Staqu Technologies

Staqu Technologies is an artificial intelligence company founded in 2015 that specializes in transforming existing CCTV infrastructure into smart, analytical systems. The company was established by Atul Rai, Anurag Saini, and Pankaj Kumar Sharma, who combined their diverse expertise to address challenges in security and business analytics. Atul Rai, the CEO, has a background in AI and computer vision from the University of Manchester and prior research roles, providing the foundational vision for the company's focus. Co-founders Anurag Saini and Pankaj Kumar Sharma brought extensive experience in mobile application development and backend engineering from companies like Times Group, Zomato, and Google.

The firm's core business revolves around a B2B and B2G model, providing a proprietary AI platform as a service. Its flagship product, JARVIS, is a video and audio analytics platform that processes footage from standard CCTV cameras to deliver actionable, real-time insights without requiring new hardware. This software-based solution analyzes video streams to detect specific events, behaviors, and patterns, sending immediate alerts to users. Staqu's revenue is generated through customized solutions and platform access for its clients.

Staqu serves a wide array of clients across both the public and private sectors. In the public sector, it collaborates with numerous law enforcement agencies in India, including nine state police forces, providing tools for security and surveillance. A notable achievement is the development of the TRINETRA app for the Uttar Pradesh Police, which helps digitize criminal records and uses facial and voice recognition to identify suspects. The platform evolved into TRINETRA 2.0 with the introduction of Crime GPT, a generative AI tool that allows law enforcement to query a database of over 900,000 criminal records using natural language and voice commands. For its private sector clients in industries such as retail, manufacturing, hospitality, and infrastructure, JARVIS offers operational insights. Retailers like Raymond, Starbucks, and Porsche use the platform for footfall analysis, customer engagement tracking, and heat mapping to optimize store layouts and improve customer experiences.

The JARVIS platform is modular and offers a comprehensive suite of features. For security applications, it includes facial recognition, intrusion detection, violence detection, and automatic number plate recognition. The business intelligence module provides retailers with analytics on customer behavior, queue management, and staff productivity. By making existing surveillance systems intelligent, Staqu enables organizations to proactively address security threats and enhance operational efficiency.
