About Us
Kedar Kulkarni is the Co-founder and CEO of HyperVerge, one of India's leading AI companies specializing in identity verification and KYC solutions. A visionary leader with deep technical expertise, Kedar has built HyperVerge from a college research group into a global enterprise serving major organizations like Jio, Vodafone, Grab, and State Bank of India.
In 2010, while still a second-year student, Kedar co-founded Lema Labs, an education company focused on emerging technologies. The venture has since trained over 2,400 students in robotics across 20 colleges and continues to develop learning modules for robotics, embedded systems, machine learning, and industrial automation.
In 2013, Kedar partnered with four fellow IIT Madras alumni - Vignesh Krishnakumar (CTO), Kishore Natarajan, Saivenkatesh Ashokkumar, and Praveen Kumar - to establish HyperVerge. The company initially developed "Silver," a consumer photo organization app, before pivoting to enterprise AI solutions focused on identity verification and fraud prevention.
Kedar is driven by a mission to "build a conscious business that stands the test of time" and inspire 100 leaders to follow similar principles. He believes in leveraging HyperVerge as a strong economic engine to power contribution initiatives that create meaningful societal impact.
