What Ray does

Ray is a Singapore-headquartered cloud-managed enterprise networking company founded in 2018 (rooted in predecessor Truecom, 2016) that sells a unified platform called Ray ONE, integrating Wi-Fi access points, edge gateways, and L2+/L3 switches with cloud-managed software modules for AI network monitoring (EYE), IoT security (SoT — Security of Things), proactive network auditing (Vigil), analytics (Insights), captive portals, mesh, and SD-WAN/SASE. The hardware portfolio spans Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points (R6A/R6B series, Vega, Vega Wi-Fi 7, Cygnus, Canopus, Capella), an Edge Gateway line from Edge Nano to Edge 6L for SD-WAN/SASE, and enterprise switches, with a separate Ray Lyte sub-brand for tiered price points.

The company generates revenue through a combination of hardware sales, recurring cloud/SaaS subscriptions (Ray ONE platform access, advanced modules, App Store), multi-year hardware warranty subscriptions (Return-to-Factory and Next-Day Ship tiers), and professional services including certified Wi-Fi engineer and sales training. Distribution is executed via a two-tier channel — direct enterprise field sales supported by regional sales directors and an authorized reseller/distributor/ATC partner network — with regional offices in Singapore (headquarters), Ahmedabad (India), and Dubai (MEA), and operational reach across the GCC and East Africa.

Ray targets enterprise customers across hospitality, BFSI, retail, healthcare, education, manufacturing, government, ISP/telecom, and SOHO/SMB segments. Named logos include State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, Federal Bank, L&T Finance, Bajaj Finserv, Saudi Aramco, ArcelorMittal, Mahindra, DMart, Westside, Zudio, TGI Fridays, BYJU'S, IIT Madras, RailTel, Razorpay, Ramada by Wyndham, Nikki Beach Resort Dubai, LoadShare Network, The Nairobi Hospital, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kenya. Leadership is concentrated in co-founders Hemal Patel (CEO) and Chirayu Patel (CTO), with Sumitt K as Regional Director MEA. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding beyond a May 2020 round of approximately $263K from Quick Heal Technologies.
