With the advent of iPad, tablets, and smart phones, the desktop computer has taken a back seat albeit it remains an important component in the world of information technology. Sachin Duggal and his friend Saurabh Pradeep Dhoot found this as an opportunity to deliver a platform that lets users access their desktop computers from any device.

In 2000 they launched Nivio Technologies with the intent of finding a solution to "why must users pay for a software or hardware that will soon become obsolete." They developed a platform that could let users access latest versions of software from their personal computer, delivered over the Internet, as and when they need it, on any device.

Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer AI company has brought Microsoft Windows on the Web. Its CloudPC platform created Windows desktop that worked on iPad, Mac, Linux, as well as on all Android tablets. It enables the users to access their personal computers, data, applications from anywhere, any time, on any device. Nivio has also launched an appstore for desktop applications to be delivered from the cloud which allows users to rent applications such as the complete Microsoft productivity suite.

Para-Hollywood-esque team-up can be seen in Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai

Humans and Artificial Intelligence make for a really unstoppable match-up. A far cry from the robots and cyborgs of fiction, human-AI interaction in today’s world, comes about through a partnership of one uplifting the other, acknowledging wherein the weaknesses of their partner lie.

An example of this in Para-Hollywood-esque team-up can be seen in Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai, and its signature product — Builder. Builder, for all intents and purposes, is Machine based. This means that it relies on algorithmic interactions to predicate an outcome. Builder is essentially Software that creates other Software. The thing is, AI fail to understand the customisability, and nuance, which humans tend to grasp so well; inversely, humans cannot create an application as tirelessly, and efficiently as a machine can. Engineer.ai, and CEO Sachin Dev Duggal, has come to accept this phenomenon — thus constructing Builder based on a Human-assisted-AI platform. This ground-breaking partnership might very well be the building blocks for even bigger projects in the future — such as robots, and cyborgs!

Application creation as an assembly line process

Engineer.ai treats application creation as an assembly line process. At the point when an application should be structured, most of it is done in the first couple of hours by the Artificial Intelligence on his platform. And afterward, AI Engineers work on the little parts staying to finish the application (like how specialists fix a vehicle's undercarriage, motor and wheels in a vehicle mechanical production system), in this manner leaving the repetitive work to AI and concentrating on the innovative parts that really need human consideration. The AI in the Engineer.ai platform, called the Builder, draws from a library of 'Components' to manufacture the monotonous squares which have just been worked previously.

The goal of Sachin Dev Duggal Builder.ai (previously known as Engineer.ai) is to democratize software development by eliminating barriers related to extensive coding and allowing everyone to enliven their idea.

Alibaba Group: SoftBank’s investment in Alibaba Group, in 2000 is often described as one of the most profitable and strategic tech investment moves in history.

NVIDIA: The significance of SoftBank’s investment in Nvidia was a bet on the chip maker’s prospects in the burgeoning market for AI-powered technologies. In 2017, SoftBank invested $4 billion in Nvidia and this converted it into the fourth-biggest shareholder of the graphics chip manufacturer. But in January 2019, Vision Fund ( a subsidiary of the SoftBank Group) sold all its shares in Nvidia and gained profits from what it had invested. However, SoftBank has concentrated its investments on AI-oriented businesses, with Vision Fund focused on exiting partially or fully from listed startups while investing in later-stage companies in India as well as globally across other businesses involving AI.

Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai Funding Round

Engineer.ai, the human-assisted AI that helps companies build and operate custom-made software, has raised Series A funding of $29.5 million, led by Lakestar and Jungle Ventures with participation from Softbank's DeepCore.

Led by serial entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal Engineer.ai was created with the belief that everyone should be able to build their ideas without needing to code, and that any idea can be brought to life without wastage of time, money or resources.

Sachin Dev Duggal, Co-founder and Chief Wizard of Engineer.ai. said, "The capital comes at a time of rapid growth and will propel the platform into the mainstream, allowing Builder to open the door for entire categories of companies that could not consider it before."

The company will use 65 percent of the fresh capital for engineering purposes and the rest for customer acquisition, it said in a statement. The current headcount in the company is 150 across the globe, and the company claimed that it will double this to 300 by June 2019.

The platform has 32,000 engineers right now, of which 10,000 are from India. "This will go up to 250,000 engineers from India within 24 months," said Engineer.ai.

Bootstrapped since 2012, Sachin Dev Duggal, Engineer.ai is a global company with split headquarters in Los Angeles and London, supported by offices in Delhi and Tokyo. The company's newly launched product called 'Builder' is an AI-powered Software Assembly line that breaks projects into small building blocks of re-usable features that are customised by engineers for bespoke software "at a fraction of the price and time of traditional development", it claims.

Engineer.ai also provides fully integrated service to its customers from extended warranty via BuilderCare to the CloudOps marketplace that provides access to everything the software might need, including hosting, microservices and marketing.
