Presear Softwares builds a sovereign AI stack for Indian enterprises, including DeepQuery Engine and IndiCompute Cloud

What happened

The details

  • Presear Softwares builds a sovereign AI stack for Indian enterprises, meaning AI infrastructure owned and operated in India.
  • Founder Abhijit Tripathy started the company in 2019 from the GGV Incubation Centre at Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya in Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh.
