About WiseIN
The company, the products, and the people building India's verified
professional future.
Built from a bedroom in Pittsburgh, PA.
WiseIN is a professional network where every member is verified through government ID. Aadhaar, Digilocker, PAN. No exceptions.
We don't have a billion users. We have 700+ verified humans who provide their identity. And we'd rather have that than a million question marks.
How it started
In 2024, Vanaparthi Santhosh, a product designer in Hyderabad, was tired of connecting with people online who weren't real. Fake profiles. Spam DMs. "CEOs" who turned out to be bots. He thought India has Aadhaar, 1.4 billion verified digital identities. What if a professional network used that? What if every member had to prove who they are before they could connect with anyone? No co-founder, No funding, Just a laptop and that one idea. WiseIN launched at a college hackathon in April 2025. 50 users showed up. Today there are 700+.
So we took a bold step to build a platform that says: "Trust first, network second." WiseIN was founded by a team of builders, dreamers, and tech professionals who believed in transparency, human connections and the power of real identity.
What makes WiseIN different
Every member is verified through Aadhaar, PAN, or Digilocker, Not self-reported, Government verified. You don't send DMs, You book a video call and talk face to face. After every call, AI writes your meeting summary, Key points, follow-ups, action items. Your inbox has zero spam. Because bots can't verify with a government ID. That's it, That's the difference.
Our goal is simple: create a space where professionals, startups, and creators connect with verified, credible individuals. On WiseIN, identity, security, and reputation aren't features, they're the foundation.
