Rajat Singhania is set to revolutionize digital information management with yunify.ai, an integrated platform designed to consolidate notes, files, and communications into one secure space.
Rajat Singhania, a seasoned entrepreneur, is on a mission to reshape the landscape of digital information management. After experiencing a personal data-loss incident that highlighted significant gaps in how organized information is handled in business, he founded HyLyt. With over three decades of entrepreneurial experience, Singhania is now preparing to launch yunify.ai, a platform that aims to bring together scattered notes, messages, files, and media into one secure and integrated space.
Singhania’s impressive accolades include being recognized in the “Greatest Business Minds of the Decade” by Firdouz Hameed, receiving the NASSCOM SME Inspire Award in 2023, and being named one of the Top Influential Business Leaders of 2024 by The Times of India. In 2025, he graced the cover of The Enterprise World magazine as a Visionary Leader.
yunify.ai is gearing up for its launch, promising to simplify how users manage their digital lives. The platform consolidates notes, files, tasks, and conversations into one organized space, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked and productivity flows naturally. In an exclusive interview with The American Bazaar, Singhania elaborated on his vision for this innovative AI model.
Singhania, originally from New Delhi, India, is currently based in Baroda, Gujarat. He completed his schooling at St. Columba’s in New Delhi and graduated from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) in Delhi. After finishing his education, he moved to Gujarat about 33 years ago, where he has spent the majority of his professional life.
As a first-generation entrepreneur, Singhania has been in business for over 35 years. He has established six businesses, sold two, closed one, and currently owns three. His oldest venture is a 29-year-old cement distribution business, which has maintained a top-three position in the region for over a decade. He also runs a 25-year-old IT services company that caters to U.S. clients. His latest endeavor, HyLyt, is set to evolve into yunify.ai, marking his entry into the tech startup arena.
When asked about the motivation behind creating HyLyt 3.0, which will be launched as yunify.ai, Singhania explained that the previous versions did not incorporate AI. The upcoming iteration will feature enhanced security, a modern interface, and a robust AI layer, making it competitive in global markets such as the U.S., Singapore, and the UAE.
Singhania detailed the evolution of the product from HyLyt to yunify.ai. HyLyt 1.0 was initially a B2C product focused on communication and information management. The second version transitioned to a B2B model, emphasizing security as a critical business need. The latest version, yunify.ai, will introduce an AI layer along with improved security features.
Regarding funding, Singhania shared that the company has been bootstrapped thus far, with a small round of investment from friends and family. They are currently raising $1.5 million in their first seed round and have already secured commitments totaling about $500,000. Once this funding round is closed, they plan to accelerate their growth.
Singhania outlined how the raised capital will be allocated. Approximately 25-30% will be dedicated to product enhancement, while 5-10% will go toward intellectual property development. The company already holds two granted U.S. patents and two in India, with a patent pending in Singapore. The remaining 60% will focus on customer acquisition and market penetration, starting with the U.S. and expanding to Singapore and the UAE.
yunify.ai’s mission is clear: to become the default platform for information management. Singhania envisions a future where, just as WhatsApp is synonymous with communication and Zoom is recognized for meetings, yunify.ai will be the go-to solution for managing information. He noted that information is often scattered across various emails, devices, and platforms, and yunify.ai aims to consolidate everything into one accessible location.
The journey of yunify.ai unfolds in three parts: yuniTALK, a secure all-in-one suite for business communication and collaboration; yuniVAULT, which redefines institutional memory by allowing admins to retrieve everything done through a corporate account on any device or cloud; and yunify.ai itself, which features an AI intelligence layer for smart categorization, tagging, and management.
Initially, yunify.ai will utilize existing pre-trained large language model (LLM) modules to manage costs. Once customer needs are validated, the company plans to develop its own AI modules in a subsequent funding round, aiming to raise between $8 million and $10 million.
While there will not be a free version of yunify.ai, individual users can expect a 15 to 30-day free trial. Organizations can also reach out for custom trials tailored to their specific size and needs.
When discussing competition, Singhania emphasized that achieving what yunify.ai offers would require six different products, including note-taking apps, file management systems, calendars, to-do tools, video conferencing solutions, and collaboration platforms. He believes that while products like Notion or ClickUp address parts of these functionalities, none achieve complete integration, which is where yunify.ai’s patented technology provides a distinct advantage.
Singhania highlighted the key features covered under their patents, which include simplified saving of information, meta-tag connectivity for interlinked data, advanced filtering for intuitive information retrieval, and leakage control to restrict recipients from resharing sensitive information.
Looking ahead, Singhania envisions yunify.ai becoming the WhatsApp of information management. He expressed confidence that, similar to how Zoom has become the standard for video calls, yunify.ai will emerge as the leading platform for managing and accessing information.
As for the U.S. market, Singhania confirmed that they have begun building partnerships and are engaged in discussions across multiple markets. The team includes advisors based in the U.S. and Singapore, in addition to India. While he could not disclose specific names, he indicated that success stories will be shared once yunify.ai goes live in January.
