INNEFU

Innefu Labs Pvt. Ltd. operates as a specialized information security and data analytics firm, leveraging artificial intelligence to develop solutions for national and cyber security challenges. The company was founded in Delhi, India, in 2010 by Tarun Wig, Abhishek Sharma, and Omkar Nath Wig with a clear focus on creating indigenous security products to reduce reliance on foreign technologies. The founders, Tarun Wig and Abhishek Sharma, were college batchmates and friends who identified a gap in the Indian market, which was then dominated by multinational corporations. Tarun Wig, the CEO, has over 17 years of experience in cybersecurity and drives the company's strategy and business growth. Abhishek Sharma, the CTO, brings 17 years of experience in software development and leads the technology and product development, including the flagship Prophecy framework.

The company's business model is centered on providing long-term contracts for its AI-powered products and services to a diverse clientele. This client base includes defense and intelligence organizations, law enforcement agencies, paramilitary forces like the Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), financial intelligence units, and Fortune 500 companies. Revenue is generated through the deployment of its proprietary software solutions that address critical security needs. In April 2017, Innefu secured $2 million in a Series A funding round led by IndiaNivesh Fund Managers to fuel product development, international expansion, and team growth.

Innefu offers a comprehensive suite of products categorized into Big Data Fusion & Analytics, Image & Video Analytics, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), Forensics & Telecom Analytics, and Cybersecurity. A key offering is 'Prophecy', a big data analytics platform that employs machine learning for tasks like predictive policing and financial fraud detection. For law enforcement, the firm provides 'AI Vision' for video analytics and facial recognition, which was notably used by the Delhi Police. Their cybersecurity portfolio includes 'AuthShield', a multi-factor authentication solution, and 'Imunne', a mobile malware defense system. The company also developed Prophecy GPT, an on-premise Large Language Model (LLM) tailored for defense and intelligence operations, and solutions for deep packet inspection and integrated defense intelligence fusion.

Significant milestones for Innefu include implementing the first-ever intelligence fusion center for India's BSF in 2016 and deploying a predictive policing framework across five different organizations by 2018. In 2020, their technology helped identify fraudulent GST claims amounting to 470 Crores. The company has expanded its operations to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, with over 100 installations across these regions.
