Niricson is the brainchild of co-founder Harsh Rathod who was working toward a Ph.D. in civil engineering at the University of Victoria in 2016 when he learned that a bridge on the busy Mumbai-Goa highway had collapsed, killing nearly 30 people. That disaster changed everything for Harsh, who then focused his doctoral work on using robotics and computer vision to assess the condition of dams, bridges, and other infrastructure. At that time, he hadn’t thought about business applications for his work, which aimed to replace antiquated inspection techniques.
Niricson was founded in 2020 by Harsh Rathod (CEO) and Aki Tomita (CFO). The name Niricson comes from the Sanskrit word ‘nireekshan’ which means “inspection” or “detailed investigation”. Harsh & Aki built Niricson over the next several years, setting up teams for Machine Learning, Mechatronics, and Software Development.
