From zero to infinity: How Bhanu Srivastav risked everything to build India's AI revolution

In 2024, Bhanu Srivastav did something most people would call crazy. He left a stable banking job with no savings, no safety net—just an idea and a spark he refused to let die. That idea became INFINITY, a company now quietly bringing together some of the world’s brightest minds in AI, ML, IoT, and Blockchain. Most startups fail before they even begin, but Bhanu’s determination ensured his vision not only survived but thrived.

Bhanu is the most fearless person ever—a visionary who stares challenges in the face and turns them into opportunities. Building a company from nothing, he has proven that he can do anything. With his bold vision and groundbreaking work, he is set to become a dominant force in the field of technology.

The Hacker Who Chose the Right Path

Bhanu’s journey was never ordinary. Though he studied Mechanical Engineering, his heart was always in computers and hacking. While still in college, he interned at Hindalco, the world's largest aluminum producer under the Aditya Birla Group, as well as at BHEL, a Navratna company owned by the Government of India. After completing his studies, he joined Syndicate Bank, which later merged with Canara Bank.

As a teenager, he earned the nickname “The Sorcerer” on the dark web. While most hackers used different masks, he chose the Guy Fawkes mask—blending in yet standing apart. He still uses his iconic mask across all his social media platforms, maintaining the enigmatic persona that has become his signature.

Yet, instead of taking the wrong path, he used his hacking skills for good—helping people, exposing threats, and even disrupting terrorist networks. In 2020, he became a Certified Ethical Hacker under the EC-Council, USA. Then he earned his ISO 27001 Information Security Lead Auditor License from the British Standards Institution, United Kingdom. He also earned his CISA certification from the United States. He wasn’t just learning; he was mastering.

He was trained in Artificial Intelligence at the Administrative Staff College of India, Hyderabad, connecting with bureaucrats and IAS officers from all over India. His AI research was published in international journals.

While his bank colleagues saw him as just another employee, India’s top educational institutions recognized his rare talent. IITs, the National Centre for Innovation, and the Canara Institute of Bank Management (CIBM, formerly SIBM) frequently invited him as a guest lecturer on AI and emerging technologies. For most people, this would have been enough. But Bhanu was never interested in ‘enough.’ At the age of 33, he walked away from it all to build something bigger.

Brains Behind the Impossible

INFINITY started with Bhanu alone—no office, no investors—just a guy who believed he could build something from nothing. Then, one by one, people started joining. Not because of money, but because they believed in Bhanu’s vision.

Sometime later, Abhishek from IIT Madras, currently in Germany, joined INFINITY as a co-founder. A brilliant mind with a U.S. patent in regenerative AI, he has worked on self-healing materials and micro-nanofluidics. Next came Diwan from IIT Roorkee, who joined as the second co-founder. A former DRDO data scientist, he brought expertise from India’s top defense research organization to INFINITY.

Rachna from Delhi University became the third co-founder—an education and learning expert whose deep understanding of how humans absorb knowledge is helping shape INFINITY’s future. Soon after, Amit from IIT Guwahati, who is working on large cranial implants using AI, also joined the team.

From a single spark, INFINITY took root and soared. Talented minds from India, the U.S., the U.K., and Australia rallied behind the vision. In just a few months, thousands of hackers and coders from LinkedIn became part of the movement.

A Company That Actually Cares

INFINITY isn’t just another tech company; it’s redefining the way work should be. With a 4-day workweek, it ensures no one has to sacrifice life for a job. There are no after-hours calls or messages because personal time matters.

Its hiring approach is groundbreaking—no degrees, no experience, just pure talent. Here, resumes don’t matter; only skill and innovation do. If someone can build something great, they belong. It’s that simple.

Not Just Another Startup - A Movement

INFINITY isn’t just about AI, ML, IoT, and Blockchain—it’s about using technology to create real impact. Bhanu’s vision goes beyond building a successful company; he aims to harness innovation for the greater good.

With a team of exceptional minds like Rachna, Abhishek, Diwan, and Amit, INFINITY is not just shaping the future of tech but also making a meaningful difference in society.

And Now, Something Big Is Coming

Sources close to the company reveal that several secret projects are in the works, including a mysterious initiative that will be launched at IIT next month. While details are scarce, one thing is certain—Bhanu and his team are working on something big.

For Bhanu, this isn’t about fame. It’s about proving that anyone, no matter where they come from, can build something world-changing if they refuse to give up.

At such a young age, Bhanu has already achieved what most can only dream of and spend a lifetime pursuing. His journey is a reminder that success is not just about talent but about the courage to take risks and chase your dreams.

He’s built a company that’s shaking up the world of technology. His book, Deified: The Legacy of Yesterday, is already a bestseller. His music streams globally on Apple Music, Amazon Prime Music, Spotify, YouTube Music—and he’s just getting started!

For millions of young Indians trapped in jobs they don’t love, dreaming of something more but afraid to take the leap, Bhanu's story isn’t just inspiring—it’s a challenge to ask themselves: If not now, when?

This is not just his story. It’s a story for every dreamer, every struggler, every person who’s ever thought about giving up. Because if Bhanu can go from Zero to Infinity, why can’t you?
