Physicist by training, entrepreneur by circumstance — building AI-native tools for Indian education, from Bengaluru.
A first-generation entrepreneur with no family business to fall back on — everything here was built from a standing start.
Manjunath studied Physics and Mathematics at CAIAS, Bengaluru, and carried a physicist's instinct for testing ideas against reality into everything he's built since — including an early, independent detour into quantum computing that produced working simulators for two real cryptographic protocols before he'd written a business plan for anything.
That same instinct now drives Cerebrix: an AI-powered exam intelligence platform built specifically for Indian educational institutions, self-funded and incubated at CAIAS. He also works as an Enterprise Relations Officer at Vybe Technologies, and speaks regularly to college audiences on AI, careers, and entrepreneurship.
Physics teaches you to trust a result only after you've tried to break it. That's the standard I hold products to — a working demo isn't proof. A pilot that survives contact with real users is.
