TechMachinery Labs

What TechMachinery Labs does

TechMachinery Labs is a privately held, bootstrapped consulting and product development firm founded in 2016 and domiciled in India as TechMachinery LabsTM Services Private Limited. It delivers strategic cybersecurity and technology-product leadership through fractional executive services — vCISO (CISO as a Service) and vCTO (CTO as a Service) — and operates a proprietary technology platform branded TrustyFi®, comprising an extensible API-based Core Platform and three product lines: TrustyFi Insight (machine learning and computer-vision anti-counterfeiting), TrustyFi TrustLoops (end-to-end security posture management), and Asset Tracking and Provenance Technology (ML and geo-location-based inventory tracking). A hands-on cybersecurity training program, TrustyFi Learn, supplements the portfolio.

The underlying technology stack combines Machine Learning, Geo-Location-based Track and Trace, Computer Vision, Edge Computing, and Advanced Analytics, with co-founder Nishant Krishna identified as a US Patent Holder in Cybersecurity, Cognitive Computing, and Machine Learning. The firm's customer targeting is organized along four verticals: enterprises requiring asset tracking and provenance, brands needing anti-counterfeiting, organizations seeking cybersecurity leadership without a full-time CISO, and companies requiring technology product development leadership without a full-time CTO.

Revenue is generated through three streams — managed vCISO/vCTO retainers, subscription/usage fees on the TrustyFi platform, and bespoke professional services consulting — under a quote-based pricing model with no public disclosure. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct customer engagement initiated through website "Get in Touch" or "Purchase" call-to-actions. The firm maintains three offices — New York City headquarters plus Gurugram and Bengaluru (WeWork ETV) — and has built a partnership ecosystem spanning cybersecurity firms (Saarth Infosec), technology partners (MindCraft, Grey Neurons, 360M, Innovative Assessments), and academic institutions (Ramaiah Institute of Technology, IIBM, Kristu Jayanti College). Ownership remains concentrated with co-founders Gaurav Kedia and Nishant Krishna; no institutional funding rounds, acquisitions, or public capital markets activity are disclosed.
