Niriksagara started with a practical challenge in Indonesia. Construction updates often rely on scattered photos and manual reports. The founders realized stakeholders needed a clearer way to view physical assets.

Later work with Indonesia’s creative economy agency mapped disaster zones. This revealed communities required help prioritizing repairs based on economic impact.

😟 Problem

Infrastructure teams often identify damaged roads or buildings but lack the data to prioritize fixes. Tight budgets force difficult decisions about maintenance schedules.

Managers struggle to assess how specific damage affects safety, market access, and local business activity. Without this context, repair funds may miss projects that deliver the greatest economic benefit.

💡 Solution

Niriksagara builds a priority engine that combines AI damage detection with economic impact analysis. The platform helps teams direct maintenance budgets toward critical repairs.

The software offers several core capabilities, including: 

• Converts drone footage and photos into damage maps and interactive 3D models.
• Identifies visible structural damage using AI.
• Ranks repair needs based on severity and proximity to essential services.
• Offers remote construction progress tracking through its Niri360 portal.

📊 Market size

The startup initially targets property developers, industrial estate operators, and construction companies in Indonesia. Bottom-up projections estimate an initial base of 150 customers.

At an average annual contract value of US$15,000, this scenario outlines a potential US$2.25 million in annual revenue. The projection assumes a five-year customer relationship, which would put lifetime revenue at US$75,000 per customer.
