I am Arush Kakkar, founder of Agrex.ai, building India’s leading Video Analytics company.
I like to build with purpose, think in systems, and live meaningfully. I’m interested in the future of AI, organ regeneration research and finding out the meaning of life (aren’t we all?)
About Me
After graduating from Delhi Technological University, I decided to follow an alternative career path and found my calling in Entrepreneurship. Having a background in AI research, I started Agrex.ai to make brick-and-mortar businesses in retail, logistics, banking, and security etc smarter. I hold a law degree as well, and I’m trying to bring new perspective to multiple industries by mentoring other startups and consulting other companies.
I was recently awarded “Entrepreneur of the Year” by Times Group and “30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs” by Entrepreneurs Today
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
- Robert Heinlein
Love to listen to, dance to, and sometimes produce some melodic, progressive techno. Give my tracks a listen!
Books I think everyone should read at least once :
Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl
Thinking Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman
Meditations, Marcus Aurelius
Grit, Angela Duckworth
Range, David Epstein
The Hard Thing about Hard Things, Ben Horowitz
