Why I Built This
A real problem that costs the Indian retail industry billions every year — and nobody was solving it with AI.
One day I visited a DMart store in Hyderabad. I wanted to buy milk — the shelf was completely empty. I asked a staff member. They said "Sir, we'll restock in 2 hours." I left and bought it elsewhere.
That single interaction made me think: How many customers do this every day? How much money is the store losing? I researched and discovered:
🔴 Indian retail loses ₹2,000+ crores annually to out-of-stock (OOS) events. Staff manually walk aisles every 2 hours. They miss empty spots. It's too slow. Too expensive. Too unreliable.
💡 But every store already has CCTV cameras installed everywhere. The footage just sits there — unused. That's when I realized: I can make those cameras intelligent.
