A developing country like India is in dire need of new and smarter forms of urban and rural governance. In this digital age, where technological progress has been touching the roof, the advancement of the nation to facilitate digitalization should be the top priority. As such, Bengaluru-based Beltech AI is accelerating the development of the nation by integrating state-of-the-art artificial intelligence into public infrastructure. It understands that the need of the hour is to provide a comfortable living to the citizens without burdening the taxpayers. Beltech AI has identified the problems looming the country and hindering its development. Keeping the challenges in mind, Beltech AI has developed a series of smart governance products ranging from traffic management and public transport to security and smart city.
This modern life has become a busy affair with numerous lifestyle problems, and the stress of waiting in a traffic jam should not be one of them. As such, Beltech AI wants to bring change to the current system to facilitate a comfortable lifestyle for the citizens. It takes into consideration every life lost in the ambulance due to heavy traffic, every life lost due to non-adherence to traffic laws, every person not being able to spend enough time with his/her/their families and instead of being stuck in the traffic. Beltech AI’s vision is to make urban and rural infrastructure smarter, in order to facilitate faster, easier, and more transparent governance. Using state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) and integrating it with public infrastructure, Beltech AI has developed an innovative traffic control method to manage traffic as well as detect violations called AI-Driven Traffic Management System and AI-DrivenTraffic Violation Detection System.
Security
Beltech AI’s Eagle Eye automatically detects crimes such as theft, harassment, physical fights, etc. in real-time using computer vision, and alerts the authorities immediately. Furthermore, using the list of suspected criminals, the AI tracks their moments for crime prevention and provides detailed analytics to the relevant authorities. The company also recognizes the unwelcome nuisance on women in public spaces, and as such has created an app called SecureMe. SecureMe detects any kind of harassment on the streets and alerts the authorities about potential threats. The app also has the feature to warn the user of any convicted criminals in the area, and the user can also share their whereabouts and movements with their friends and family.
Smart City
Beltech AI’s Garbage Tracking AI automatically detects garbage across the city. It tracks the person, location, and the time of the incident and notifies the concerned authorities. The AI also detects damage done to the public infrastructure such as potholes, pavements, etc., and alerts the authorities. It also monitors the contractors on-site who are fixing the raised issue. The company’s Smart Street Lights control the street lighting so that they only work when a person or vehicle is present. It can be used to measure the speed and direction of traffic, coordinate street lighting intensity across the city, and hence reduce energy loss. The Smart City system can be used to open up the network and allow the public to access WiFi.
Smart Public Transport
Beltech AI’s Public Transport system, using computer vision, track the location of public buses throughout the city and provides this data to the public. Thus, helping the public to plan their journey better. As such the technology is capable of making every bus stand a smart bus stand. Apart from this, the Smart Ticketing app automatically deducts money from the digital wallet of users depending on their journey. Other features of the app include locating the whereabouts of all available public transport like autos, bus, taxi, smart bikes, etc. within a city.
The traffic control algorithms by Beltech AI are way ahead of time and the traffic management system is a boon in reducing the traffic issues in big and smart cities like Bengaluru. Beltech AI’s biggest clients are the Governments of the States and Smart Cities. Through the help of such authorities and city planners, Beltech AI aims to make the cities better and more peaceful places to live.

Employee testimonials – Know what employees have to say
Right Opportunity to empower the skills- I started my journey into Computer Vision to assess the performance of athletes. This quality came quite inherently to me since I am a powerlifter. As an athlete, the one problem I faced was the lack of access to great coaches. And I knew it was a problem other athletes were also facing. I started tackling the problem by finding mistakes in weight training exercises. To solve this, I went through the existing literature for the state-of-the-art pose estimation algorithms, tracking, and detection of moving objects in space.
It’s been 2 years now and using similar technologies I have improved my computer vision skills significantly from when I began my journey. And during my research phase, almost 8 months ago, Sathisha Basavaraju discovered me on Linkedin. We instantly matched on our intellectual levels. I am now working with Beltech AI using the same set of skills for a much bigger purpose. For the past few months now, I have been improving my skills in pose estimation and object detection with the help of my team at Beltech AI. Beltech AI has given me the space and liberty to do my research. Furthermore, I am glad that my skill that was previously being used for a niche market can now be used for making cities safer and smarter. ——-Aafaq Inamdar, Computer Vision Engineer
Immense Support & Superior Technology- It’s been a year and a half since I joined Beltech AI and I already feel like a part of something bigger. One thing that impresses me about the company is the state-of-the-art technology in use. I feel empowered by the kind of support my manager, as well as the CEO, provided me. I have been able to learn a lot throughout my journey and I give all the credit to my manager who has had more than 20 years of experience in this field. Every day get to learn something new and I am glad to have gained so much knowledge in the initial days of my career. –Shithanshu Mishra, Backend Engineer
Family Environment, Trust & Liberty- I was heard and trusted from day 1 and am grateful for all the support for my professional development and upcoming opportunities. Being from a small town it was quite difficult for me to adjust to city life. But the folks at Beltech AI assured me before joining that they would help me in this transition and they did. They even helped me in finding a place and took care of the deposit as well. They also took care of my living expenses in the initial days. I am so glad that I took this opportunity because apart from professional growth Beltech has also facilitated my personal growth.
I am also thankful to my manager who has given me as much creative liberty and doesn’t doubt my capabilities. Before joining I had expressed my interest in an AI-driven face recognition system and my manager supported me throughout my journey from conception to execution. Seeing my work in action in real life makes me really happy and I’m excited to work for more such products in the coming future. —-Sunil Sharma, Computer Vision Engineer

Message from the HR Desk:
Beltech AI always tries to keep its employees’ growth as the top priority, it believes that the company can only grow if the employees grow with it. It doesn’t believe in using conventional methods of using quantitative performance-measurement systems articulating a corporate policy on how employees should progress. Employees have the full freedom to express their liking and interests.
The other thing that I have noticed about the company and something that I really appreciate is the efforts put into boosting employees’ morale. The company tries to host various events and activities either weekly or monthly and encourages everyone to take part actively. —Devi SD, HR
