Day 1 of the AI Impact Summit turned to be a pain for us.
I came genuinely excited, it was the first time the summit was being hosted in India, and I wanted to show up personally to support the ecosystem and the government’s push.
But what happened next was shocking.
At 12 noon, security personnel arrived to sanitise and cordon off the area ahead of the visit by PM Modi visit at 2pm.
I explained that we’re building India’s first patented AI wearable at NeoSapien and requested a chance to showcase it.
One officer told others to let me stay, and they left.
Then another group came and ordered us to leave immediately. Seemed like there was lack of co-ordination between the security itself.
I asked: “Should we take our wearables?”
They said, others are leaving even laptops behind, security will take care.
Trusting them, I left. Hoping that the wearables will be safe, and If I am lucky, it might catch the eye of PM Modi.
Gates were closed from 12–6pm. Much much longer than expected.
Later we found out that our wearables were stolen.
Think about this: We paid for flights, accommodation, logistics and even the booth. Only to see our wearables disappear inside a high-security zone.
If only security and official entourage had access, how did this happen?
This is extremely disappointing.

P.S. We are building Neo 1, a wearable AI that remembers your conversations and creates a digital "Second Brain".
Start your week with a spark and a new ScalerPod episode!
We sat down with @aryeian, Co-founder & CTO at @neosapien_xyz and hosted by @jiten, SVP Engineering at @JioCinema.
It explores the real future of AI companions and building new-age startups today.

I wore the Neo-1 AI pendant for a week - sharing a detailed review below:
Neo-1 was launched by Neosapien - a startup which featured on Shark Tank India. They raised money from Angel investors to build the first few units.
I met the founders in BLR exactly a year ago - was surreal to use the actual product which they had spoken about; my review ⤵️
Let’s talk about consent—especially for those around Neo 1 users. We took transparency seriously by blending the trust light with the logo, intentionally making it the most attractive and visible part of the design. When Neo 1 is active, it’s impossible to miss. Trust is built into every detail. 💡 #Neo1 #EthicalTech
When your investor believes in your vision as much as you do, magic happens. Watch this powerful message from @AnupamMittal about why Neo 1 feels magical!
