Nanda has been a hot item in the news, and Clocky has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Big Idea, The New York Time 'Year In Ideas' ID & Dwell, to name just a few.

Nanda was started by Gauri Nanda when she was a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab. The Clocky alarm clock evolved out of Gauri's own need for an alarm clock that wouldn't let her snooze repeatedly. She created a prototype for a class project and a flurry of unexpected attention by the press ensued.
