. As our lives increasingly moved online, she noticed how vulnerable digital identities had become. Deepfakes, stolen credentials, and spoofed profiles were eroding the foundations of digital trust.
“I remember thinking,” she recalls, “if we can unlock our phones with our faces, why can’t we protect our identities the same way, but safely and ethically?” That thought became the seed for SecureVisage.
With a small team of AI engineers and tech professionals, she began experimenting with facial recognition models that could not only identify a face but also detect whether it was truly live. The early prototypes focused on liveness detection, teaching the system to tell the difference between a real person and a replayed image or deepfake. Over time, the team built a hybrid verification framework combining active and passive detection methods to strengthen both security and user experience. Today, SecureVisage stands for a belief that technology, when used responsibly, can rebuild digital trust.
In an increasingly digital world where every interaction, from banking to healthcare, depends on secure identity verification, SecureVisage is redefining how trust is built online. The company combines advanced facial recognition with next-generation AI-driven fraud prevention to ensure that every identity verified is confirmed as live and authentic.
At its core, SecureVisage is an AI-powered identity verification and liveness detection platform that protects businesses and users from impersonation, deepfakes, and biometric fraud. Its hybrid system integrates both active and passive liveness detection, blending invisible behavioural cues with real-time user challenges to confirm genuine human presence. This balanced approach delivers exceptional accuracy without compromising user convenience.
From secure logins to physical access systems, SecureVisage offers real-time, frictionless verification designed for sectors where trust and compliance matter most, including finance, healthcare, and government.
Guided by principles of integrity, transparency, and privacy-by-design, SecureVisage continues to evolve with a mission to create a fraud-free digital world. Its small but passionate team is already engaging with startups and real estate enterprises and preparing to expand toward consumer-focused solutions. Every step forward brings the company closer to its vision to build a trusted and secure digital future by enabling real-time identity verification through AI-driven facial recognition and biometric technology.
SecureVisage operates at the crossroads of biometric security, AI-based fraud prevention, and digital identity verification. Its core lies in biometric identity verification, using traits like facial recognition, fingerprints, or voice patterns to confirm authenticity with precision.
The company’s expertise also spans cybersecurity, helping organisations prevent identity fraud and unauthorised access. In the physical security space, SecureVisage’s solutions integrate with surveillance systems, smart gates, and secure facility entry points.
The company’s suite of offerings reflects this wide reach:
AI-Powered Facial Recognition: Real-time identity verification for apps, web platforms, and enterprise systems.
Liveness Detection Software: AI-based anti-spoofing that blocks photos, videos, and deepfakes.
Seamless API & SDK Integration: Easy deployment across mobile apps, websites, and enterprise platforms without disruption.
Instant Alert Mechanism: Flags suspicious or high-risk activity for immediate action.
Delivery Verification: Ensures recipient and agent authenticity, preventing fake or fraudulent deliveries.
Custom Enterprise Solutions: White-labelled applications, on-premise deployment options, and fraud analytics dashboards.
For Shilpa, the greatest challenge has been balancing ambition with responsibility, building a company while nurturing a family. Managing a growing venture alongside motherhood tested her patience, focus, and resilience in ways few experiences could. Turning an idea into a working product meant long hours, constant problem-solving, and an unshakeable belief in the purpose behind it.
From finding the right concept to assembling a capable team and setting up the needed infrastructure, every step came with its own hurdles. Yet, the moment SecureVisage went live made every sleepless night worthwhile, a reminder that perseverance and purpose can turn obstacles into milestones.
That journey also became her most meaningful leadership lesson. It taught her that success isn’t defined by ease or strength, but by resilience, empathy, and conviction. True leadership, she believes, is about moving forward despite uncertainty, inspiring others to believe in what’s possible, even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
SecureVisage stands out for its precision-driven technology and people-first approach. Its advanced anti-spoofing and liveness detection protect against deepfakes and other identity frauds, while seamless integration and instant alerts ensure reliability across industries. Scalable by design, its solutions serve startups, enterprises, and government bodies with equal ease.
At the heart of SecureVisage lies a set of values that remain constant through every stage of growth. The company operates with integrity, ensuring honesty and accountability in every interaction. It upholds security without compromise, designing each solution to protect users and organisations with precision and reliability. Its approach to innovation is purpose-driven, using ethical AI to solve real-world problems.
Equally central are its principles of privacy by design and trust through transparency, embedding data protection into the system’s core and communicating openly about how technology serves users. Guided by a human-centric philosophy and a spirit of resilience and accountability, SecureVisage continues to strengthen its mission to build a safer, more trusted digital world.
Shilpa believes that people are the heart of any successful venture. “At SecureVisage, our team is our strongest differentiator. From the start, we focus on individuals who share our passion for innovation, integrity, and purpose. We look beyond resumes, seeking curious minds, problem solvers, and team players driven by impact,” she says.
Retention at SecureVisage is built on culture rather than policies. Creativity is encouraged, contributions are recognised, and continuous learning is a core value. Through mentorship, flexible work models, and ownership-driven projects, every team member feels valued, while milestones are celebrated and goals are aligned with purpose to maintain motivation and engagement. “Our philosophy is simple: they don’t just work; they grow with us,” explains Shilpa.
For Shilpa, success has never been about numbers; it has always been about impact. Every time a user places confidence in their solution, or a business prevents fraud through SecureVisage, that sense of trust becomes the true measure of success.
“I believe success is also about the journey: the late nights spent solving complex problems, the small team that believed in a big dream, and the courage to build responsibly in an AI-driven world,” she reflects. Guided by purpose, people, and principles, SecureVisage continues to evolve while staying rooted in its core values of privacy, trust, and ethics.
Though still in its early years, the company’s innovation and persistence have already been recognised across the industry. SecureVisage has received several honours, including Innovative Startup of the Year from the International Icon Awards 2025 and the Best Startup Award from the World Entrepreneur Summit 2025. Shilpa too has received the World Women Entrepreneur Award from the International Social Awards.
With SecureVisage’s first version already live, the company is now working on its next major milestone, an advanced AI-driven login and attendance system designed for seamless integration with existing enterprise infrastructures. This next phase aims to strengthen SecureVisage’s position as a trusted technology partner in identity verification and access control.
The future of the facial recognition and fraud prevention industry holds immense promise. With the global market projected to exceed USD 90 billion and India alone expected to reach over USD 887 million in the next decade, SecureVisage is strategically positioned to expand across both B2B and B2C segments.
By combining innovation with purpose, the company aims to capture this growth while ensuring that every technological advancement reinforces its founding mission: building a safer, more trusted digital world.
Advising aspiring entrepreneurs, Shilpa shares candidly, “From my own journey, my advice to anyone on this path is simple: believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Confidence is your strongest foundation.”
She continues, “Entrepreneurship isn’t a straight road; it’s a series of challenges, lessons, and small victories. There will be barriers, setbacks, and moments of doubt, but each one is a stepping stone toward your larger goal. Never lose hope, no matter how tough the journey becomes. Every failure teaches you something invaluable; every obstacle shapes your resilience.”
