About NeoRishi
A NeoRishi is the clearest version of you.
Rooted in old wisdom, curious like a scientist, fully part of today’s world. NeoRishi is building tools to help people move toward that version of themselves, one meaningful step at a time.
Why now
Most of us carry more information about our health, time and goals than any generation before. It arrives in fragments, from separate apps, and rarely in context.
Technology can now bring those fragments together. The question is whether it can do that while staying transparent, respecting consent and leaving the decisions with you. NeoRishi is built around that question.

Connect with Hrishikesh on LinkedIn (opens in a new tab)I started NeoRishi from a fairly simple frustration.
We have access to more knowledge about health, psychology, productivity and well-being than ever before. I experienced something similar while studying Yoga and Indian Knowledge Systems: there is no shortage of wisdom either.
Yet knowing more does not necessarily make living better any easier.
Most digital tools solve one small part of life. They track sleep, tasks, habits or meditation separately. Much of the advice we receive is generic. At the same time, many older systems contain ideas with real depth, but they are often difficult to translate into an ordinary modern day.
I kept returning to one question:
Could technology help us understand ourselves more clearly without trying to make our decisions for us?
NeoRishi grew from that question.
I am building it as a bridge between Indian Knowledge Systems, contemporary science and modern technology. Not because these are the same thing, but because each can help us ask better questions about how we live.
The ambition is large. The experience should remain simple:
Understand yourself a little better. See what matters now. Take one meaningful step.

See the whole picture before trying to improve any part of it.
Rules choose, AI explains
Guidance comes from transparent rules; AI only helps put it into words.

Private by default
Ask for the least, explain why, never sell what you share.
