Origin Story

We met 15 years ago in a mathematics coaching center in Patiala, India. The same obsession with problem-solving that got us through IIT now drives our approach to narrative intelligence.

This combination—technical depth plus creative intuition—lets us see what others miss: the creation process matters more than the output.

Our Vision

Two builders with complementary obsessions: The only team that sees narrative intelligence as the missing piece of AGI.

An agent that learns how humans construct narratives has learned how humans think. That cognitive capability transfers everywhere—negotiation, strategy, code, science.
