About

Visual intelligence for every factory.

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

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. 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.

Built from the ground up

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 simple "something detected" with no context is not.

Zero internet dependency.

Many industrial facilities have unreliable connectivity. Kenesis is designed to operate completely offline. Your safety system should never go down just because your internet does.

Compliance shouldn't be an afterthought.

Data protection laws, factory safety regulations, compliance requirements: we're built for these from day one, not retrofitted.
