CasteLens

CasteLens is a mobile + web app that helps institutions and individuals verify caste/community claims for contexts where it is legally required or materially relevant (e.g., reservation documentation checks, community-run trust eligibility, matrimonial background verification, or scholarship screening). It is not a “caste finder” toy; it’s a controlled verification workflow with consent, audit trails, and document-based evidence. Users submit claims and supporting documents; verifiers (approved org admins) review, request clarifications, and issue a time-bound verification token. The app includes a privacy-first vault, redaction tools, and a clear policy layer that blocks doxxing and prohibits public searchable caste directories. Realistically, adoption will be limited by sensitivity and regulation, so the product must be tightly scoped to legitimate verification use-cases and compliance. Monetization is B2B subscriptions for NGOs, trusts, schools, HR vendors, and legal services.
