NeoSapien: India's First AI-Native Wearable Redefining Human-AI Interaction

Founded in 2024 by cousins Dhananjay Yadav and Aryan Yadav, NeoSapien is an Indian startup pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence into wearable technology. Their flagship product, the Neo 1, is a pendant-style device designed to function as a "second brain," augmenting human memory, focus, and decision-making capabilities.

The Neo 1 is a sleek, screenless pendant equipped with microphones and sensors that capture and process real-world interactions. Operating on NeoSapien's proprietary Second Brain OS, the device offers features such as real-time conversation tracking, emotional analysis, task organization, and memory storage. Users can interact with the device through voice commands or a companion mobile app, facilitating a seamless integration into daily life.

Dhananjay Yadav brings experience from leading roles in companies like Razorpay, ClearTax, HomeLane, and Zalando. Aryan Yadav, an IIT-Madras alumnus, has worked with ICICI Bank and Siemens Technology. Their combined expertise in AI, hardware engineering, and user experience design has been instrumental in developing NeoSapien's innovative wearable technology.

NeoSapien gained significant attention after appearing on Shark Tank India Season 4, where the founders secured an investment of ₹80 lakh from Namita Thapar. This funding is aimed at scaling production, enhancing research and development, and expanding their user base. The startup has also attracted investments from notable figures such as Anupam Mittal, Sameer Mehta (co-founder of boAt), and Srivatsan Chari (co-founder of ClearTax).

Positioning itself as a pioneer in AI-native wearables, NeoSapien plans to expand globally by 2025. The company is part of programs like the Google AI Academy and Panasonic Ignition Program, which support its growth and innovation strategies. With a strong emphasis on user privacy, NeoSapien ensures that data ownership remains with the individual, setting a new benchmark in the AI wearables space.
