Safety solutions provider <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=betterplace" target="_blank">BetterPlace Safety Solutions</a> has secured an undisclosed amount of funding from Venture Highway, the company said in a statement.
Co-founded in 2015 by chief executive officer of SIS Group, Uday Singh, and former global head of cloud ERP at SAP, Pravin Agarwala, BetterPlace carries out background verification for new hires, with a focus on the blue-collar workers in the logistics and hyperlocal services space.
“India is at a very interesting cross road where we are seeing massive migration across states, growth of the services sector to a point where it today employs more people than any other segment along with increased smart phone penetration thereby enabling the possibility of large scale digitization. These trends enable us to continue to build trust profiles on top of the Aadhaar platform,&#8221; said Pravin Agarwala.
In February this year, the company had raised $1 million from <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=Unitus+Seed+Fund" target="_blank">Unitus Seed Fund</a>.

Launched in March this year by Abhilash Pandey and Sandeep Singh, InfiSecure is a robust bot protection platform that sanitizes a website’s traffic and improves business metrics using a 24&#215;7 active SaaS solution.
“There cannot be a more relevant time for InfiSecure’s bot protection platform than now, when bots constitute more than half of the global internet traffic.
