Diplogrados Ltda, prints about 200,000+ diplomas for universities each semester in addition to other documents.

Currently, eMudhra is providing emSigner to one of the largest private sector universities in the region with a strength of 13,000 students and the idea is to issue diplomas to all of them. To meet this requirement, eMudhra has customized its emSigner to the new market, making it available in Spanish with specific technologies built as an add-on to the original platform to minimize diploma frauds in the region.

On this expansion, Arvind Srinivasan, Head of Global Markets, eMudhra Ltd said, “We are in a phase of growth where we are focusing largely on two areas, Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity. Hence we are looking at addressing the need to develop solutions around Document Fraud Mitigation. With our secure paperless transformation solution, emSigner, today we are offering e-diplomas to address the key issue of diploma frauds. We spotted a market for this kind of solution in education sector, especially in the LATAM region so we decided to focus on the Education Sector and help educational institutes minimize diploma frauds and 100% digitize the diploma issuance and authentication process.”

V Srinivasan, Founder Chairman, eMudhra Ltd said, “Our entry in LATAM region marks a significant milestone in terms of progress in driving the agenda of digital transformation beyond India.
