Rao Information Technology

Rao Information Technology was founded in Gujarat, India, in 2016 and builds AI products and software for security, productivity, attendance tracking, and customer engagement. Led by Dr. Tirthraj Barot (Ph.D. in AI), the company has created over 30 digital products trusted by 350+ businesses, factories, retailers, schools, and government departments across India, Canada, and the UK. The firm designs on Jetson Orin and Intel edge devices, scales on Google Cloud, and positions itself around measurable ROI with typical payback in under 6 months.

Services and capabilities

Rao IT's flagship product is AI Bot Eye, an edge-AI system that upgrades existing CCTV networks to detect fire, smoke, intrusions, and PPE breaches in under 5 seconds. The system runs on-premise (no bandwidth drain), sends alerts via hooter, SMS, WhatsApp, or dashboard, and has detected fires at industrial sites like Rolex Rings Ltd., flagging flame detection in under 3 seconds across 100+ cameras simultaneously.

SuperSee is a lightweight employee activity monitoring tool that claims 35% average productivity lift in the first quarter. It captures live screencasts, automated screenshots, and app/website analytics, with offline logging and stealth-mode operation. The product is framed around transparency rather than surveillance.

WAppMaster automates WhatsApp marketing and customer engagement at scale, handling year-round campaigns, auto-replies, and chatbots with multi-number safety to avoid account bans. The company also offers free tools: WhatsApp Group Contact Extractor (exports group participants to CSV/Sheets), GSheets Connector (syncs WordPress posts and WooCommerce orders to Google Sheets), and Sheets2Discord (posts new rows or status changes to Discord channels).

For workforce management, Rao IT offers four attendance solutions. CICO uses GPS and face recognition for hybrid/remote/on-site verification with built-in payroll export. TapScan uses NFC/RFID tags and any Android device—no biometric hardware—with real-time Looker Studio dashboards and offline mode for low-connectivity sites. Attinder is a digital roll-call for classrooms. DeepScan scans existing ID cards (no QR codes) via regular camera with AI validation for fraud prevention.

Operational tools include Conduct (task/project management with Kanban, Gantt, time tracking, and automatic reminders), Assetrics (QR/NFC asset tracking with maintenance tickets and SLA monitoring), and TouchXplorer (locked-down kiosk software). The company also publishes a free On-Screen Keyboard for touch kiosks.

Education-specific products include Fees Module (on-premise school fee collection with direct bank integration and zero recurring charges from Rao IT), Rao Tutor AI (CBSE and GSEB curriculum-aligned lesson planning and mock exam generation for grades 7–10), LAN Screen Share (local network screen sharing for up to 120 concurrent viewers, no internet required), Examarks (free teacher markbook with instant Google Sheets sync), and Marksheet Generator (custom report cards mapped to a school's official format via Google Sheets).

How they work

Rao IT offers a 14-day free trial for SuperSee with no credit card required and demo bookings for AI Bot Eye. The company emphasizes drop-in integration with existing CCTV, PCs, and cloud stacks, scaling from single sites to multi-country enterprises. Products operate on both subscription and flat-fee models (e.g., TapScan charges a flat fee, CICO runs on subscription). Several tools are free: Rao Tutor AI, Examarks, WhatsApp Group Contact Extractor, GSheets Connector, Sheets2Discord, LAN Screen Share, and On-Screen Keyboard. The firm offers 24/7 SLA-backed support and maintains on-premise data privacy with ISO-9001 processes.
