About

Modern Industrials is building the AI workforce for distribution, starting with the $450B+ building materials industry. Co-founders Austin, Vatsal, and Ankit have known each other for decades. Vatsal and Ankit are brothers and Austin is their childhood best friend. The team combines deep technical and operational experience from McKinsey, Google (MLE), and xAI (MTS). Their first product (AI Sales Engine) transforms the back office from a manual cost center into a high-margin engine by automating quoting, order entry, and analytics. At scale, Modern Industrials seeks to become the end-to-end OS for distribution across the physical world.
