Rajaraman Srinivasan
Rajaraman Srinivasan is the founder of Neoware Technology Solutions. He founded the company in April 2020 with a specific thesis: the hardest part of enterprise AI would not be the models, but the data infrastructure beneath them. Headquartered in Piscataway, New Jersey, Neoware helps mid-to-large US enterprises migrate from legacy analytics stacks to lakehouse-based, AI-ready platforms and operationalize GenAI and agentic AI on top of them. Neoware is the only firm independently recognized twice by AIM Research in 2026, as a Seasoned Vendor for Top Data Engineering Service Provider and for Top Generative AI Service Providers.
The firm's proprietary accelerator portfolio includes AskNeo, an enterprise intelligence front door to a client's data; CodeX for AI-assisted data engineering delivery; Document Intelligence for unstructured data activation; and Integration Studio for low-code data exchange across ERP, CRM, and HR systems. That portfolio gives Neoware a repeatability and speed-to-value advantage that pure-play service firms rarely achieve, with internal benchmarks pointing to compressed delivery timelines and high client retention.
Before founding Neoware, Rajaraman spent close to two decades at Cognizant, rising to CTO for Analytics within its BigDecisions practice in New York, where he oversaw large-scale data platform decisions for US pharma and banking clients. He holds an MCA in Computer Science from Bharathidasan University.
Rajaraman earns his place on the AIM Next 15 AI CEOs in America 2026 for building one of the most credible new-generation data and AI services firms to emerge from the post-2020 wave, operating in the unglamorous but high-leverage layer that determines whether enterprise AI initiatives produce measurable business outcomes. As US enterprises move past GenAI proofs-of-concept into production deployments through 2026 and 2027, the data engineering and AI-readiness layer Neoware specializes in is where the next phase of competitive advantage is being decided.
