Pernicia exists because the gap between AI prototypes and production AI in regulated industries is wider than most teams realize.
The company
Pernicia was founded in 2018 to address a specific gap: engineering teams in regulated industries — particularly BFSI — need production-grade AI and Cloud capabilities, not workshop demos or tutorial walkthroughs. The distance between a working prototype and a system that survives regulatory scrutiny, operational stress, and organizational scale is larger than most teams anticipate.
We work with engineering teams who carry the operational weight when something breaks at 2 AM. Our engagements end with artifacts they can maintain: code, architecture, runbooks, evaluation suites, and the knowledge transfer to use them.
Pernicia operates as two legal entities: Pernicia Private Limited (registered in India, 2018) and Pernicia Corp (registered in Canada, 2018). This dual structure enables us to work with clients across jurisdictions with appropriate legal and invoicing arrangements.
We currently operate across India, the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia), North America (Canada, US), and Europe. Native billing in INR, USD, CAD, and EUR.
pTeachTech runs as a separate leg of the business. Where our engagements prove and harden systems that already exist, pTeachTech teaches corporate engineering teams to build better agents themselves — structured programs delivered to the team, not open enrolment. It operates under its own brand at pteachtech.in.
Leadership
Abhir Jindal
Founder
Abhir founded Pernicia in 2018 and runs the commercial side of the firm: client relationships, partnerships, and the scoping conversation that happens before any work starts. He built the two-entity structure — Pernicia Private Limited in India, Pernicia Corp in Canada — so that clients across India, the Gulf, North America and Europe can contract and invoice in the jurisdiction that suits them rather than the one that suits us. He is usually the person who tells a prospect their problem is not one we should take on. That is deliberate. Scope discipline is easier to hold in the first conversation than on the third invoice.
Our values
Honest scope.
We will not claim what we have not done. Engagement scope, success criteria, and limits are written before kickoff and shared in writing.
Production-first.
We design for the second day in production, not the demo. Every engagement ends with artifacts that survive.
Vertical depth.
We decline engagements where our depth doesn't help. Saying "no" is part of how we deliver.
