Team

We’re two young entrepreneurs from Southeast Asia. While working on a side project — a pickleball detection app for Ganesh’s sports club — we realized how difficult it is to prototype with computer vision models. Existing pipelines are cumbersome to set up, hard to experiment with, and heavily reliant on local GPUs. That gap led us to create Zapdos — a video infrastructure purpose-built for the AI-first world.

Ganesh R — CEO

I’m Ganesh, a repeat VC-backed founder and Antler alum with over 10 years of experience in AI, video infrastructure, and surveillance systems. I previously led video operations at 90 Seconds and built AI-powered growth tools at Firebond. My work has supported companies reaching more than 500,000 users.

With Zapdos, I’m reimagining how we store, search, and use audiovisual data for modern AI workflows.

Tri Nguyen — CTO

Hi, I’m Tri. I specialize in large-scale AI video infrastructure with a background in Machine Intelligence (Msc). I’ve been an Antler VN3 fellow, a Deakin academic scholar, and have worked across gaming (Ubisoft), fintech, and AI R&D.

The next decade will be an exciting one, as humans and humanoids begin to collaborate more deeply. I’m excited to build the next generation of video infrastructure for AI and robotics to help power that future.

In my free time, I play chess and keep expanding my manga collection.
