About Canny Technologies

The Team Behind World-Class Software

Enterprise engineers and AI researchers united by one mission — building software that transforms businesses, automates the mundane, and unlocks human potential at scale.

Our Story

Built From the Trenches of Enterprise Engineering

Canny Technologies was founded in 2018 by Rahul Sharma and Priya Patel — two enterprise engineers who had spent a combined two decades building mission-critical systems for Fortune 500 companies. They watched firsthand as transformative AI and automation tools remained locked inside large corporations, inaccessible to the fast-growing businesses that needed them most.

Starting from a co-working space in Bangalore with a team of six, they set out to close that gap. The early years were about proving a single thesis: that a small, exceptionally talented team could deliver the same calibre of software as any large consultancy — faster, leaner, and with far greater ownership of outcomes.

Today, with 50+ engineers spread across India, Europe, and North America, Canny Technologies has delivered over 200 projects for clients in the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and beyond. Our stack has evolved with the AI revolution — from early RPA and workflow automation to sophisticated LLM integrations, multi-agent systems, and AI-native SaaS products.

Our founding philosophy remains unchanged: every business deserves software that works as hard as the people who built it.
