Traditional automation (RPA) is brittle. You move a button one pixel to the right, and the bot crashes.
For years, we built “dumb” bots that blindly followed coordinates. They didn’t see the screen; they just clicked where they were told.
Induced AI is building the brain that fixes this.
Founded by Aryan Sharma and Ayush Pathak (teenage builders who moved from India to SF), Induced is an AI-native browser environment designed for agents, not humans.
This isn’t just a script running on Chrome. Induced has rebuilt the browser infrastructure to allow AI agents to act like humans. They can handle authentication, 2FA, file downloads, and complex reasoning without getting blocked by anti-bot filters or breaking when the UI changes.
The market? Any back-office workflow — from invoice processing to compliance checks — that was previously too complex for standard RPA.
The founder story is pure grit. Aryan started sending cold emails to tech leaders when he was 14. He didn’t have a degree or a network. He just had audacity. That hustle led him to Sam Altman, who not only replied but invested in their seed round along with Peak XV and Nat Friedman.
It is a powerful signal that age is no longer a barrier to building deep infrastructure. The next generation of Indian founders isn’t waiting for permission.
We are excited to see what they build next.
Let’s celebrate the builders.
