About Neo Kavach

At Neo Kavach, our journey is rooted in a bold vision: to redefine safety through innovation. Inspired by decades of expertise in fluid mechanics and precision engineering, we set out to develop groundbreaking solutions for high-risk activities.

One of the first CE-certified motorcycle airbag systems was created as a result of this vision; it is an engineering marvel that sets a new benchmark for performance and dependability with a deployment time of less than 100 milliseconds.

Guided by a leadership team with a unique fusion of technical mastery and strategic vision, Neo Kavach blends top-tier creativity with a deep understanding of the evolving automotive landscape. We push limits and challenge norms because of our team's dedication to safety and passion for excellence.

We are pioneers, not just manufacturers, bound together by a common goal to save lives and establish new standards for safety technology.  At Neo Kavach, we don’t just innovate; we inspire confidence, empower riders, and redefine what it means to be safe.
