At Blurgs AI, we believe the future of security and critical infrastructure will depend on trusted intelligence that is real-time, resilient, and reliable. We are building deep-tech platforms from India that help nations, enterprises, and communities see better, decide faster, and operate with greater confidence,” Roshan Raj Mohanty, Co-founder and CEO, is championing a bold vision.“Maritime infrastructure is becoming increasingly software-defined, yet the real bottleneck remains decision intelligence rather than data availability. Blurgs AI is building the intelligence layer that transforms fragmented sensor and operational data into real-time, decision-ready insights, enabling faster, more informed responses in mission-critical environments,” Vasant Rao, Managing Partner at Shastra VC, said.Published on July 7, 2026
