APNA Safety achieved strong results in its pilot in August and September 2025. More than 146,000 recruits were verified through artificial intelligence checks, which led to a 45 % decrease in fraud to job researchers. Within two months, safety related complaints on the APNA’s Play Store menu decreased by 60 percent, and the application reached a rating of 4.7 in the Play Store, the highest level among job platforms in India.
