Our Story

Indrio Technologies Inc. was founded in 2016 by Dr. Rito Sur, after finishing his PhD from the prestigious Hanson Research Group at Stanford.

Starting vision
We cannot control what we cannot measure. A leading cause of inefficiency in our current society is the dismal lack of portable, and highly accurate chemical sensors. During his PhD, Dr. Sur realized that the industry uses decades-old or even in some cases centuries-old methods to quantify chemical concentrations. Indrio seeks to bring in the power of modern laser-based spectroscopy to mass-market applications.
