With the wearable AI market projected to soar to an astonishing USD 138.5 billion by 2029? That’s not just a buzzword—it’s a revolution in how we interact with technology. At the heart of this revolution is NeoSapien, leading the charge is its groundbreaking innovation. Founded in 2024 by Dhananjay Yadav and Aryan Yadav, NeoSapien has introduced Neo 1—India’s first-ever AI-native wearable. This sleek and groundbreaking device, referred to as a “Second Brain,” seamlessly integrates AI into daily life, offering real-time conversation tracking, emotional insights, task organization, and infinite memory.
Shark Tank India 4 proved to be a milestone moment for NeoSapien when the co-founders secured a remarkable INR 80 Lakhs from Namita Thapar, a veteran Shark and one of India’s most influential business leaders. The team is also in discussions with institutional investors in India and the US for their seed round. Namita’s investment brings not only financial backing but also invaluable mentorship, expansive networks, and deep market insights, positioning NeoSapien for exponential growth.
Adding to their impressive network of support, NeoSapien boasts an esteemed founding advisor in Anupam Mittal, a stalwart of India’s startup ecosystem. Alongside him are visionary investors such as Sameer Mehta, co-founder and CEO of boAt; Srivatsan Chari, co-founder of Clear; Tanuj Choudhry and Srikanth Iyer, co-founders of HomeLane; and Untitled Ventures, renowned for backing transformative startups. As Anupam Mittal puts it “I don’t just back good ideas—I back bold ones. When two boys from India came to me with a vision to create the world’s first AI-native neckwear, I thought, ‘This is crazy, and maybe it’s exactly what the world needs.”
NeoSapien’s innovative edge lies in its proprietary Second Brain OS, which powers Neo 1 to go beyond conventional wearables. Unlike static apps or gadgets, Neo 1 learns, adapts, and evolves with its users, capturing fleeting moments and transforming them into actionable insights. To this Sameer Mehta says “NeoSapien is fundamentally changing how we interact with technology. By creating a wearable that’s not just reactive but learns and adapts to you, they’re pioneering a new category of AI companions.”
NeoSapien’s journey is one of audacious innovation. The funds from Shark Tank will fuel the launch of its initial production batches, expand R&D capabilities, and foster a community of early adopters. Global expansion by 2025 remains a key focus, with partnerships like those with Google AI Academy, Panasonic Ignition Program, and Deepgram Startup Program enhancing their vision of making “Second Brain” technology a global standard.
A commitment to user privacy and trust underscores their mission. By ensuring data ownership remains with the user, they are setting new benchmarks in privacy in AI.
NeoSapien isn’t just shaping the future—it’s ensuring that the future feels uniquely personal, intuitive, and human. With the backing of visionary leaders and investors, the brand is poised to redefine wearable technology and human-AI interaction for generations to come.
