The GTB Trust Layer
Two automated halves. Zero humans in your way.
Half one — your identity, verified in 30 seconds.
Aadhaar OTP (UIDAI e-KYC)
UIDAI e-KYC consent flow. We confirm your legal identity against the UIDAI database with your explicit consent — never storing the full Aadhaar number.
PAN match (name + DOB)
PAN is matched against your name and date of birth. This catches identity mismatches that Aadhaar alone cannot.
Karza face-liveness + photo match
A live selfie is matched to your Aadhaar photo via Karza's liveness engine. No deepfakes, no stolen photos, no proxy verifications.
All three run automatically via APIs. No queue. No staff review. Verified or rejected in under 60 seconds.
Half two — your work, verified by the platforms you already trust.
You link the platforms where your real work lives — LinkedIn for employment, Spotify for releases, IMDb for credits, Vimeo for reels, Behance for portfolios, YouTube for owned audience, Wikipedia for notability. You submit the URL. We display the link. Anyone viewing your profile clicks through to the source platform directly. GTB does not fetch, store, or verify content from these platforms — we are a discovery gateway, not a content aggregator.

notability via your article
Three trust levels. Earned, never assigned.
SILVER
Identity verified through Aadhaar and PAN, plus at least 1 self-submitted external profile URL. The entry tier for every active member.
GOLD
All Silver requirements, plus 3 or more self-submitted external profile URLs across different platforms and a complete profile (bio, skills, profession filled).
PLATINUM
All Gold requirements, plus 5 or more linked profiles and a verified industry credential — FWICE, CINTAA, IPRS, PPL India, or company MCA21 registration.
Trust levels auto-compute nightly. Wikipedia counts as 2 external profiles toward the threshold.
Disputes route automatically.
If a verified profile is challenged, our automated system pauses the profile, requests fresh verification from the linked platforms, and resolves within 48 hours. Founder-level escalation only triggers past a defined threshold.
Your data, your control
Every verification step happens under explicit, granular consent — recorded and timestamped per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Your verification artefacts are stored on India-resident infrastructure. You can withdraw consent and request erasure at any time.
You can disconnect any linked platform at any time. Disconnection lowers your trust level automatically; no human review is needed to disconnect.
