Two brothers started an electronics design company in Kent, England, in 2010. They built a tablet PC, launched it in India, were adopted by Intel, then spent a decade turning hardware discipline into software that automates work. What follows is the archive — every recognition, product, partnership and expansion, in order.

Sixteen years, one continuous line: from a 7-inch tablet in Trivandrum to a governed fleet of digital workers built in Kochi, sold from New York, governed from London and researched in Helsinki.
