mission
We are a deep-tech cybersecurity startup building AI-native security infrastructure from the ground up. No wrappers. No bolt-ons. Purpose-built AI for a world where security cannot hallucinate.
Our Mission
The cybersecurity industry runs on guesswork. Legacy tools pattern-match against yesterday's threats. AI add-ons from incumbents bolt probabilistic models onto deterministic problems introducing hallucination where there should be certainty. The result: false positives that drain your team, false negatives that let real threats through.
We built Sojaru to end that. A cybersecurity intelligence layer where AI is the foundation, not a feature. One that eliminates hallucination by architectural design not by prompt engineering or fine-tuning. One that governments, defense agencies, and critical infrastructure operators can deploy with full sovereignty over their data.
Every line of HOPE AI is written from scratch. No GPT wrappers. No fine-tuned general models. No external API calls. A custom transformer with constrained reasoning boundaries purpose-built so that every security decision it makes is deterministic, verifiable, and mathematically certain. That's not a roadmap item. It's shipping today.
Our Values
Zero Compromise
In security, "mostly right" is wrong. We architect for mathematical certainty, not statistical probability
Sovereignty First
Your data never leaves your infrastructure. Full on-prem deployment. No cloud dependencies. No external model calls.
Speed of Attack
Defense that matches the speed of modern attacks. Sub-millisecond response isn't a goal it's a requirement.
Client-First Engineering
If it doesn't secure your infrastructure better, it doesn't ship. Your threat landscape shapes our roadmap not the other way around.
Founders
Rishik Pal — CEO
Economics major by training, operator by practice.
Rishik turned down a JP Morgan role to build Sojaru. He brings prior startup experience in GTM execution, compliance navigation, and enterprise operations and understands exactly how institutions think. He just chose to be on the other side of the table.
Soubhik Biswas — CTO
Mathematics and Computer Science and it shows in how he builds.
Soubhik trained HOPE AI from scratch, built code diffusion for software execution, and solved what the cybersecurity industry was structurally unable to solve. He is currently working on controlling emergent LLM behaviour at the architecture level. Before Sojaru, he was a core architect of ABDM NHCX with the National Health Authority, deploying AI-based healthtech solutions at national scale.
