A TRUE STORY, ILLUSTRATED

We were friends first.
The founders came much later.

Before the product. Before the plan.
There were just the three of us.

One school. One classroom.
A friendship that kept going.

01MAHENDERGARH, HARYANA

The first thing we built
was a friendship.

Different beginnings. Same school.
Eventually, the same classroom.

  2. 3rd class

    Now there were three.

Then came JEE.

Same benches.
Same goal.

No separate coaching. No grand plan. Just school, notebooks, and the three of us figuring out what came next.

When one of us got stuck,
the other two were there.

02DECEMBER 2020 · NIT KURUKSHETRA

College happened.
Just… through a screen.

For the first year and a half, COVID kept campus out of reach.
Somehow, we still made it feel like college.

College arrived. Campus would have to wait.

03CAMPUS, AT LAST

One scooter.
Three friends.
No destination.

When campus opened, college finally felt real. After every exam, we'd head out on Vivek's scooter—past the gates, towards the fields and the sunset.

Very Three Idiots. Very us.

Those rides had nothing to do with building a company.
That's exactly why they belong in this story.

KURUKSHETRA · AFTER THE EXAMS

JUNE 2024 · A CHANGE OF SCENE

KurukshetraGurugram

Three different jobs.
Still the same address.

We graduated, joined three different companies, and somehow landed in the same city. So, of course, we ended up living together again.

04THE UNEXPECTED BEGINNING

A CCTV camera.
A strange little trend.
A much bigger idea.

Vivek's brother runs a CCTV business. He saw products turning into talking characters on Instagram and said:

“I want something like this
for my business.”

So Vivek stitched together a few AI tools. A camera became a cartoon security guard, walking through a warehouse, talking about the product.

It was weird. It was specific.
It worked better than anything else on the page.

THE IDEA THAT STARTED IT

Small business.
Main character.
Illustrated recreation of the idea—not the original video.
SO VIVEK DID WHAT HE ALWAYS DOES — HE TOOK IT TO PARDHUM AND KULDEEP.

And the way we always do,
we figured it out together — for every business.

AND THEN, NARRIVA

One experiment.
A platform taking shape.

We built the first version together. Tested it on our own account and Vivek's brother's. Kept making it better.

Then we saw it: the same system that helped one business could help one person manage many.

05THE PEOPLE BEHIND NARRIVA

No fixed roles.
Just one team.

No mystery team behind a logo. We all build it, ship it, and talk
to the people who use it — no one sticks to just one thing.
