About Praman

Proof. Evidence. Trust.

We are building India's verifiable trust infrastructure — so that every academic credential can be proven authentic in seconds, not years.

The Mission

Praman (प्रमाण) — Sanskrit for “proof” or “evidence” — is a verifiable trust infrastructure that eliminates India's academic credential fraud crisis.

We digitize university source records at origin and issue cryptographically verifiable credentials built on international standards. The result: any employer, government body, or institution can verify any credential in under five seconds, with mathematical certainty — no phone calls, no RTI applications, no middlemen.

Bihar Credential Crisis

Why We Exist

Bihar's credential verification system is fundamentally broken. The numbers tell the story.

0

Teacher certificates under active Vigilance Bureau investigation

10 Years

Attempting to manually verify 6,56,395 certificates — still incomplete

0+

Teachers risk termination for fake credentials

0

New positions via BPSC TRE 4.0 requiring the same broken verification

Patna High Court Mandate

Ranjeet Pandit v. State of Bihar— a Public Interest Litigation mandating a systematic solution to Bihar's credential verification crisis. The court has made it clear: the status quo is unacceptable.
