Gurugram, (Haryana) India: Aetherrax Technologies, a Gurugram-based AI venture established in April 2025, is stepping into the global spotlight with a purpose that goes beyond business growth. Built as a mission-first organisation, the company was founded with a singular and urgent goal; to provide immediate, AI-powered emotional support to individuals battling loneliness, anxiety, depression, and crisis situations.
Founded by Ujjwal Thakur, a Computer Science Engineer specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and currently pursuing a Doctor of Business Administration degree in Paris, the venture reflects his belief that innovation must serve humanity first.
A Vision Rooted in Responsibility
The inspiration behind ThunDroid AI came from observing a painful global pattern; the rising number of suicide cases often linked to untreated emotional distress and isolation.
Rather than treating this as a statistic, the founder viewed it as a call to action. The result was ThunDroid AI, a non-judgmental digital wellness companion designed to remain available 24/7. Since its iOS launch in July 2025 and its Android rollout on 2 March 2026, the application has steadily expanded its reach, ensuring support is accessible across devices.
Built on Clinical Foundations, Powered by Compassion
ThunDroid AI integrates structured practices based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. The platform offers 13 guided breathing techniques and 15 journaling categories to help users manage acute anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
Its privacy-first design allows individuals to seek help confidently, without fear of stigma. Positioned as “AI with a Soul,” the technology aims to function as a frontline mental health support system during moments of vulnerability.
A National Vision Beyond a Product
While the application focuses on individual well-being, the broader mission extends further. The company is committed to placing India among the top global leaders in Artificial Intelligence. It seeks to demonstrate that advanced, life-saving AI solutions can be conceptualised, developed, and scaled from India to the world.
This dual focus; humanitarian purpose and national technological pride, defines its long-term roadmap.
Showcasing Indian Innovation
From March 23 to 25, 2026, the organisation will be a featured exhibitor at AI Bharat Expo, Booth No. C3-14, Hall No. 3. The event will serve as a platform to demonstrate how ThunDroid AI acts as an immediate intervention tool and how Indian-developed AI can match international benchmarks.
As conversations around Artificial Intelligence continue to evolve globally, this Gurugram-based initiative presents a different narrative; one where technology safeguards lives and strengthens national identity.
