Who We Are

Ours is a story of ‘patterns’; of apparently disjoint events, which when strung together form an incredible pattern. For over two decades, these events have occurred with a purpose, one naturally leading to the other

Our Story

Technology & Science Keeps Us Busy

We have diverse interests and are always clued in to our pet subjects – Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics, Logic and Technology, Probability, Set Theory, Statistics, Psychology and Sociology. We are also deeply influenced by books like Blink, The Wisdom of Crowds, Tipping Point, Outliers, Freakonomics and Fooled by Randomness. We figured the best way to be connected to these passions with like-minded people was to turn our collective passion into a business – more specifically a product which can blend these disparate fields into fine art! We even incorporate insights from marketing psychology, sociology and set theory in our product design.

Our Vision

Deliver ‘Human like’ Real-time, Cross Channel Intelligence

We are making products that are more human like – intuitive, contextual, able to work with partial information, thinking learning inferring, and most importantly, functions in real-time. i.e. more of right brain software. Contrast this with today’s transaction oriented left brained approaches, which is causing huge disconnects across the end-customer spectrum. People are craving for the human touch (like in the good old days), where a customer could end every interaction with the satisfaction that she has interacted with her pal. We also make organizations ‘predictable’ in real-time across their core functions. We felt that this is a tough problem to crack, a problem which can keep us passionately busy for a long time, which will require us to blend multiple sciences together to make our journey into unchartered territory.
