"There are significant tailwinds for TraqCheck’s value proposition. As the industry transitions to a gig workforce and on-demand human resources (eg in logistics, deliveries, etc), there will be a significantly higher demand for instant background verification services. Traditional background verification companies cannot do fast verification, which companies like TraqCheck using AI can do, additionally providing the much-needed identity solutions for the corporate world," said Prajakt Raut and Pankaj Bansal, Co-founders and Managing Partners of Caret Capital.  

Founded in 2021, TraqCheck utilises AI for employee background verification, helping organisations select candidates while hiring.

It currently serves over 200 clients, including Bajaj Capital, Cholamandalam Finance, Reliance Retail, Samvardhana Motherson, and Yatra.
