Recognized among India's Top 12 AI Innovators

Neural Defend was named among India's Top 12 AI Innovators in the NPCI–NVIDIA Bharat AI Experience Zone at Global Fintech Fest 2025.

Across three days in Mumbai, our team presented Neural Defend's deepfake and synthetic-media detection technology to financial institutions, technology leaders, investors, policymakers and other members of India's fintech ecosystem.

Visitors joined us at Booth 8 to see how our detection systems inspect suspicious audio and video and how those signals can support high-risk workflows across financial services and digital identity.

One of 12 companies featured in the zone

The Bharat AI Experience Zone brought together 12 companies working on applied AI: Gnani.ai, Neural Defend, AbleCredit, Febi.ai, F5 Networks, Fundamento.ai, Gupshup, LiaPlus, Razorpay, Rootflo, Vobiz and Sarvam.

The programme gave visitors a direct way to experience AI products built for Indian and global use cases rather than encountering them only through presentations.

Deepfake detection for financial services

Financial institutions increasingly depend on remote onboarding, video interactions, digital documents, customer calls and user-submitted evidence. Each of these channels can be targeted using synthetic or manipulated media.

At GFF, we demonstrated how Neural Defend can help teams add authenticity checks to these workflows. The goal is to give fraud, risk, compliance and operations teams an actionable signal before suspicious media influences an approval or investigation.

Why the selection matters

Being selected for the Bharat AI Experience Zone gave Neural Defend an opportunity to demonstrate our product alongside some of the most active AI companies in the fintech ecosystem.

We thank NPCI, NVIDIA and the Global Fintech Fest team for creating a space where companies could present live technology, receive direct feedback and build new industry relationships.
