    Products & Services

    1
    Drift (CLI Tool)
    2025

    An AI copilot command-line tool for building, testing, and debugging robot simulations using natural language prompts. Handles ROS setups, URDF files, and simulator orchestration.

    Market Position

    AI-native developer tool specifically for robotics simulation, differentiating from general-purpose AI coding tools by its deep awareness of ROS and simulator states.

    Leadership

    Founders

    NK

    Nikhil Kumar

    Co-founder at Drift (backed by Antler). Previously Co-founder at benny (AI shopping). Former Senior Systems Engineer at Qualcomm. IIT Roorkee alumni (2017-2021).

    SJ

    Sanjil Jain

    Co-founder at Drift (backed by Antler). Previously Co-founder at benny (AI shopping). Building AI copilot for robotics for over 10 years. IIT Roorkee alumni.

    Executive Team

    NK

    Nikhil Kumar

    Co-founder

    Former Senior Systems Engineer at Qualcomm. Co-founded benny before Drift.

    SJ

    Sanjil Jain

    Co-founder

    Experienced in robotics development for over a decade. Previously co-founded benny.

    Founding Story

    In college, the founders tried building robots but spent 90% of their time wrestling with simulation setups and runtime issues. This experience led them to build Drift, an AI-native tool that automates simulation development, letting engineers focus on building robots rather than debugging simulation software.

    Business Model

    Revenue Model

    Likely SaaS or usage-based pricing for the AI-powered CLI tool (not publicly detailed).
