India's Defense Sector Boost with Advanced Biometric System

India's defense, law enforcement, and other agencies are on the verge of getting a cutting-edge authentication system that combines facial recognition with gait analysis. The software solution, named Divya Drishti, was created by Ingenious Research Solutions, a startup backed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), an agency tasked with military research and development. 

  The company, based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, claims that its solution enhances the accuracy of identification thanks to its dual approach. Divya Drishti, which means “divine sight” in Sanskrit, is aimed at defense, law enforcement, corporate, and public infrastructure organizations. 

  Shivani Verma, the founder of Ingenious Research Solutions, is a winner of the Dare to Dream 2.0, a pan-Indian contest innovation competition organized by DRDO. The agency has been making headway into AI research by collaborating with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar on AI-driven surveillance projects. 

  The development of Divya Drishti under the Technology Development Fund (TDF) is a successful example of DRDO's ability to promote startups in the defense and aerospace industry to achieve the vision of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” – a self-reliant India. 

  Aside from the authentication system, Ingenious Research Solutions has also developed a facial recognition system called Divya Netra, an unmanned ground vehicle, a satellite image analysis system, a drone detection and tracking system, and other products. 

  DRDO backed the development of a facial recognition system to identify people despite occlusions like face masks, as revealed in 2022.
