# Saandru · Certificon by Gemscorp

> Saandru is a certificate issuing and verification platform, Certificon by Gemscorp (India). Organisations design a certificate template, upload a CSV of recipients, and Saandru generates a PDF certificate for each row, emails it, and adds a QR code that opens a public verification page at certificon.gemscorp.app/verify/<certificate-id>. Each record is signed with HMAC-SHA256, so an edited PDF no longer matches the record its QR code opens.
