#113: #AIRadarDaily — Singulr AI
Somewhere inside every large enterprise right now, there is a CISO who cannot sleep. AI has arrived not through a careful, centralized rollout, but through a thousand quiet side doors. A marketer pastes a customer list into ChatGPT, an engineer spins up an agent with unreviewed permissions, and a legacy SaaS tool ships an embedded AI feature that defaults to "on". The policy document exists, beautifully written and board-approved, but nobody can actually prove it holds in the real world. Security teams see risk, IT sees an accelerator, and the gap between what a company says about AI and what is actually happening grows wider every single day.
It takes an exceptional level of infrastructure expertise and structural discipline to look at this invisible chaos and build a system that restores true control. That is precisely what Shiv Agarwal and Abhijit Sharma are doing with Singulr AI.
Shiv and Abhijit — the seasoned team behind Arkin Net, which was acquired by VMware — are building across Palo Alto and Pune. With Singulr, they are pioneering the unified AI control plane for the enterprise, turning theoretical policy into absolute runtime reality.
The architecture under the hood is deeply thoughtful and pragmatic. Singulr first discovers everything, routinely surfacing 500+ AI services, public tools, and in-house agents already active within a company's stack. Then, it performs the much harder task: it enforces. Through a natural-language policy engine, Singulr compiles governance intent into real, unbreakable boundaries. It redacts sensitive data before exposure, catches prompt injections in the act, and maps agent topologies via Agent Pulse™ to scan Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for vulnerabilities. This is security fundamentally built for the agentic era, not retrofitted to it.
The true moat here is that Singulr refuses the assumed trade-off between safety and speed. It doesn't slow innovation down to check a box. By replacing anxiety with tamper-evident evidence that leaders can confidently take to a regulator or a board, Singulr cuts internal approval times from weeks to hours and slashes operational drag by 80%. It replaces a culture of quiet fear with a quiet, reliable sense of clarity.
The market? CISOs, CIOs, and compliance leaders at enterprises like RingCentral, Delta Dental, and KVC Health Systems — anyone whose job is to say yes to AI velocity without betting the entire company on it.
Shiv and Abhijit are true change agents. They looked at the most anxious corner of the AI boom and chose to solve it as rock-solid infrastructure. Watching our homegrown founders build the core trust layer that the global agentic era will run on is a wonderful reminder of the larger, unfinished agenda we are all part of. They are giving enterprises their momentum back.
Let's celebrate the builders.
