    “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 make infrastructure safer. At that time, he hadn’t thought about business applications for his work, which aimed to replace antiquated inspection techniques.”
