Our Story
Proactive security in a reactive world
At 12, Shikhar Shrestha was robbed. A security camera was present, but no patrol officer intervened. Shikhar realized physical security is reactive.
There’s too much activity and too few people to monitor it. Security cameras alone aren’t enough for real-time responses.
Shikhar studied at Stanford and met Vikesh Khanna. In 2017, they founded Ambient.ai to transform physical security.
Ambient.ai uses AI-driven computer vision for security. Leading teams prevent incidents before they occur.
