The World of Technology is all About AI
The contemporary world is tailor-made for the
companies who are pushing the boundaries of
technology. The entire world has realized the worth
of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning but
still lack the direction and expertise.
The biggest challenge faced by Tardid was to change
the mindset of the industry. To make them understand
that there is a possibility for a scientific process to
understand critical failures proactively, and this in turn
became the best opportunity for the company.
Challenges Strengthens the Journey
Another challenge was to keep the company
bootstrapped for close to 1.5 years. This was
intentionally done so that Tardid can develop the
technology without getting into the pressure of revenue
generation.
Other prominent issues were, to find potential
technology evangelist customers who appreciate the
company’s service and product. Tardid was offering
something exceptional and never before seen in the
market which made it difficult to convince the
customer. But, newer challenges kept the path exciting
for the evolution hungry company.
The Mechanical Doctor: ensures sustainability and
business continuity against all disruptions and
stagnations.
Major Factor of Company’s Success is Tardid’s Team
While considering the completion of company’s successful years, Neel sincerely expresses his gratitude
towards “The Team”. He says, “The team has worked without getting any special benefits and still they have
given more than their 100%. We have kept our feet on the ground and just worked really hard and will still
continue to do so. We were lucky to have investors who allowed us to focus on product and technology
development.”
Also, Tardid was conceptualized at presumably the right time, when the world is moving towards the industry
4.0 and availability of the desired resources made it the apt time to work in this area. Furthermore, the aging
infrastructure of the heavy industry has created a need for companies like Tardid to provide them with
solutions which can help them increase their sustainability.
Motivated Team
There is an age old saying, "When you love the work you do, it doesn’t remain work anymore." At Tardid,
every individual member has been hand picked for performing the task they enjoy and want to work on. Neel
added, “I feel proud to say, that one of our members left his cushy job in Norway to come work with us at a
much lower compensation than what he was getting.” Besides that, the company has created such a
work-culture where employees are encouraged to bring the difference to a table when opinions mismatch and
discuss what fits the best.
Building Long-term Customer Relationships
The industries that Tardid works for, thrives on long-term relationships. Moreover, the company builds the
business models which offer clients with the flexibility to start small and gradually make it bigger. Tardid
believes in long-term relationships with their customers instead of just a retail one-time relationship. They
ensure that their customers also appreciate this mutual dependence in order to obtain the best results.
Artificial Intelligence is the Ultimate Future of Technology
The industry is evolving, the future ahead is very bright. Someone has correctly said that, “Artificial
Intelligence will effect everything, there is nothing it will not touch”, we are just at the beginning of the bell
curve of growth. It’s a long journey with global need, increasing every second.
