The 5-second security check that spots more than just metal

As millions of passengers pass through airports, metro stations, and other high-security public spaces every day, the challenge for security agencies is no longer limited to detecting guns, bullets, or metallic weapons. Threats are increasingly taking newer forms—from plastic-based weapons and explosives to organic and gel-based materials that can evade conventional screening systems. Against this backdrop, Vehant Technologies, a deep-tech company incubated at IIT Delhi, has unveiled MilliView, which the company claims is India’s first indigenous Millimetre-Wave (MMWave) Body Scanner capable of detecting concealed non-metallic threats.

Founded in 2005 by Kapil Bardeja and Anoop G Prabhu, the Noida-headquartered company has emerged as one of India's leading indigenous security technology companies. Its solutions are currently deployed across over 115 airports, multiple transportation hubs, and over 80 smart cities. Notably, the company reported a revenue of around Rs 193 crore in FY26, reflecting its growing presence in India's security ecosystem.
