Technology has always revolutionised the way we work, live and play; consider computers, smartphones and more. I truly believe that augmented reality is the next frontier in computing and is already on the rise. AR will shape how humans live, communicate and collaborate. Having watched this space closely, AjnaLens is now at its inflection point and is about to follow an exponential growth trajectory due to the traction we have seen in the Indian market. I have complete faith in the AjnaLens Team that they will create this future for the world, starting from India.
Extended reality is the direction that I think is far more interesting and promising — for technology and, really, for humanity alike. I truly think that AjnaLens is now building the best backend solution for the most frontend industry of all time. They have already proven their mantle by developing very high-quality AR products for the defence sector.
I met team Ajnalens in 2016 and the vision was on the drawing board. I saw the team had dreams to make the vision into reality. I invested in the team believing in their ability to adapt and willingness to learn and change. And that stands out as one of their biggest strengths. The future of knowledge work is remote and AjnaLens is accelerating this transition with their vibrant team.
