What CARE4SIGN SAFETEC LIMITED ( Certifying Authority) does

Care4Sign Safetec Limited is a Bengaluru-headquartered, CCA India-licensed Certifying Authority incorporated in 2021 that issues Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and operates an eSign electronic signature service under the Information Technology Act, 2000. The company builds on PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) technology with Hardware Security Module (HSM) and Enterprise Key Management components, and supports a broad set of hardware token formats (ePass, ProxKey, SafeNet, mToken, Gemalto) for certificate storage. Its product portfolio has expanded beyond DSC issuance into adjacent offerings including Multi-Factor Authentication, Data Encryption Solutions, Document Signer, SSL Certificates, and an eSign API that enables Application Service Providers to embed signing into their applications. Customers span Indian central and state government departments (Income Tax, MCA, GST, DGFT, EPFO, IRCTC, eProcurement, CBSE/AICTE), banks, educational institutions, and corporate enterprises requiring digital signatures for e-filing, e-tendering, and e-governance.

The company operates a Public Limited Company structure (CIN U72900KA2021PLC153672) without a stock exchange listing, generating revenue from one-time DSC issuance and renewal fees, transaction-based eSign API usage, subscription/MFA licensing, and managed services for data encryption. Its go-to-market combines a direct self-serve eKYC online sales channel with four regional sales offices (West, South, East, North India), a 'Become a Partner' reseller channel program, and embedded/OEM distribution via the eSign API. Customer support is delivered through dedicated regional phone lines, a grievance officer, and a WhatsApp channel. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, or awards are disclosed, and the leadership team (CEO Nachiketa Mohapatra, COO Saket Suman, Director Somu Kakrecha) maintains concurrent senior roles at affiliated entities including Certenet Technologies Pvt Ltd and Corna Infra Limited, from which Care4Sign draws inherited PKI, HSM, and SSL expertise.
