Two 23 year olds. A college campus. And an AI startup now inside some of India's biggest factories.
Naman and Aniket are the founders of Guardex, a computer vision startup that puts an AI layer on top of existing factory CCTV cameras to give owners real time alerts and reports on what's actually happening on their floor.
This is Episode 3 of Built@Masters' Union, a series where we document the real stories of student founders who are not waiting to graduate before they start building.
In this episode, Naman walks through how they went from a buggy first product, to surviving their first factory deployment, to a LinkedIn post that hit half a million views, to 150 factories on a waitlist and why they're still saying no to most of them.
This is not a success story. They will be the first to tell you they have not made it yet. But if you are building something in a market that doesn't trust you yet, this is the roadmap they wish they had when they started.
