An IGM Initiative
Redefining Gold Verification Through Intelligence
GoldSense™ combines advanced sensing technology with AI-powered software to transform gold verification into a faster, standardized, and data-driven process.
What is GoldSense?
Intelligent Verification. Built for Trust.
GoldSense™ is IGM's flagship enterprise solution for intelligent gold verification, designed to bring greater transparency, consistency, and confidence to institutional gold evaluation. As a portable, AI-powered digital karatometer, GoldSense™ is designed to redefine gold purity testing.
Non-Destructive Testing
Analyse gold without damaging the asset.
Connected Verification
Create digital records and audit-ready workflows.
Gold deserves a smarter way to be verified
Traditional gold verification often relies on surface-level assessment, manual intervention and processes that can vary across locations. GoldSense™ brings advanced non-destructive analysis to examine both surface and sub-surface characteristics of gold [up to 14 mm of composite material depth across two assessments (7 mm + 7 mm)]. It uses greater intelligence and technological precision for purity assessment without damaging the ornament or asset being tested.
GoldSense™
AI-Powered Digital KaratometerAssessment Depth & PurityOne assessment of up to 7 mm from one side and a second assessment of up to 7 mm from the other side, enabling a combined assessment of up to 14,000 microns of composite material. This provides a comprehensive purity assessment across surface and sub-surface material while preserving the jewellery during verification.

DeploymentEasy deployment across branches, stores, and locations.
On-Site VerificationEnables gold verification at the point of assessment, wherever the gold is.
InvestmentAffordable investment per counter, enabling scalability across multiple locations.
Ease of OperationSimple to operate, with no specialised training required.
XRF Karatometer
Assessment Depth & PuritySurface-level analysis is limited to 20 microns (thinner than a strand of hair), and may not reveal variations in composition beneath the surface.
AnalysisX-ray fluorescence-based analysis.
Radiation & LicensingUses an X-ray radiation source, is subject to applicable radiation safety and regulatory requirements, and requires the necessary registration or AERB licence.
Design & PortabilityBulky, immobile setup.
Digital ConnectivityResults are not instant and are accessed through the machine's integrated interface.
Data & Device SecurityData protection depends on the manufacturer's system architecture and configuration.
Environmental DependenceReadings can be influenced by operating conditions like temperature & humidity.
DeploymentRequires greater infrastructure and a dedicated equipment setup with a dedicated PC.
On-Site VerificationBench-mounted unit, typically operated from a dedicated backroom or testing area.
InvestmentHigher upfront capital investment, with limited scalability for a technology focused on surface-level assessment.
Ease of OperationRequires training to operate and handle the equipment.
Why GoldSense?
Why GoldSense?
GoldSense™ helps institutions move beyond conventional gold testing by combining artificial intelligence with digital testing. It makes gold assessment faster, smarter, deeper and more accessible.
Its portable form factor is designed to take gold testing closer to the point of transaction where purity assessment is critical. This is particularly relevant in areas such as gold lending, where accurate purity assessment can influence valuation, lending decisions and risk management.
GoldSense™ represents an attempt to move gold testing towards a smarter, more portable and technology-driven future.

FAQ
Here's what makes GoldSense the future of gold in India.
What is GoldSense™?
GoldSense™ is a portable, AI-powered digital karatometer designed for ease and accuracy in gold purity testing. GoldSense™ uses advanced non-destructive analysis to examine both surface and sub-surface characteristics of gold.
How does GoldSense™ test gold without melting or scraping it?
GoldSense™ uses conduction-based probing to read gold purity internally — no acid, pinching, scooping, or melting. The jewellery keeps its original form and weight, with zero gold loss.
Can GoldSense™ detect gold-plated or fake jewellery?
Yes. GoldSense™ analyses up to 14 mm of composite material depth across two assessments (7 mm + 7 mm), exposing gold plating, hollow pieces, and hidden alloy cores that surface-only XRF tests (0.1–0.3mm depth) routinely miss.
Is GoldSense™ safe? Does it emit radiation?
GoldSense™ is 100% radiation-free. It needs no AERB certification, shielding, or dosimeters required for XRF machines, making it safe for daily counter-side and doorstep use.
GoldSense™ vs XRF karatometer — which is better?
GoldSense™ tests up to 14 mm of composite material depth across two assessments (7 mm + 7 mm) vs XRF’s 0.1–0.3mm surface read, is handheld vs bench-top, radiation-free vs AERB-regulated, and costs far less than an XRF unit’s ₹12–35 lakh price.
How is GoldSense™ different from touchstone gold testing?
Touchstone testing is manual, inaccurate, and causes gold scraping loss. GoldSense™ delivers objective AI-certified readings with a time-stamped digital report and zero gold loss.
Why do XRF machines miss deep-core gold fraud?
XRF reads only the top 0.1–0.3mm of metal, so a genuine gold layer over a tungsten or copper core can pass. GoldSense™ reads 7mm per side depth XRF cannot reach.
Who should use GoldSense™?
Gold loan companies, NBFCs, banks, jewellery chains, and old gold buyers for counter purity checks, RBI-grade loan collateral verification, branch audits, and doorstep gold evaluation.
How much does GoldSense™ cost compared to an XRF machine?
XRF karatometers cost ₹12–35 lakh per unit. GoldSense™ is priced significantly lower, making one-device-per-branch, even per-salesman deployment, viable. Contact IGM at igmindia.com for pricing.
Do I get a gold purity certificate from GoldSense™?
Yes. Every test produces an AI-certified, time-stamped digital purity report, instantly shareable via WhatsApp or email — valid proof for gold exchange, loans, audits, and insurance.
How does GoldSense™ help with a loan against gold jewellery?
IGM connects borrowers with RBI-authorised NBFCs and banks. Your gold is tested in your presence on GoldSense™, video-recorded, giving lenders RBI-grade purity assurance and you a fair valuation.
Is GoldSense™ accurate enough for RBI-compliant gold loan appraisal?
Yes. Its 7mm penetration meets and exceeds RBI-grade purity verification standards, and every assessment creates a digital, time-stamped audit trail for compliance documentation.
Why is purity fraud a big problem in India’s gold loan market?
India’s ₹24 lakh crore gold loan market is only 32–37% organised. Surface tests and touchstone methods miss plating fraud. GoldSense™ makes deep, standardised testing affordable at every branch.
How does GoldSense™ build customer trust in-store?
Jewellers run a live purity demonstration on any piece before purchase, then share instant digital certification — a visible trust signal no XRF-equipped competitor can match.
Can GoldSense™ audit gold inventory across branches?
Yes. Its low cost and handheld design enable periodic AI-certified inventory audits at every branch, creating a documented purity compliance chain for insurance and institutional verification.
