सेतु · Sethu means "Bridge" in Sanskrit
AI-powered face matching, age progression across 30 years, consent-first reunion, and zero-document access for India's most vulnerable missing persons.
Every feature below calls Claude in real time. These are not mocked responses.
Lost at age 9, searching at 35? Describe the person's last known appearance and SETHU's AI generates how they likely look today — decade by decade.
SETHU's AI checks every report for predator patterns — organ traffickers, loan sharks, abusive families, bonded labour contractors — before any match is shared.
A citizen spotted someone. SETHU cross-matches the description against case files — accounting for age gap, location, dialect — and gives a confidence score.
Hospital has an unidentified person. SETHU extracts origin clues from dialect, behaviour, and physical markers — creating a searchable profile when there's no name.

Face AI fails for babies — so SETHU uses biology, not vision
Newborn footprints are unique like fingerprints. Every hospital already takes them. SETHU digitises and stores them as permanent biological identifiers — matching works even 20 years later.
India's newborn screening already does heel prick tests. SETHU stores a DNA match hash (not the DNA itself) creating a lifelong identity from day one with parent consent.
Tamper-proof QR at birth linked to mother's Aadhaar, birth time, blood type, footprint. Mother scans before leaving hospital. Prevents baby switching before it happens.
Fresh newborn kidnapping? Immediate broadcast to all phones in the area. Hospital CCTV AI-analysed. Railway and bus station alerts within 4 hours. 72-hour window is critical.
The mother doesn't even know to file a report. SETHU addresses this with a hospital staff whistleblower button — allowing nurses to anonymously flag suspicious "stillbirths." No algorithm can solve what only a human witness can report.
