Ahsan Memon
CEO
Visit Profile
Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the organization.
Ekkel is a tightly-knit enterprise, excelling in AI tool development and accelerated digitization. Renowned for collaborations with top-tier universities, hospitals, and marketing companies, Ekkel has refined its expertise, ensuring notable efficiency and impact. As Ekkel continues to grow, it remains committed to driving innovation, upholding ethical AI practice, and supporting the broader tech community, thereby shaping a future where business efficiency and ethical AI coexist.

I am the head of the organization.
What is the story behind starting this company?
Ekkel AI was born out of inspiration, ambition, and a gap in the market. The three partners, each a luminary in the AI realm, recognized a gap in the tech landscape of 2020. While AI was only prevalent in research communities and not as rife in application space, the trio, driven by their passion and a dream to redefine the boundaries of technology with AI, had a brilliant insight: Why not be the beacon that lights up this overdue AI renaissance?

And so, with optimism, collaboration, and a zest for innovation, they united to create Ekkel AI. It wasn't merely about crafting cutting-edge software; it was a voyage to sculpt the future, to be pioneers in a new age. Ekkel AI became more than a company – it stood as a testament to their collective dreams, aiming to elevate industries, inspire next-generation tech enthusiasts, and shape the future with brilliance and purpose.
What are your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/ outsourcing?
We operate only with in-house teams.
How does your company differentiate itself from the competition?
One of the key differentiating factors for Ekkel is that we’ve been working with universities, making corporate liaisons, and delivering solutions even before the so-called 'AI revolution' took the world by storm. It's been an exhilarating journey, not just creating transformative products for our clients but also aiding our clients in securing over $40M in pre-seed and seed investments. Our commitment doesn't end at development; we pride ourselves on offering post-production support, ethical AI implementation, and continuous AI learning. This holistic approach, we believe, truly sets us apart in the market.
What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive? If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?
At Ekkel AI, our reach spans a diverse range of industries. We've had the privilege to work closely with sectors such as Oil and gas Distribution, Universities, Hospitals, Sales and marketing Companies, Tech Firms, and FMCGs. It's a testament to our adaptability and expertise that these varied sectors seek our AI solutions. As for client retention, we're honored to say that a significant portion of our clientele has chosen to collaborate with us time and again. This repetitive engagement underscores the trust and satisfaction they have in our offerings and our commitment to them.
Please share some of the services that you offer for which clients approach you the most for?
Among the services that clients frequently approach us for include:

What is your customer satisfaction rate according to you? What steps do you take to cater to your customer’s needs and requirements?
Our reputation at Ekkel AI is anchored in our consistent delivery of exceptional results. So much so that, to date, we've been fortunate to not receive any negative feedback from our valued clients. One of the pillars of our customer satisfaction is our structured escalation matrix. This, coupled with our process-driven feedback system, ensures that any client feedback or concerns are promptly addressed. This meticulous approach not only streamlines our application delivery but also reinforces our commitment to meeting and exceeding our clients' expectations at every juncture.
What kind of support system do you offer to your clients for catering to their queries and issues?
At Ekkel AI, we've devised a robust two-tiered support system to address our clients' queries and issues promptly. Level 1 Support is available 24/7, handling basic troubleshooting and immediate concerns. For intricate challenges, especially those requiring in-depth technical intervention, they're seamlessly escalated to our Level 2 Support operational during business hours, where our skilled developers dive in.

Beyond these immediate supports, our holistic maintenance plan extends to advanced areas like AI retraining on fresh data, meticulous AI model maintenance, and AI DevOps pipeline management. We not only address immediate operational needs but also ensure the consistent evolution and optimization of our AI solutions. This all-encompassing approach ensures that our clients enjoy a seamless, forward-facing experience, keeping them ahead in their respective industries.
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
At Ekkel AI, we tailor our approach to best fit the unique requirements of each client. Currently, we operate with two primary payment structures. The first is based on an FTE (Full Time Employee) model, where clients are billed for dedicated resource allocation.
The second structure is the Pay per Milestone approach, where payments are made upon the completion of specific milestones, be it phases, months, versions, or other defined parameters. Our objective is always to ensure a transparent, fair, and mutually beneficial financial arrangement with our valued clients.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
At Ekkel AI, we prioritize quality and meaningful collaborations. As such, we currently accept projects with a minimum budget of $20k per project.
What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2022?
In 2022, our project signing values ranged from $20k to $500k. It's worth noting that this range doesn't account for additional value from repeat collaborations or new projects with existing clients.
Where do you see your company in the next 10 years?
Over the next decade, we aim for Ekkel AI to stand as a beacon in the AI domain, harmonizing innovation, technology, and ethical standards. We're looking to go beyond just being a software developer; our ambition is to inspire, educate, and drive progress in AI and software realms. By creating a nexus of experts and upholding our dedication to ethical practices and data security, we intend to meet the evolving needs of both industry and academia. Our goal is to revolutionize businesses with our AI solutions, foster societal advancement, and champion the cause of ethical AI, striving for a future where business agility and moral principles go hand in hand.

Review Summary

We wanted to create a web app to deliver hardware-demanding content to users using GPUs in the cloud delivered to the browser. this needed to be scalable i.e., unique sessions would operate for each user. Here, the major challenge was setting up a system in which GPU docker containers could be multiplied on demand.

Overall, we wanted the web app to work smoothly and respond fast and create seamless experiences. This required a various expertise and access to impeccable servers for sharp performance.

Ekkel AI proved to us that they had the in-house capabilities to manage our work. They shared an amicable timeline and provided a unique solution with AWS to set up expandable GPU containers. Ekkel understood that the solution we wanted to create would have multiple applications. The combination of these two expertise convinced us that Ekkel would be the optimal choice for this project of ours. They were also transparent in the entire process which made us believe we could trust them.

The team’s dedication and round-the-clock communication was apparent to us and highly appreciated. We were impressed with how seamless the work was. There were no observable errors or flimsy workarounds.

We'd have a demo every week. We had set Wednesdays for the demo and sometimes also met on Fridays for some important follow ups. Throughout the product development, we never missed a Wednesday meeting where Ekkel's team would apprise us of current development progress and its alignment with the overall timeline of the project.

Review Summary

We wanted to create an NFT marketplace where users would be able to mint and buy NFTs. This would be based on the Ethereum blockchain technology. Our goal was to allow users to re-sell NFTs on third-party marketplaces as well. It was important to us that the web app was accessible via mobile.

The web application needed to be designed on Web 3.0 and would use the Ethereum blockchain to enable users to mint NFTs at no cost. The NFTs would be made using AI-generated images and displayed as Web 2.0 images. The only charges would be the gas prices. The next phase was to enable re-selling on third-party marketplaces. The user profiles would be live so others could view their NFT collection. We required end-trend development of the web app including UI/UX design, backend, and training of the AI model. The tech stack used for this project included Ether.JS, ReactJS, NestJS, and MongoDB.

Ekkel had significant experience working on blockchain and Ethereum in particular. Their team felt right a
