Vision

The Founder

Dr. Sreeni TripuraneniChairman & CEO

4G Identity Solutions (4Gid) is established with an innovation in mind, passion and commitment to provide foolproof

and cost-effective biometric solutions to governments and corporates across the world. The founding vision of 4Gid

is to put the best of breed isolated biometric technologies of tomorrow to the service of the common man today by

introducing Multi-modal biometric based identity solutions. Biometric technologies are being used in fragmented

applications in Homeland Security and Law Enforcement since many years. 4Gid being a pioneer through its thought

leadership had initiated a transformation in usage of biometric solutions from its limited usage to advanced Multi-

modal end-to-end identity solutions in mainstream Civil ID programs.

4Gid logo aptly represents the founding vision. The orange color in the logo symbolizes the rising sun or dawn of new

generation of end-to-end identity solutions. The man in action in the logo is called ID-man and he points towards the

success or growth of these new generations of end-to-end identity solutions. The green color in the logo represents

the dollar green which means these new generations of end-to-end identity solutions shall result in huge savings to

the governments & corporates as they leverage biometric technologies to remove large number of duplicate and ghost

identities from the system.

4Gid owes its success and growth to the vision and untiring

efforts of its founder, a doctor turned entrepreneur

Dr. Sreeni Tripuraneni. Dr. Sreeni had a single minded

pursuit to make end-to-end identity solutions leveraging

Multi-modal biometric technologies as a tool that can be

used by governments for Civil ID to extend the benefits of

welfare programs to millions of deserving poor, a privilege

they were denied due to lack of a proper identity.

Under the stewardship of Dr. Sreeni Tripuraneni, an

able thought leader and architect of Identity Innovation,

4Gid has evolved from its inception as a thought based

company to a fully integrated end-to-end identity

management solutions enterprise encompassing a well

balanced business portfolio of solutions and services with

a special focus on Public Service Delivery Infrastructure

(PSDI). With a dedicated vision to benefit mankind on

a large scale, Dr. Sreeni assembled and motivated an

excellent team of professionals and led the company

to win and execute some of the world’s largest identity

projects.
