Our Story

Too much time fixing, not enough time building

Early Days

We (Rakesh and Sameer) worked at two pioneering companies, Databricks and ThoughtSpot, as early engineers, surrounded by some of the brightest minds in technology, building revolutionary products.

We found ourselves spending only half our time on what truly mattered—shipping features.

The other half? It was consumed by debugging and fixing issues.

The Problem

As engineering leaders, this was a frustrating realization.

Every team we spoke with shared the same struggle—countless hours spent in debugging issues. This involved searching for needle in haystack across logs, metrics, traces, change events, and fragmented observability tools.

The Vision

This shared experience was a turning point for us. Our vast experience in AI and Data, led us to dream a much better world with Deductive AI.

Our mission is to help engineering teams break free from the endless cycle of debugging, so they can focus on what truly drives impact—building and shipping great features.

We’re powering a future of autonomous self-healing systems.
