Eka (एक) — Sanskrit for “one”.
Eka builds AI that works where you are — on your desk, in your bag, on your own computer — instead of somewhere far away on a server you’ll never see.
Founded by Aaradhy Badjatya ↗(01) The idea
Most AI lives in someone else’s building. Eka builds the other kind: AI that sits on your desk, fits in your bag, runs on the computer you already own, and keeps working when the Wi-Fi doesn’t. One company. One idea. Done properly.

Who is also the CEO, the engineer, the designer and the support desk.
Buddie, a study box that never goes online. Gullu, an AI pet that lives on your PC.
Both products work with the internet switched off. The cloud is optional, not a dependency.
Ø2.25 mm, staggered, measured straight from the CAD file. It breathes; it does not phone home.
Fix grammar, explain errors, tidy files, research — from any app with Ctrl + Alt + Space.
Filed in India for Buddie. Paperwork: also built by hand.
(04) The workshop
Paper first. If it doesn’t make sense as a doodle, it won’t make sense as a product.
Every part modelled to the tenth of a millimetre. The case is the spec.
Printed, sanded, printed again. The bin of failed prints is the real R&D budget.
Models squeezed onto small chips, until they answer fast enough to feel instant.
Into a real bag, onto a real desk, used by real people. Then back to step one.
(05) Principles
If it can run on the device, it runs on the device. The internet is an option, not a dependency.
Shortcuts, push-to-talk buttons and plain answers. Not dashboards.
From the 3D-printed case to the last keyboard shortcut, everything is designed and built in-house — which is to say, by the founder.
