About / the human behind the ops

Nitish. The engineer founders call when they need something that actually ships.

Ten-plus years taking products from zero to one across defence, fintech, medtech, climate tech, forensics, IoT, and generative AI. £2M+ funding enabled for clients. 99.9% uptime on production AI in environments where compliance has teeth.

Why Indica Tech exists

80% of AI projects never ship. Not because the tech is broken. Because nobody translates between the founder who pitched the idea and the engineer who has to make it work at 3am. That translator is what I do for a living.

I started Indica Technology Ltd after a decade in product engineering roles where the pattern repeated: brilliant demo, excited investors, confident CTO, six months of "we are almost there," and then a quiet project death. The teams were not unintelligent. They were missing the specific set of production practices that turn a working demo into a system that survives users. I started writing those practices down in 2020 and built the business around delivering them.

Where I have shipped

AI / ML platforms, IoT and digital twins, geospatial and satellite pipelines, multi-agent LLM architectures, enterprise SaaS, real-time analytics — from edge devices in sub-zero climates to petabyte-scale cloud infrastructure. The hard stuff: defence, forensics, medical devices, critical infrastructure. If an AI system can ship inside ISO 17025 or UKAS accreditation, it can ship for you.

The numbers

  • £2M+ in client funding enabled — Innovate UK grants and private investment.
  • 99.9% uptime on production AI across regulated clients, measured not projected.
  • 60% processing-time reduction on an AI pipeline deployed in a regulated forensics lab.
  • 15+ engineers hired and led from zero across two startups.
  • 30+ AI projects shipped to production across seven sectors.

Credentials, for the procurement team

  • PRINCE2 certified — because if I am charging your procurement team £45,000 they want to know I can run a structured engagement.
  • ISO 9001 Auditor — I can talk to your regulator without a translator in the room.
  • MassChallenge Switzerland finalist — top 12 of 150+ companies, climate tech cohort.
  • National Startup Awards winner (UK) — for the award-winning climate tech startup I helped build as technical lead.
  • Invited conference speaker on AI in regulated industries.

The principles

I publish more than I bill. Every week a short video breakdown at @demotoprod — the retry patterns, the cost traps, the eval metrics that actually matter, the reasons your pilot did not make it. The idea is that by the time a prospect gets on a call, they already know how I think.

Inside engagements the principles are the same. Fixed scope, fixed price, weekly demos, code in your repo, runbooks at handover, 30-day production warranty. No T&M, no slide hours, no pyramid of account managers between you and the code. If we are not a fit on the discovery call I will say so and refer you on.
