From Blue City to Global Boardrooms: InteliQuant AI’s Journey from Heritage to High-Tech

Born in Jodhpur, Built for the World
When you think of cutting-edge AI startups, your mind might go to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, or Silicon Valley and not Jodhpur. But that’s exactly what makes InteliQuant AI’s story remarkable.
From the sandstone streets of Rajasthan’s Blue City, this AI/ML startup is quietly transforming how global enterprises manage risk, compliance, and operational intelligence.
Born from the minds of Chartered Accountants turned Tech Entrepreneurs, Priyanka Bairathi & Kapil Dev Soni, InteliQuant AI stands as proof that today’s most powerful innovations come not from coders alone, but from professionals who have mastered both business and technology along with conviction and courage.
The Problem They Set Out to Solve
Enterprises today are buried under mounting of voluminous data, yet starved for insight. Audits take months, frauds are discovered too late, and decisions are made on fragmented information.
Kapil, with two decades in risk assurance and enterprise systems, saw this firsthand. “Every CXO we spoke to had the same story, they often discover revenue losses, opportunities and inefficiencies months after the damage was done,” he recalls.
Priyanka, an IIM Bangalore alum also with deep strategic experience in startup ecosystem, adds, “Even the best leaders were making decisions on insufficient insights. Enterprises didn’t just need compliance — they need clarity.”
The InteliQuant Solution
InteliQuant’s core offering Keibi AI — an ERP-integrated, AI/ML-powered risk assurance platform – that scans 100% of enterprise transactions in real time. It detects fraud, inefficiencies, and anomalies, and tells CXOs not just what went wrong, but why.
In initial pilots, Keibi AI reduced audit time by 40% and delivered ROI within five months — turning compliance from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
“As finance professionals, we always wanted to go beyond hindsight. With Keibi AI, we’ve made foresight possible, helping organizations see risks before they turn into losses,” says Kapil
The company has also developed 4ToSS, a proprietary AI-driven Sales & Operations Planning framework that connects planning to transactions across complex manufacturing ecosystems.
Why Jodhpur?
Setting up an AI based Tech Venture in a tier-2 city was a conscious choice. “Jodhpur gave us focus, and access to exceptional finance & tech talent,” says Priyanka. “Being away from the big city noise helped us to solve real problems and not just chase the trends.”
Scepticisms was natural. But early pilots proved that serious AI innovation could thrive outside metros. Today, InteliQuant AI stands as proof that world-class technology can be built anywhere if you have passion.
The Journey So Far
Bootstrapped from inception, InteliQuant AI has grown into a 27-member multidisciplinary team spanning finance, technology, and data science.
More than half of InteliQuant AI’s team are women a reflection of its belief that real innovation thrives in diverse minds and inclusive spaces. Women here don’t just participate, they lead breakthroughs in product design, analytics, and technology. At InteliQuant, empowerment isn’t a policy, it’s a practice that fuels creativity, confidence, and collective success.
The company’s products are sector agnostic with strong use cases for Pharma, FMCG, Real Estate, Automotive, Oil & Gas, and Retail.
Scaling Impact
InteliQuant is now expanding across India, the UAE, and North America, integrating new predictive modules across finance, operations, and supply chain.
“We’re not chasing a vertical,” says Kapil. “We’re building a horizontal AI layer that brings trust, transparency, and intelligence to every enterprise.”
Priyanka adds, “Our goal is to make governance measurable, proactive, and globally accessible. That’s how you build trust at scale.”
Closing Thought
InteliQuant AI isn’t just building software — it’s reshaping how enterprises think about governance, risk, compliance and intelligence. In an era where most innovation stories begin in metros, InteliQuant AI is a powerful reminder:
AI doesn’t belong to the few — it can be built anywhere, by anyone, with the courage to see clarity where others see complexity.
