Because every Indian deserves a free, instant fraud check before their hard-earned money disappears.
There was no way to get the money back. That moment stuck with me. I realised there was no simple tool for regular people to verify a QR code before they paid.
There was no app that worked in Hindi, Marathi, or Tamil. No app that worked when the internet was down. And certainly no app that actually respected user privacy.
So I built SatarkScan. Not as a company product, but as the tool I wished existed when my family needed it.
India's UPI ecosystem is incredible — but that scale has attracted a wave of scammers. In FY2024, the government recorded over 13 lakh fraud cases worth ₹1,087 crore. And that's only what got reported — 51% of victims never file a complaint at all.

We don't just say we respect your privacy — the app's architecture is literally built so no data can leave your device. It is a mathematical impossibility for us to track you.
SatarkScan does not have a backend database or API. There is nowhere for your scan data to go.
We do not use analytics or ad trackers. Analysis runs entirely on your phone's processor using ML Kit.
