Constraint reasoning, from research lab to AI agents

Predictika builds a patented constraint-based engine rooted in a lineage that runs from Xerox PARC through Selectica, the enterprise CPQ pioneer. Its modeling language, LVML, lets sub-entities inherit both parameters and constraints from the structures that contain them, a direct descendant of that PARC work.

  1. 1982–1990

    Xerox PARC

    Research in AI and constraint reasoning, including founding papers on product configuration.

  2. Selectica · IPO 2000

    Enterprise CPQ

    Founded, with engineering led until 2002 and Dr. Mittal as CEO 2002–2003. Went public in 2000 at about $5 billion. Customers included IBM, Cisco, Dell, GE, Hitachi, Disney, Samsung, Anthem, Aetna, AT&T and BMW.

  3. 2008–2009

    Back at PARC

    A second stretch of research, bringing the total to about ten years.

  4. Predictika

    Validation for AI agents

    Constraint reasoning applied to LLM-driven systems, with patents on deterministic validation.

Dr. Sanjay Mittal

Founder and CEO

Dr. Mittal is the founder and CEO of Predictika. He was a research scientist at Xerox PARC from 1982 to 1990 and again in 2008 and 2009, about ten years in all, with pioneering work in artificial intelligence and constraint reasoning, including founding papers on product configuration.

He founded Selectica, led its engineering until 2002 and served as CEO from 2002 to 2003. He led development of its enterprise CPQ platform and invented its configuration engine. Selectica went public in 2000 at about $5 billion. Its customers included IBM, Cisco, Dell, GE, Hitachi, Disney, Samsung, Anthem, Aetna, AT&T and BMW.

At Predictika he has carried the constraint-based approach into the era of large language models. He holds more than ten patents (six at Selectica, two at Predictika, and at least four at Kiffets, all in machine learning) and has authored more than twenty publications. He earned a B.Tech. from IIT Kanpur and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
