Built for the family
everyone forgot to build for.
Two founders. One name. A belief that every Indian family deserves world-class AI — not just the wealthy.
There are two founders.
One is Ne.
One is Ni.
The product is Neni.
Simple as that. Two people who believed that every Indian family deserves an AI as capable as the ones built for Silicon Valley executives — and decided to build it themselves.
Neni was not born in a boardroom.
It was born somewhere between a WhatsApp group and a hospital waiting room — which, if you are Indian, you will recognise immediately as two of the most chaotic and emotionally loaded places on earth.
The hospital waiting room: you are there because no one reminded Dad about his follow-up appointment. Because the medicine ran out and no one noticed. Because you were in four different apps trying to track five different things and everything slipped through the gap between them.
Ne and Ni sat with all of this. Not as a business problem. As a personal one.
They had seen their own parents struggle with medicine reminders and bills — not because they were not capable, but because no technology ever made it easy for them.
They had watched their children fall behind in school not from lack of intelligence, but from lack of access to the kind of patient, personalised explanation that a private tutor would give — if only they could afford one every day.
They had spent entire evenings switching between twelve apps to handle what should have been one simple family emergency. Gmail. WhatsApp. Paytm. PhonePe. Practo. Zerodha. A PDF. A calculator. A reminder that never fired.
And they had asked Siri. They had asked Alexa. They had asked Google.
None of them knew what BESCOM was. None of them had heard of Zerodha. None of them understood why a family of five in India does not operate as five individuals — it operates as one breathing, interdependent organism, held together by WhatsApp groups and a shared instinct to take care of each other.
The world’s most advanced AI had been built beautifully for someone else.

AI life assistants built India-first
The irony was not lost on Ne and Ni: the country that produces more software engineers than anywhere else on earth did not have a single AI life assistant built specifically for its own families.
The tools existed. The AI models were extraordinary. The APIs were open. The infrastructure was ready.
What was missing was someone who cared enough about the Indian family to connect it all — and build something that felt less like technology and more like having a brilliant, patient, always-available person in your corner.
That is the gap Neni was built to close.
Here is something Ne and Ni kept coming back to.
It looks like a CA who picks up the phone. A family doctor who remembers your parents’ medical history. A home tutor who comes every evening. A PA who tracks your calendar and filters your inbox.
These are not luxuries the wealthy enjoy because they are lucky. They are services that free up time, reduce anxiety, catch things before they become problems, and allow a family to function at its best.
Now consider the family that does not have those things — managing all of it themselves, while holding down careers and trying to remain present for the people they love. That family is the majority of India.
In 2025 and 2026, AI inference costs collapsed. The models became extraordinary. For the first time in history, it became possible to give every household — not just the wealthy one — access to the kind of intelligent, contextual, always-available assistance that used to require a full-time human being.
Neni is our answer to that moment.
This is not a compromise product at an affordable price. This is a world-class AI at a price every household in India can justify. AI as a household utility, not a luxury. That is the commitment.
We believe that world-class AI should not be a luxury.
Electricity was once a luxury. Then it became infrastructure. The mobile phone was once for the wealthy. Then it put a supercomputer in the pocket of a farmer in Bihar. AI is at that inflection point right now. Today. In 2026.
The question is not whether AI will eventually reach every household. It will. The question is who builds it for them — and whether the people who build it care enough to do it right for families who do not look like the ones in Silicon Valley pitch decks.
We believe that every Indian family — whether in Gurugram or Guwahati, whether in a 3BHK or a studio, whether managing a startup or raising children on a single income — deserves an AI that genuinely knows them, genuinely helps them, and genuinely makes their daily life lighter.
You say “Hey Neni.”
That is the beginning of every interaction. Two words. No unlocking. No searching. No switching between apps.
From there, Neni routes your request to one of twenty specialist agents — a doctor who explains your lab report in plain language, a finance advisor who reads your Zerodha portfolio and tells you what matters today, a teacher who generates a personalised lesson for your child from a single textbook page, a secretary who has already read your Gmail and WhatsApp and filtered out everything that does not need you.
At 7:30 in the morning, before you’ve had your chai, Neni gives you everything you need to know about your day in under two minutes — spoken clearly, in your language, from a voice you will come to recognise as the most reliable presence in your household.
At 9pm, it tells you what happened today, what still needs you tomorrow, and what you can let go of for the night.
In between, it is quietly watching — noticing that the electricity bill is due, that your mother’s medicine refill is running low, that your child has a school test on Friday, that the family WhatsApp group has three messages addressed to you that you haven’t seen yet.
This is not a feature. This is the product. The product is a relationship.
We know what we are asking you to trust us with.
Your family’s health records. Your investment portfolio. Your conversations. Your children’s learning. The private rhythm of your household.
Ne and Ni made a commitment to each other before writing a single line of code: the people who use Neni will always be its only customer. Never its product.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use your family’s conversations to train AI models. Your children’s data — especially — is handled with a standard of care that goes beyond what any regulation requires.
The wake word detection runs entirely on your device. No audio travels to any server until you finish saying “Hey Neni” and begin your command. This was a deliberate engineering choice. It costs more to build. We built it anyway.
Your data is yours. We are just the ones who make it useful.
RAGNES Technologies was founded with one operating principle: build technology that solves real problems for real Indian families, and build it to a standard that can stand next to anything built anywhere in the world.
The team behind Neni is small, intentional, and deeply familiar with the lives they are building for — because those are also their lives.
We are not building Neni from the outside looking in. We are building it from the inside — from the WhatsApp groups and the hospital waiting rooms and the midnight moments of wondering whether Dad took his medication and whether the school fee payment went through.
We built Neni because we needed it. We think you do too.
August 2026. Early access.
The first families are using Neni every day. Their morning briefs are running. Their children are learning. Their WhatsApp groups are being summarised. Their lab reports are being explained. Their portfolios are speaking to them every morning before the markets open.
We are watching closely. We are listening harder. Every piece of feedback from this early group is shaping what Neni becomes — not as a feature roadmap item, but as a conversation between builders and the people they are building for.
If you are reading this during early access — thank you for being here at the beginning. You are not just an early user. You are part of what Neni becomes.
If you are reading this later: welcome. The door is open. It always will be.
We started with a simple observation:
We built Neni to be the help that was always missing. Not to replace the warmth, the chaos, or the love — but to take the weight of logistics off the people who are already carrying enough.
We also made a decision that every investor we have spoken to has questioned at least once: we priced Neni to be affordable on purpose. Not as a growth tactic. As a genuine belief that if Neni only reaches the top five percent of Indian households, we have failed.
The family earning ₹50,000 a month needs Neni as much as the one earning ₹5,00,000. Their time is just as valuable. Their children’s education matters just as much.
₹399 is not a compromise. It is the point.
Your time is the most finite thing you have. We just want to give you more of it — and make sure that statement is true for every Indian household, not just the comfortable ones.
Founders, Neni
