Invences, a telecommunications automation startup founded in 2023 by Bhaskara Rallabandi and his wife Lakshmi, helps small businesses design, build, and deploy advanced wireless and private networks without requiring deep technical expertise. Rallabandi, a veteran of Verizon, AT&T, and Samsung with two decades of telecom experience, built the company to fill gaps that major carriers overlook when serving small enterprises, farms, factories, and underserved communities. The self-funded company now employs about 100 people and serves more than 50 customers globally, offering cost-effective alternatives to traditional network deployment and management.
