We would rather ask once too often on an admin action than be quiet about a risk. We also say plainly what we have not done yet.
Our purpose
Identity, done carefully and calmly.
AuthMantra makes signing in at work safe, quick and unremarkable, so Indian organisations need no identity team first.
Built for India
Data in Mumbai, rupee invoices, the DPDP Act in mind from day one.

Indian organisations should not need to adapt themselves to a product built for somewhere else. You can also call a team in Bengaluru.
Simple for people
One sign-in. A touch instead of a password. A console IT can understand.

Most people meet identity as friction. A good system is nearly invisible, and an IT lead can run it without a week of training.
Open standards
SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM 2.0 and WebAuthn, so you are not locked in.

Standards mean your applications, your data and your people are not tied to us, and any engineer can inspect how it works.
The name
Why AuthMantra
A mantra is a short phrase, repeated until it is dependable. Identity should be done the same way: small, careful, every time.
Read the longer version
Authentication is a small act, but it happens many times a day for every person in an organisation, and one careless repetition is how things go wrong. Most identity failures are not clever attacks. They are an account that was never switched off, a code typed into the wrong page, a permission nobody reviewed.
So the name is a promise about habit: the same steady process on the thousandth sign-in as on the first. We are a small company, and we know that promise is earned each day, not claimed once.
- Auth
- Authentication: proving who you are.
