About Us
We’re building the AI-powered operating system we wish we’d had.
Gateway AI’s founders have seen it all. Raj Singh founded multiple deep tech companies and sold them to the likes of Google and Cisco for a combined value of more than $10 billion. Rajesh Ramchandani is a serial entrepreneur and Fortune 500 exec who has founded and sold startups in digital health and has led key initiatives at Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Cisco and Persistent Systems.
Singh and Ramchandani joined forces to launch Gateway AI with the goal of finally fixing the glaring operational gaps they’d experienced as startup executives and investors. The expensive, siloed platforms. The static cap tables. The inefficient board meetings. The costly consultants. They knew there was a better way.
They decided to build an ambitious AI-native operating system that would enable companies to get organized, make smarter decisions with real-time data, and plan for the future with complex scenario modeling. To create an industry-shaping platform on proprietary neuro-symobolic reasoning models, they partnered with Ajay Bhoj, a Princeton Ph.D specializing in large scale AI/ML, reinforcement learning, image processing, HPC and distributed systems.
Gateway AI is emerging out of stealth in January 2026 and entering a limited beta.
