ABOUT PALMPASS

Building identity infrastructure for a connected physical world.

PalmPass is an early-stage deep-tech startup developing palm-based biometric identity and authentication infrastructure that integrates natively with existing digital systems.

OUR MISSION

An interoperable palm-based identity layer that works with the systems organizations already use.

We believe that physical identity verification should be effortless, secure, and respectful of personal privacy. Rather than building closed-loop consumer apps or forcing organizations to replace their software, PalmPass provides the missing authentication bridge connecting human hands to enterprise databases, universities, and point-of-sale systems.

ENGINEERING VALUES

Principles that guide our technology development.

Building foundational infrastructure demands high standards of transparency, privacy, and rigor.

PRINCIPLE 01

Radical Engineering Honesty

We clearly state what is built today in our working MVP versus what is in production development. We do not make unsupported accuracy claims or market vaporware.

PRINCIPLE 02

Privacy by Design

Biometrics must protect the individual first. We build on mathematical irreversibility, ephemeral tokens, zero persistent image retention, and explicit user consent.

PRINCIPLE 03

Interoperability Over Walled Gardens

PalmPass is an infrastructure layer. We do not seek to displace your ERP, LMS, or payment gateway — we provide the high-assurance identity signal that makes them better.

PRINCIPLE 04

Deep-Tech Rigor

From multi-region optical feature extraction to custom liveness neural networks, we build indigenous technology from foundational biometric and computer vision principles.

LEADERSHIP

Founded by Lankeshwar

Founder & Lead Architect

PalmPass was founded by Lankeshwar with the ambition to build sovereign, deep-tech palm identity infrastructure. Developing from initial algorithms to a working two-device software prototype, Lankeshwar leads the technology vision and architecture moving towards dedicated capture hardware and institutional pilot deployments.

STAGE 01 → STAGE 02 TRANSITION

Early-Stage Prototype & Internal Validation

PalmPass is currently in active technology development. We have validated our software prototype through internal testing (~2,000 scans across 10 participants with zero observed false acceptances). We are now engineering dedicated capture hardware and selecting forward-thinking academic and enterprise partners for structured pilot evaluations.
