00:00Rishi, tell me a little bit about Bidaal. How did you start? When did you start? And what does Bidaal actually do?
00:13Thank you. So, the story of Bidaal belongs to our college days.
00:19When we were students, we used to visit different factories and plants across India.
00:25Then we identified that the safety for the blue-collar workers and the people who are working on the ground is basically compromised.
00:33And the process is totally manual because people roam around and identify if something wrong is going on or hazardous is going on in the plants.
00:42From there, we got the motivation. Why can't we introduce the latest technology into these factories and plants to improve and uplift the safety practices across the industry?
00:53So, that is what we are doing for almost all the large players across India.
00:58And till now, we have covered more than 50 or 60 locations.
01:03Okay, so you are working with these companies.
01:07And the biggest thing that I would like to know from you is that I think the way of surveillance will be manual.
01:14That a person, a supervisor is watching everyone, he is surveilling and then he reports it.
01:21After this, what has changed and which big companies are you working with?
01:27So, I will start with where we are working actually.
01:31So, we are working with all the big names, be it Adani, Tata Steel, JSW Group.
01:36In PSUs also, Coal India Limited, Steel Authority India Limited, Jindal Group.
01:41So, these are the clients that we are serving to right now.
01:45And other all large Fortune 500 companies which are based out of India.
01:50So, we are covering almost 100% of Fortune 500 from India.
01:55And what changes we have brought in terms of the surveillance space.
02:00In the earlier process, from detection to analysis and reporting, it was purely human-based approach.
02:09It took a lot of time.
02:11And the major risk was that it was humanly not practically possible to identify 100% of the things.
02:21So, through AI and latest of the computer vision algorithms,
02:26we are detecting now 10 times more incidents as compared to the human-based approach.
02:32And secondly, the time to take the corrective action.
02:37So, suppose in the human-based approach, if your supervisor has identified an incident,
02:43he will come in the afternoon and tell you that I saw this and that.
02:47But with the latest of technology into AI, in real time you get the actionable insights.
02:53So that you can actually take the steps to cut down any incident or accident
02:58or even unfortunate fatalities that used to happen previously.
