Deepvue is building the decisioning layer for AI agents — starting with identity, risk, and fraud infrastructure on India Stack. We solved data access. Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker, India Stack — the rails are world-class. But turning that data into high-stakes decisions still takes teams, manual reviews, and stitched-together vendor stacks. That's an industry-wide bottleneck. And it gets harder as fraud grows more sophisticated and regulation demands more transparency. The answer isn't more people. It's a stack that automates the decision and explains it — every layer, every time. Four layers deep: - Infrastructure (Live) — Connect to every data source in India, one integration. - Intelligence (Private Beta) — Turn raw data into signals that mean something. - Decisioning (Coming Soon) — Encode human judgment into rules that run themselves. - AI Agents (On the Horizon) — Systems that observe, decide, and explain without waiting for a human. Autonomy — without a black box. Today, we power API Infrastructure via 50+ API integrations across identity, business, document, face, banking, credit, and employment — serving 60+ businesses across 15M+ decisions. Trusted by India's fastest-growing FinTechs & Platforms. ISO 27001 certified. DPDP Ready. Backed by 100X.VC.

We are on a mission to give every business owner a world-class finance team for less than it costs to hire one person. We believe finance should feel instant, proactive, and omniscient, not like a back office that just manages repetitive tasks. AI has crossed a threshold in 2025. It can not only take on the repetitive work of accounting, but also proactively help executives make decisions. When information is clear and available in real time, teams can act with more confidence and fewer surprises. AI is a thought partner that's there to help. We combine AI, software, and experienced finance and accounting teams into a single function that helps businesses grow faster and more profitably.

We're here to change the way people use insurance - safely, compliantly, and on their terms. AI is increasingly where people turn to handle things like insurance. They’re complex products, with real life relevancy, and they’re often not explained well by their providers. That’s great in principle, but it creates real problems for insurers, customers, and regulators - a lot of the machinery that exists around agents today is simply not built for regulated products. Marrow is building the platform that fixes that: the compliance-grade infrastructure that every AI insurance agent runs on. We're live with Aviva, one of the UK's largest carriers, and building a pipeline across the UK and Europe. We’re on the path to regulated status in our own right, are VC-backed, and have a small team that's moved faster than most companies ten times our size. Off the back of a recent fundraise, we’re hiring a small number of high-leverage roles to help us move forward in leaps and bounds.
