Overview

Mohak Nahta, the Founder and CEO of Atlys, has recently revealed Skylane, a business-to-government (B2G) solution designed to revamp the traditional visa processing systems.

Features of Skylane

Skylane aims to address significant inefficiencies that plague traditional visa workflows. The solution replaces laborious manual protocols with seamless, data-centric systems.

While Atlys has greatly improved visa applications for individuals, Skylane is geared towards solving backend challenges for government agencies, promising faster and more secure visa approvals.

How Skylane Works

Upon submission of a visa request, Skylane utilizes AI technology to create a structured risk profile, akin to a bank’s credit score. This profile aggregates verified identities and crucial documentation, enabling consular officials to have a precise, data-informed evaluation.

By processing applications electronically, Skylane discards the necessity for physical documentation. Notably, the introduction of SkyPods—24/7 digital visa submission centers—allows travelers to finalize biometric submissions and passport verification in less than five minutes. This significantly expedites the overall process making it accessible.

A Vision for the Future

“I set out with a bold vision to make the Indian passport one of the world’s strongest,” said Mohak Nahta, emphasizing Skylane’s potential to revolutionize visa infrastructures for governments. “With Skylane, we’re rethinking the entire visa processing framework. This evolution is geared towards a future where visas might receive approval within mere hours rather than weeks.”

Most importantly, outdated visa systems disrupt countless travel plans annually, leading to delays. Skylane’s digital approach allows for electronic processing and quick decision-making, ultimately fostering a smoother experience for both travelers and government agencies.

Pilot Projects

As of now, various governments are piloting Skylane, showcasing its capability to fulfill increasing global travel needs without compromising promptness or security.

This innovative platform allows consular officers to impressively enhance their efficiency by automatically managing routine tasks, ensuring they can concentrate on more complex scenarios, effectively contributing to decision-making quality.

By adopting methods such as paperless visa applications and utilizing reusable biometrics—a practice already in progress in countries like the UK—Skylane is at the forefront of modernized visa processing solutions.
