We Built the Future
of Event Entry
FacePass started with a simple observation: standing in queue at events is a 50-year-old problem that nobody fixed. We fixed it.
The Problem We Saw
India hosts thousands of events every week — concerts, conferences, sports, cultural shows. Yet every single one has the same broken entry experience: queues snaking out the door, staff frantically scanning QR codes, people fumbling for phones, printouts, and IDs.
The tools available to organisers hadn't changed in decades. The friction wasn't a feature gap — it was a missed 15 years of biometric progress sitting unused.
In early 2026, our team in Pune decided to close that gap permanently. The result is FacePass: a platform where your face is your ticket, your ID, and your pass — verified in 0.4 seconds.

Our Mission
"To make every event entry as seamless as walking through a door — with nothing but your face."
What We Stand For
These aren't marketing words — they're the decisions we make every day.
Privacy by Default
We never store your photo. Raw face images are discarded immediately. Only an encrypted, non-reversible mathematical hash is kept — and even that is yours to delete anytime.
Speed Over Everything
Every engineering decision is measured against one question: does it make the gate faster? 0.4 seconds is our bar. We optimize relentlessly to stay below it.
Fair to Organisers
The first 3 events are free — always. We only grow when organisers grow. Our pricing is transparent; no hidden fees, no surprise charges on event day.
No One Left Out
Every FacePass gate includes a manual backup lane. Technology should reduce friction, not create new gatekeepers. Our fallback paths are as fast as the AI lane.
Security Without Compromise
Liveness detection, anti-spoofing AI, and 256-bit encryption sit at the core of every scan. Speed without security is theater — we refuse to ship either one without the other.
Built for India, Built to Scale
India runs on UPI, 4G, and 1.4 billion people who deserve world-class event infrastructure. We've designed FacePass to work in Pune and scale to every city in the country.
