Carlos Nicholas Fernandes (born 1976) is an inventor, founder and CEO of InstantTV, a service that offers Cloud DVR.
[10][11] For his work, Fernandes was recognized by David Lim, the then Singaporean Minister for Information, Communications, and the Arts in 2003.
[12] Fernandes purchased the assets of RecordTV.com, and added in technology that he had invented and patented in 2006 (along with Varsha Jagdale),[1] in a way that would not violate the rights of copyright owners.
[13] This allowed RecordTV users to legally record TV shows,[3][14] something which the original company had been sued for by the MPAA.
[19][20] In 2017, Fernandes launched Blaze, an AI-based conversational news bot (chatbot) that was enhanced through human curation, in India.
