AI Video Deepfake Detection and Content Moderation Service
The Opportunity
The article reveals that police are actively booking 65+ people for sharing AI-morphed obscene videos, indicating a massive enforcement gap. Schools, social media platforms, and law enforcement agencies desperately need tools to detect and block deepfake content before it spreads — but no local Indian service exists to help them identify and report these videos at scale.

Set up a basic web dashboard using no-code tools (Airtable + Zapier or Bubble) that allows users to upload suspect videos and get a manual review report within 24 hours. Build a simple pricing page.
Hire 2-3 part-time college students as content moderators. Train them on deepfake indicators (facial distortions, audio sync issues, unnatural blinking). Start manual review operations.
Launch a pilot with 3 schools or 1 college at ₹5,000/month. Collect feedback, document case studies, and refine your process. Simultaneously reach out to 20 more schools to schedule demos.
