I grew up in a small village in India.
We didn’t have much, but I had something that shaped everything that came after. I watched my father build his own business from scratch.
No playbook. No shortcuts. Just persistence.
That’s where it started for me.
I knew early on I wanted to build something of my own.
Fast forward to today. I’m excited to share that we’ve been building
Quark Labs and we are generating revenue and we’re coming out of stealth.
The problem we’re going after is simple to describe, but very hard to solve.
Most of the world’s important data is still locked away.
Not in clean APIs.
Not in modern data stacks.
But in documents, legacy systems, on-prem environments, and workflows that were never designed for AI.
And that data is exactly what businesses rely on to operate.
We’re building
Quark Labs to unlock that.
Not just extracting text, but turning complex, regulated data into structured, usable knowledge.
Connecting documents, systems, and workflows into something that can actually be queried, automated, and trusted.
Because the goal is not just better data.
It is faster decisions.
Automated workflows.
Real business outcomes.
For me, this is not new.
At
CloudHealth, I worked on building data platforms that helped organizations understand and act on their data.
At
Starburst, I saw how powerful it is when you can query data across systems without moving it.
Quark is a continuation of that journey, but focused on the hardest data of all.
The kind that does not fit neatly into tables.
The kind that lives in documents.
The kind that AI still struggles to use.
I am not building this alone.
I am lucky to be building this with my co-founder
Alex Breshears, who shares the same obsession around solving hard, real-world data problems.
And along the way, we have had incredible support from advisors
Justin Borgman Dan Parelskin Tom Axbey, early believers, and customers who pushed our thinking, challenged our assumptions, and helped shape what Quark is becoming.
We are early. Still learning every day.
But we are already seeing what happens when this data becomes accessible.
Work that used to take weeks now takes minutes.
That is what keeps us going.
Also, a huge thank you to the people who helped shape Quark along the way.
Justin Borgman Tom Axbey Dan Parelskin Sanjeev Mohan Manu Cohen-Yashar Rick Grinnell Alex Benik Will Lehmann Naresh H. Singh, CISSP Abhi Banerjee Boone Quesnel Bryan Offutt Kevin Haley Brian Shealey Erin "Dizzy" Underwood Nick Stevens Harrison Johnson and many many more folks.
I consider myself very lucky and your support, feedback, and belief made this possible.
If your team is spending hours and thousands of dollars extracting usable data from documents, legacy systems, or air-gapped environments where privacy matters, we should talk.
Let’s build.
