Limen Leap Labs was started in 2019. Initially at Navi Mumbai, India. In 2022, the office was migrated to Kerala, the southern state of India.
The founder is an architect; Sabu Francis, who works both in real world spaces as well as architecting cyberspace. His office was one of the first (possibly the very first in India) architects office which was active in computing too. The architectural office was started in 1987 before he became 26 years of age. As nobody would really join an unknown architect, he rolled up his sleeve and worked on the theories behind architecture designing. This led to a breakthrough in the mathematics of architecture representation. Using that theory, he wrote a design software for architecture (called TAD) -- one of the precursors of BIM (Building Information Modelling) TAD is the oldest AI based design software in the world, still in use.
He also got the 1991 Special JIIA Award for his work. Subsequently, his (architects) office did several important projects -- including most architecture and interior projects of Konkan Railway and several other prestigious and demanding clients.
The IT division of the office furthered several innovations in the IT field -- including one of the first use of Ajax for creating Javascript driven dynamic websites (In fact, Ajax had not yet appeared. The innovation was based on Javascript squirrelled away into zero size frames), one of the first PDF creation systems, a Prolog based language to develop web applications, a Journal management system, India's first XML and HTML editor and many other innovations. The core investigation that was happening in the background was to use TAD to fuel applications on the web, that used architecture concepts using graphics.
This innovative insights on how we believe life has to happen in both real world spaces as well as cyberspace played a key role for the formation of Limen Leap Labs
