Lotuslabs

Lotus Labs, Inc. was founded in 2015 to spin out innovative products. Its first product, Trill Cards, transferred data over sound for business-card exchange and graduated from Y-Combinator Startup School. After a beta program with Cushman and Wakefield, Trill Cards was placed on hiatus.

The company's current product, Padmé, is an Edge AI platform in a hyper-growth phase. Lotus Labs began offering client services after recognizing its expertise in product development.

The co-founders previously founded Mokriya in 2010. Mokriya worked with enterprises including Google, Intel, Twitter, and Verizon and was acquired by Nagarro, a publicly traded company.
