Azhar is a neuroscience researcher and entrepreneur who founded Tesserys, the world's first Neural Intelligence Platform. His work focuses on making brain monitoring accessible through affordable EEG technology combined with comprehensive analysis.
Azhar's mission is to advance cognitive science through accessible neurotechnology while empowering individuals to optimize their cognitive performance. Through Tesserys, he aims to make brain health monitoring as common as fitness tracking, providing real-time insights into cognitive states and performance patterns.
Starting from personal motivation , Azhar has spent years studying neuroscience, building DIY EEG systems, and developing analytics. His work spans from early breadboard prototypes to the sophisticated Neural analysis Intelligence Platform that Tesserys represents today.
My story so far , where I came from and how I got here.
I started my journey as a explorer at a age of 14. I coded my first full-stack web application, a pioneering platform that connected young innovators with local tech mentors. This early project not only gave me my first taste of real-world programming but also sparked my entrepreneurial spirit.
Alongside founding my robotics company, Astute Machines, I began a deep dive into neuroscience—self‑studying EEG literature and breadboarding my first DIY amplifier to record brain signals. Building real robots by day and tinkering with neural data by night pushed me to the edge of both hardware and AI. PS: ROS still sucks.
During my toughest phase—navigating depression, family health crises, and financial hurdles—launched a logistics venture amid COVID to serve my community, and volunteered with few NGOs. PS: Got into some of the most prestigious colleges in India but chose to follow my own path instead.
After parting ways with my logistics venture due to a co‑founder drift, I realigned my focus toward AI, computer vision, and neuroscience. I created and exited an AI‑powered legal‑tech product, SuitsAI, which I sold. It funded the first serious rev of Tesserys, my vision‑driven brain research platform. Though Tesserys was still foggy, my mission to quantify cognition was now non‑negotiable.
I’m fully immersed in building Tesserys—a neural research platfom with its first product, a multimodal EEG wearable and the most advanced software stack aimed at real‑time cognitive insights. With a launch planned for Q4 2025, my days cycle between noise tests, user study calls, and refining the Cognitive Capital Index algorithm. When I'm not coding, I'm exploring new ideas, writing, or at the gym, constantly seeking to improve and explore new horizons.
