About

Visual intelligence for Indian factories.

Founded in Chennai. We build AI software that turns existing CCTV cameras into intelligent safety systems — no cloud, no new hardware.

Indian factories have cameras everywhere. What they lack is intelligence the ability to understand what those cameras see and act on it in real time.

Cloud-based analytics require your footage to leave your facility, get processed on shared infrastructure, and return generic results. For Indian manufacturers, that means privacy risk, latency, and compliance challenges.

Kenesis runs entirely on your premises. Your footage never leaves your network. And when the internet goes down, your safety system keeps running.

What we believe

Complete data sovereignty.

Your camera footage is processed and stored exclusively on your premises. No cloud provider, no third party, no external entity ever accesses your data.

Contextual intelligence.

Our AI doesn't just detect objects — it understands context. "Worker in welding zone without face shield during active operation" is actionable. A generic bounding box is not.

Zero internet dependency.

Many Indian industrial zones have unreliable connectivity. Kenesis is designed to operate completely offline — your safety system should never depend on your ISP.

Compliance shouldn't be an afterthought.

DPDP Act, factory safety regulations, data sovereignty requirements — we're built for these from day one, not retrofitted.
