  • NPST CEO Deepak Chand Thakur and Infinity Infoway founder Bhavesh Gadhethariya explain how the model links identity credentials with controlled payment usage

    NPST CEO Deepak Chand Thakur and Infinity Infoway founder Bhavesh Gadhethariya

    Student and transport identification systems are beginning to take on an added operational role as payments become integrated into everyday institutional workflows. In this direction, Network People Services Technologies Limited (NPST) and Infinity Infoway Ltd have come together to convert student, employee, and driver ID cards into RuPay-enabled prepaid digital cards.
    The model brings payments directly into identity credentials already used across campuses and transport ecosystems. Under the arrangement, NPST’s RuPay-enabled TimePay prepaid card functionality is embedded within Infinity Infoway’s ERP-led operational framework. This allows ID cards issued by institutions to function as prepaid payment instruments, governed by predefined organisational rules rather than manual approvals.

    Infinity Infoway’s ERP systems manage identity issuance, access rights, role definitions, and policy enforcement across educational institutions and enterprises. NPST’s payment layer operates within these parameters, ensuring that spending limits, permitted locations, and transaction categories are controlled at a system level. As a result, payments occur only in line with institutional policies, enabling traceability, auditability, and compliance.
    For educational institutions, the integration allows prepaid payments to be used across approved on-campus services such as canteens, bookstores, and transport facilities. Parents or institutions can preload funds while maintaining visibility into usage, reducing reliance on cash handling and minimising misuse. Administrative and academic operations continue to be managed through the same ERP system, creating a single interface for identity, payments, and reporting.

    In transport and fleet operations, the model addresses long-standing challenges around cash advances and fuel expense management. Driver ID credentials can be configured for use only at authorised fuel stations or predefined expense categories, with transaction limits set according to operational policies. Digital transaction records support real-time reconciliation and strengthen cost control across fleets.
    According to Deepak Chand Thakur, embedding payments into identity credentials shifts the focus from standalone payment tools to real-world usability within institutions. He noted that the approach allows organisations to digitise routine transactions while retaining oversight and compliance.

    From Infinity Infoway’s perspective, Bhavesh Gadhethariya said the collaboration strengthens the ERP platform by extending it into payments, particularly within education and mobility ecosystems where identity already forms the backbone of operations.
    The solution will be rolled out in phases across India, beginning with controlled deployments in select educational institutions and enterprises, followed by wider adoption in line with regulatory guidelines. Together, NPST and Infinity Infoway are positioning identity-linked prepaid cards as a practical layer connecting operations, payments, and compliance across campuses and transport networks.

  • Practising difficult work conversations moves into a self-serve format with Enparadigm

    Co-founder and CTO Kumar Veetrag explains how Catalyx Go allows professionals to rehearse real workplace situations before they arise

    As workplaces place greater emphasis on communication, judgment, and decision making, professionals are increasingly expected to handle situations that cannot be learned through theory alone. Enparadigm has introduced a self-serve platform aimed at addressing this gap by allowing individuals and small teams to practise difficult workplace conversations and decisions before they occur.
    The platform, Catalyx Go, is designed around short, simulation-based exercises that mirror real work situations such as giving feedback, handling disagreement, navigating cross-functional issues, or preparing for client interactions. Rather than relying on static content, the experience centres on practice, asking users to respond to scenarios as they would in real time and then reviewing how those responses play out.

    According to Kumar Veetrag, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Enparadigm, the focus of the platform is on rehearsal rather than instruction. He said the company’s work over several years has shown that performance improves when people are given opportunities to practise decisions and conversations that closely resemble real work, instead of consuming generic learning material.
    Catalyx Go is built using conversation-based simulation technology that allows users to engage with scenarios in a low-risk setting. After each simulation, the platform provides structured feedback, helping users reflect on how they approached the situation and where adjustments could be made. This approach is intended to build confidence and readiness without the pressure of real-world consequences.

    Enparadigm has traditionally worked with large organisations to design simulation-led learning experiences across leadership, functional, and role-based capabilities. These simulations have been used for learning, assessment, and development across a wide range of industries. With Catalyx Go, the company is extending this practice-oriented model to individual professionals, managers, and smaller teams who may not have access to customised enterprise programmes.

