A PERSONAL WORD

A note of thanks.

Thank you for getting to know us. Everything in them exists because a client, a partner or a colleague trusted us with a hard problem, and I am grateful to every one of them.

I started Nilesh AI Systems in Gurugram in late 2023 with one conviction: engineers deserve AI that understands the physical world as deeply as they do. When a model understands physics, inspection is quicker to set up and a digital twin becomes something you can trust.

We have always wanted to be a software company that serves other engineers. Our Wtr systems, and the products built on them, are how we keep that promise. When a client needs the complete system, we gladly design and deliver the machine as well.

At heart we are AI and cybersecurity researchers, and our work spans three practices that see, think and protect. The four technologies at the heart of our work run through all of them: world models inside machines and plants, virtual twins of whole sites, knowledge graphs beneath every enterprise system, and compliance tech that keeps it all safe. We keep hours that overlap with our friends in the United States, so nobody is left waiting.

If anything here sparks an idea, I would genuinely love to hear from you.

With gratitude,
Nilesh Khetrapal

WHO WE ARE

AI and cybersecurity researchers who see, think and protect.

Nilesh AI Systems Pvt Ltd is a Gurugram-based team of AI and cybersecurity researchers, backed by hundreds of engineers we can bring in as soon as a project needs them. Under the Sftwtrs.AI brand we build physical AI systems, knowledge graph platforms and the security that keeps both safe, then put them to work at plant and enterprise scale.

INSIDE OUR LABS

The research behind every product.

We spend our days on problems most teams only read about: models that understand the physical world, reasoning that proves itself consistent, and security for AI itself.

Six areas we are pushing forward

SEE
World models
Wtr systems turn every camera into embeddings, so a new part is configured rather than retrained.
POWERS WTR TINY TO PRIME
SEE
LiDAR and 3D sensing
Point clouds fused with images for measurement, safety zones around cranes and as-built checks against CAD.
POWERS SCAN-TO-TWIN, PLANT SAFETY
THINK
Sheaf-theoretic reasoning
Sheaf cohomology checks that every camera, source and fact agrees before a verdict or an answer is given.
POWERS WTR.INSPECT, WTRDB
THINK
Gaussian Splatting twins
Photoreal twins rebuilt from a camera walk, streamed region by region to a browser or a VR headset.
POWERS WTR.SCENE
THINK
Governed AI agents
Agents that reason over a knowledge graph and pass a policy engine before every action they take.
POWERS WTROSPAI
PROTECT
AI security posture
An engine that maps models, data and agents across your cloud and finds the risky paths between them.
POWERS AI SECURITY, WTR.AEGIS
