Gurugram-based startup Staqu Technologies has partnered with the Nagpur Police to introduce SIMBA (System Integrated for Monitoring and Big-data Analysis), an AI-powered tool designed to bolster law enforcement capabilities in Nagpur. 

SIMBA, integrated with Staqu's proprietary JARVIS platform, leverages a digitised database of 150,000 criminals to provide real-time, customised information based on specific prompts. 

The tool utilises advanced features such as facial recognition and speaker identification to deliver swift and accurate data from various sources, including CCTV feeds, images, and audio. 

SIMBA can identify individuals by analysing their voice patterns and facial features. It also leverages Crime GPT which was previously used by UP police to catch criminals. 

Crime GPT uses LVM and LLM-based AI models to analyse video, document, and audio data, facilitating faster retrieval of criminal information and aiding ongoing investigations.

Dr Ravinder Singal, Commissioner of Police, Nagpur, remarked on the benefits of SIMBA, noting, "This AI-powered tool will not only enhance public security but also improve our efficiency in maintaining law and order by providing real-time alerts and streamlining investigative processes." 

Staqu Technologies, founded in 2015 and based in Gurgaon and provided its advanced AI technology for security at the G20 Summit held in Delhi in 2023. Staq also made headlines during COVID-19 by introducing JARVIS for thermal camera solution and contactless attendance system.