    The self-serve nature of the platform allows users to engage with simulations on their own time, making it suitable for fast-moving work environments where preparation needs to be flexible. By focusing on situations that occur frequently but carry high stakes, the platform aims to support everyday readiness rather than episodic training.
    With Catalyx Go, Enparadigm is positioning practice as a core part of professional development, offering a way for people to prepare for the conversations and decisions that often shape outcomes at work but are rarely rehearsed in advance.

  • SafeCredits positions credit intelligence as a core operating layer for enterprises

    Founder and CEO Mannuri Vamshi Krishna explains how the platform brings credit risk, distributor performance, and collections into a single decision system

    As Indian enterprises scale across increasingly complex distributor and dealer ecosystems, credit risk is no longer a back office concern limited to finance teams. It has become a core business decision that directly affects growth, cash flows, and supply chain stability. SafeCredits is positioning itself at this intersection, offering a unified platform that treats credit intelligence as an operational layer rather than a reactive control mechanism.
    Launched at TiE Sangat 2026 in Hyderabad, the platform brings together corporate credit risk management, distributor performance tracking, and collections workflows within a single AI driven system. The launch, held in the presence of TiE Global founder Kanwal Rekhi, marked a milestone in SafeCredits’ effort to formalise credit governance across Indian supply chains.

    Built for large enterprises and fast growing SMEs, SafeCredits addresses a persistent challenge across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, FMCG, manufacturing, automotive, electronics, and B2B trade. Many of these industries rely heavily on trust based trade credit, fragmented distributor data, and manual follow ups, creating blind spots that often surface only when defaults occur. SafeCredits aims to close this gap by offering continuous visibility into credit health and distributor behaviour.
    At the heart of the platform is an AI driven credit intelligence engine that combines verified business profiling, automated KYC and business verification, creditworthiness assessment, and dynamic credit limit recommendations. These insights are continuously updated through real time monitoring of payment patterns and distributor performance, allowing enterprises to spot early warning signals before risks escalate.

    What differentiates the platform is its role based design. Sales, finance, credit, and collections teams access the same underlying data through interfaces tailored to their daily workflows. A personalised AI assistant functions as a virtual partner, guiding users on where to extend credit, when to tighten exposure, and how to prioritise follow ups. This approach shifts credit decisions from static rules to adaptive, context aware actions.
    Collections and receivables management are also embedded into the system. SafeCredits offers AI powered payment follow up bots, automated reminders, IVR calls, and structured escalation workflows designed to reduce days sales outstanding without relying on ad hoc manual interventions. Backend analytics track engagement and outcomes, enabling organisations to measure what actions actually improve recoveries.

    The platform’s origins are rooted in lived operational experience. Founder and CEO Mannuri Vamshi Krishna previously built Medvolant, a pharma procurement platform, followed by MedScore, a pharma focused credit intelligence product with a behaviour based scoring mechanism. As adoption grew, the team recognised that delayed payments and credit uncertainty were not sector specific issues but structural challenges across distribution led businesses. This insight led to the creation of SafeCredits as a sector agnostic platform.
    Currently working with more than 400 vendors and over 150 hospitals, SafeCredits is expanding beyond healthcare into FMCG, manufacturing, industrial supplies, logistics, and other B2B ecosystems. The platform is designed for rapid deployment, integrating with existing ERP systems in minutes rather than weeks, while eliminating paperwork and manual reconciliations.
    The company has raised ₹1.3 crore in funding, including support under the Samridh 2.0 programme by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology through the IIM Udaipur Incubation Centre. With this backing, SafeCredits is now seeking strategic partnerships with corporates, banks, NBFCs, ERP providers, and industry bodies to push credit intelligence closer to becoming a standard operating layer across India’s supply chains.
    As enterprises look to grow without exposing themselves to unchecked risk, platforms like SafeCredits reflect a broader shift in how credit is viewed not as a constraint on expansion, but as a structured enabler of sustainable business growth.
