Adityavardhan Agrawal is an Indian-American entrepreneur and software engineer who is the co-founder and CEO of Morphik (formerly DataBridge), an open-source multimodal search infrastructure company backed by Y Combinator (X25 batch). Morphik develops technology that enables AI applications to accurately search, extract, and reason over complex documents containing charts, diagrams, and tables.[1]
Early life and education
Agrawal earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University. After graduating, he pursued a career in software engineering with a focus on distributed systems and large-scale data infrastructure.
Career
Before founding Morphik, Agrawal worked as an engineer at MongoDB Inc., where he contributed to the development and scaling of the company's core query engine. His work at MongoDB focused on distributed systems and was credited with enhancing customer impact and driving adoption across MongoDB's enterprise user base.[2] Agrawal is also a member of the Forbes Business Council, through which he has contributed written commentary on technical topics including rules-based ingestion systems for AI applications.[3]
Morphik
Agrawal co-founded Morphik in 2025 alongside Arnav Agrawal. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and was initially operated under the name DataBridge before rebranding to Morphik. Morphik builds open-source multimodal search infrastructure designed to help businesses centralize their knowledge and build AI agents that avoid hallucinations, a common problem in large language model applications in which the system generates inaccurate or fabricated information.[4]
The platform provides capabilities for document ingestion, structured information extraction, querying, knowledge graph visualization, and research. Morphik targets enterprises working with visually rich and technically complex documents, serving customers in sectors including space technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government. The company reports achieving 96% accuracy on complex document evaluation benchmarks, compared to approximately 67% for traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, though this figure derives from the company's own internal assessments and has not been independently verified.
Morphik was accepted into Y Combinator's Spring 2025 (X25) batch.[5] In May 2025, the company raised a $500,000 seed round with participation from Y Combinator, Alt Capital, Fuel Capital, and Haystack.[6]
