Indian Railways Verifies 1.2 Million Workers With TruFace AI by ChainCode on Billions Network

BILL ·

India's largest employer is bringing AI verification to 1.2 million railway workers, 7,300 stations, and 18 zones. Powered by Billions Network and ChainCode Consulting. Indian Railways has begun deploying TruFace, an AI-powered workforce verification system, across its 1.2 million employees. The system has been architected and developed end-to-end by ChainCode Consulting LLP, with Billions Network enabling privacy-preserving human and AI verification, while the Aptos blockchain powers immutable and tamper-proof attendance records. The rollout begins in Prayagraj and expands across 7,300 stations and 18 zones nationwide - one of the largest workforce verification deployments in the world. Indian Railways is the 9th largest employer in the world. 1.2 million workers. 7,300 stations. 18 zones. Operating across cities, rural towns, and remote stretches of track where reliable internet is not guaranteed. A workforce this large and geographically distributed has historically been vulnerable to ghost employee fraud. Funds budgeted for workers who were never present. Traditional verification methods - paper logs, biometric kiosks, supervisor sign-offs - break down at this scale, especially where connectivity is unreliable and oversight is distributed across thousands of sites. The problem is not unique to railways. Every large institution managing a distributed workforce faces the same question: how do you verify, fairly and accurately, who actually shows up to work - without compromising privacy or requiring constant internet access? TruFace uses facial recognition to confirm worker attendance, records every verification on a tamper-proof blockchain ledger, and runs fully offline. A single group photograph verifies an entire team at once. The rollout is across Indian Railways, beginning with operations in Prayagraj. The first regional deployment is expected to complete within three months, with expansion across the wider network to follow. TruFace was developed end-to-end by ChainCode Consulting - the same team behind the Blockchain-Based Ticketing (NFT Ticketing) initiative for MahaKumbh 2025 and multiple Indian government projects.

A supervisor takes a group photo. TruFace identifies each worker, logs attendance against the assigned schedule, and writes the record to the Aptos blockchain - permanent and unalterable. Beyond attendance, the platform handles supervisor approvals, leave management, task allocation, and real-time reporting dashboards. It operates fully offline, essential for railway operations in areas where connectivity is unreliable or unavailable.

Strategic partnerships include BlackRock, Google, Mastercard, and Franklin Templeton. https://aptosnetwork.com/ Note: The demo features earlier TruFace branding. TruFace is the same application now deployed as DRISHTI for Indian Railways. Scale of validation. A 1.2 million-person rollout under a government mandate is not a pilot. It is operational adoption at nation-state scale, in one of the most logistically demanding workforces in the world. Proven economics. The same underlying technology has previously cut ghost employee fraud by 90%, reduced payroll costs by 30 to 40 percent, and halved payment delays. Indian Railways brings those proven outcomes to a high-profile, fully auditable use case. A partner-led growth model. ChainCode owns implementation. Billions provides the verification layer underneath. Every contract ChainCode delivers becomes a reference for the next. This is how the model scales without Billions shipping every deployment directly. Built for environments others cannot serve. TruFace runs offline, produces tamper-proof records, and verifies multiple workers from a single image. These are requirements that conventional identity infrastructure was not designed to meet. Evin McMullen, CEO and Co-Founder, Billions Network Billions Network is the first Human and AI verification network - built on mobile-first, privacy-preserving zero-knowledge technology to scale trust in the age of AI. Created by the founders of Disco.xyz, Hermez, and Polygon. 2M+ verified users. Backed by Polychain, Coinbase Ventures, Liberty City Ventures, and BITKRAFT. https://billions.network/ India is building public infrastructure at a scale the rest of the world will study. MahaKumbh 2025 ran on verification infrastructure from the same partner. Indian Railways is the next chapter. Adjacent sectors - public services, government workforce systems, large-scale industrial operations - face the same verification challenges and the same solution applies. Our path forward: enabling partners to deliver privacy-preserving verification at nation-state scale, embedded into the institutions that move countries. Updates will follow as the TruFace rollout expands across additional zones and new deployments come online.
