What they do

Miraii makes smart rings for wellness, safety, and health tracking

It was selected for IIT Bombay's ATMAN 3.0 accelerator and got a ₹9 lakh grant

The startup targets a July 2026 launch and plans to seek medical-device approvals

Miraii was selected for IIT Bombay's ATMAN 3.0 accelerator program.
It also received a NIDHI PRAYAS government grant of around ₹9 lakh for its initial prototype.
The startup is developing three smart ring product lines: Elai Smart Ring, Fearless Star, and Fearless Pro.
Elai Smart Ring is an AI-powered voice companion that offers wellness insights, guided meditation, and anxiety management.
Fearless Star is designed for senior citizens and includes fall detection and an SOS system.
Fearless Pro is for women and tracks menstrual cycles, fertility, and has an SOS feature that shares real-time location.
All products are currently in development; demo units are being manufactured.
Miraii targets a tentative launch around July 2026, initially positioning the rings as wellness products.

The idea for Miraii came from founder Anupama Bhat's parents' falls at home when no one else was around.
Research showed widespread falls among senior citizens in India.
Smart rings are preferred over smartwatches because they are lightweight, discreet, comfortable for continuous wear, and have longer battery life.
Hardware startups face challenges like importing high-precision components, customs issues, expensive small prototype batches, and cash flow management.
Globally, women-led startups receive only about 2% of venture capital funding, and women-centric products are often seen as niche.

Elai Smart Ring is an AI-powered voice companion and personal assistant that provides wellness insights like heart rate, sleep, and health data.
It also offers guided meditation and anxiety management features.
Fearless Star targets senior citizens with fall detection and an SOS system that can be triggered automatically via motion sensors or manually.
Fearless Pro is designed for women and includes menstrual cycle tracking, fertility insights, and an SOS feature that shares real-time location with emergency contacts.
All products are currently in development; demo units are being manufactured and hardware-software integration is in progress.
The company plans to initially position the rings as wellness products and later work toward regulatory approvals like CDSCO or FDA clearances to become a medical-grade device.
