Mr Nikhil Rishi

Co-Founder, BioSarthi

Nikhil is Co-Founder of BioSarthi, an AI and data platform building the operating layer for India’s compressed biogas (CBG) economy. BioSarthi is incubated at the NASSCOM Centre of Excellence for IoT and AI, Gurugram.
Nikhil’s conviction is simple: India’s biogas policy framework is settled, and the unsolved challenge is operating plants well, day after day. BioSarthi addresses this with language models grounded in each plant’s own manuals, SOPs and operating data, giving operators a Hindi and English assistant, live dashboards and timely alerts. The platform is being built and tested at a working CBG plant in Gwalior that BioSarthi operates.

A technology entrepreneur since 2009, Nikhil has spent 17 years architecting the systems behind inventory, orders, finance and supply chains for Indian and global businesses. A firm believer in the Story of India, he is building BioSarthi as proof that world-class AI for clean energy can be made in India.
