Neeraj Singh

Founder and CEO neeto

Last Reviewed: September 19, 2026

Executive Summary

Neeraj Singh is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of neeto, a suite of more than twenty small-business software products — appointment scheduling, forms, invoicing, help desk, screen recording, chat, knowledge base — priced at roughly $5 per user per month. He also founded BigBinary, the Ruby on Rails consultancy that neeto grew out of, and still runs it. The strategy behind neeto is deliberately the opposite of standard SaaS practice. Where most companies grow by adding features to one product and moving upmarket, Singh grows by adding products and staying cheap: his stated view is that commodity software is being sold at luxury prices, and that price should be treated as a feature of the product rather than a concession. He has refused venture capital specifically so that the pricing model would not have to be abandoned under growth pressure.

Career Highlights

• Founded BigBinary in 2011 and still leads it as CEO; the consultancy works in Ruby on Rails from offices in Pune, India and Miami, and has delivered more than 400 projects for over 100 clients.
• Founded neeto out of BigBinary in the early 2020s and has grown it past twenty products, including NeetoCal, NeetoForm, NeetoRecord, NeetoInvoice, NeetoDesk, NeetoChat and NeetoKB.
• Set neeto’s price at roughly $5 per user per month, undercutting incumbents severely and by design.
• Turned down venture funding to protect that pricing, planning for roughly 70 to 80 per cent of resources to go to engineering rather than marketing — the inverse of typical SaaS allocation.
• Built an operating model in which engineers also do customer support, product management and deployment, product teams average two people, and a single UX designer covers fifteen products.
• Ships nothing publicly until BigBinary has used it internally, so every neeto product has a real user base before launch.

Professional Journey

Singh founded BigBinary in 2011 as a Ruby on Rails consultancy, remote-first, with offices in Pune and Miami. Over the following decade the firm built a reputation in the Rails community for depth in the framework itself — application development, version upgrades, performance work, code audits — and accumulated more than 100 clients across over 400 projects.

Consulting at that duration produces a particular kind of knowledge. Singh has said that long client relationships surfaced a recurring operational complaint that had nothing to do with the code: clients were drowning in scattered SaaS subscriptions, forgotten logins and unexpected bills, each tool individually reasonable and the aggregate unmanageable. The pain was not the absence of software but the multiplication of vendors.

neeto was the answer, started in the early 2020s. Rather than build one product well and extend it, Singh built many small products that each do one thing and share an account, a bill and a design language. His framing is explicit: instead of going vertically and adding more features, add more products that simplify the customer’s life. The catalogue now exceeds twenty, spanning scheduling, forms, invoicing, support desks, chat, screen recording and knowledge bases.

The pricing is the strategy. At roughly $5 per user per month, neeto sits far below the incumbents in every category it enters. Singh’s argument is that most business software is a commodity priced as a luxury, and that a deliberately low price is a differentiating feature rather than a discount. Sustaining that requires a cost structure most SaaS companies do not have, which is why he declined venture capital — outside investors would have demanded the growth spending that makes low prices unsustainable. Instead he expects to put 70 to 80 per cent of resources into engineering and only around 20 per cent into marketing.

The operating model follows from the same constraint. Engineers at neeto handle support, product management and deployments themselves. Product teams average two people. One UX designer covers fifteen products. Singh treats this leanness as a discipline rather than a limitation: a two-person team cannot build feature creep, so the products stay simple by construction. And every product is built for BigBinary’s own use first, which means it has been proved against real work before a customer ever sees it. He continues to run both companies.
