Origin

How three years of research inside CrestoWorld became a company of its own.

Raqlan Tech was founded in 2024 by Aaron Abbas, who had already spent three years quietly building the reasoning engine that became Kedge AI inside CrestoWorld's research group. When the work outgrew a lab project, Abbas spun it out as its own venture — raised under CrestoWorld, now standing under the wider WARCR Group.

The name comes from the Arabic word for a tall palm tree: something that spends years unseen underground before it's seen reaching anywhere.

If the customers are the ones who pushed us up to the top, we should also bring them up with us.
