We’re building what we wish had existed when we were students.
Detective Monkey started in Guwahati in 2026, because the founders were students of the exact gap we’re trying to close: India’s best education tools were built for its top 50 cities, while the other 600+ cities were handed photocopies.
A generation where every student’s true intelligence is recognized, nurtured, and given the opportunity to flourish — regardless of postcode, language, or family income.
To build an AI-powered education ecosystem that helps schools run better, helps students see themselves more fully, and helps institutions find the students who will thrive with them. To do this first for the parts of India that other companies overlook — and to commit 10% of net annual revenue back to the students who need it most.
Real people, from places we know.
Leads product and go-to-market. Learned the education problem not from research papers but from his own school years in Assam.
Builds the ART assessment and the student app. Grew up hacking on a shared family desktop in a small town.
Ships the platform — LMS, infra, admin. Believes software is only premium if it's fast on a ₹12,000 Android.
Translates the four-pillar framework into valid, calibrated assessments. New hire landing this quarter.
Runs university partnerships across 30 international + 25 domestic institutions. Based in Guwahati.
Real photos land in /public/team once the final shoot is complete.
What we’ve actually done.
Detective Monkey Education & Careers Pvt. Ltd. registered in Guwahati.
Recognized startup under DPIIT, Government of India.
Accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program for AI startups.
LMS, ART profile beta, and Campus Circle catalog go live.
The rules we actually enforce.
A calm site that loads in 2 seconds beats a mesmerizing one that loads in 6.
We design for Barpeta and Guwahati first — not as a discount version of what we'd ship to Bangalore.
Ownership, portability, and deletion are features — not negotiations.
Every product we price, we price against what we'd pay in the same position.
