About

A computational science organisation for Indian research.

Riverains Labs provides simulation science and high-performance computing as Research-as-a-Service. We work with industrial R&D teams, academic groups, and public institutions that need modelling capacity without building a full laboratory of their own.

Mission

Centre for Interdisciplinary Simulation Research

Riverains Labs was founded to give Indian organisations reliable access to computational research. We design and run simulation programmes that sit between academic method and industrial delivery.

Much of modern discovery begins with models. We use mathematical formulation, HPC, and domain specialists to narrow questions before costly physical experiments are commissioned.

Clients engage us for defined studies or ongoing capacity. Work is scoped clearly, reviewed at agreed checkpoints, and handed over with documentation and transferable artefacts.

Modeled on Public Benefit Corporation, we build on open science and contribute back to community of researchers and developers. For the purposes of eventual commercialisation we carefully review the licenses of precursor softwares for compatibility with our goals.

We proudly base most of our workflows on in-house audited open-source scientific software. We also proudly contribute improvements upstream when we can, while commercially licensing selected algorithmic developments according to needs of our clients.

Swaroop Venkata Sai Kunapuli, PhD

Chief Scientist and Research Officer at Riverains Labs. Computational chemist focused on simulation for industry and complex systems, and on making computational R&D accessible across organisations of any scale.

Swaroop Venkata Sai Kunapuli, PhD is Chief Scientist and Research Officer of Riverains Labs Private Limited. Noticing the inertia against modernisation and consequent inefficient implementation of computational R&D projects in large institutions, and tight budgets limiting the scope of R&D in smaller newer organisations, he started this contract-research organisation to provide a cost-effective avenue for computational R&D projects for organisations of any quantum of market capitalisation.

Trained in computational chemistry with expertise in simulation of solvents and exotic systems, he is also interested in understanding and unravelling the characteristics of complex systems. Besides computational analysis of chemical, pharmaceutical and biological systems, Swaroop is currently working on projects associated with predictive maintenance of industrial systems, financial modelling and forecast, and simulation-driven policy formulation in the domains of healthcare, social services and (re)organisation of systems of agents.

He is passionate about deriving insights from messy correlated complex systems using the mathematical language and infrastructure for approximation and modelling developed in the last two centuries.
