About Us

DefectScan AI is building intelligent inspection technology to help property owners, housing providers, and operators manage risk, compliance, and safety with confidence.

Traditional property inspections are manual, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. Reports vary by inspector, evidence is fragmented, and compliance risks often surface only after problems escalate. As regulations tighten across the UK housing sector, this approach is no longer sustainable.

DefectScan AI replaces manual inspection processes with artificial intelligence that analyses images, inspection data, and property conditions to identify defects early, assess risk accurately, and generate audit-ready insights.

Our platform is designed for real-world operations. It supports large property portfolios, enables consistent inspection standards, and helps teams prioritise maintenance actions based on evidence rather than opinion.

DefectScan AI was founded by Nivedhaa Babu and Jithin Jayakumar. Nivedhaa leads product and operations, bringing deep understanding of property workflows, compliance, and inspection processes, while Jithin leads finance and data strategy, with experience in analytics, risk management, and regulated systems.

Together, the founders combine practical property knowledge with strong data and financial discipline to build a scalable, UK-focused inspection intelligence platform.
