Proximus Global and Aakash Educational Services Limited have announced the rollout of silent verification powered by the Konera API Platform across India. The deployment modernises student onboarding by verifying users directly through the mobile network, eliminating reliance on SMS-based One Time Passcodes.
Why Silent Verification Matters
Traditional OTPs face coverage limitations and delivery delays, resulting in a 2-3% failure rate that puts remote and rural students at a disadvantage. Silent authentication bypasses this entirely, verifying the user in the backend of the network without requiring any input from the student.
Digital access is critical in India's education landscape, with online channels now responsible for 62% of student enrolments. Silent verification ensures students register quickly and confidently, regardless of device, operator, or region.
As part of our mission to make access to education and coaching across India easy and fair, we are always looking to evolve and improve our digital experiences. This partnership with Proximus Global means our authentication now uses the most advanced methods available.
Konera: The Network API Platform
Konera, launched in October 2025, provides enterprises with a unified interface to access secure, operator-powered capabilities. By exposing verification signals sourced directly from mobile networks, the platform helps organisations strengthen onboarding flows, reduce fraud, and deliver trusted digital interactions.
Silent verification is a transformative step for digital identity assurance in India. By shifting identity validation to the network layer, organisations can deliver a more dependable onboarding experience.
