It starts with their health being seen, every month, by a pediatrician who knows what's really going on in their life. Balayu is India's first continuous pediatric care standard, for the attentive families who have been doing this work alone.
I have spent twenty-five years building companies that matter, as a founder, as an operator, and as a scale-stage leader across India and globally. The work that defines me has always been about building the thing that should exist and doesn't.
Then I became a mother. Two young children in Bangalore. Suddenly every decision I had ever made about building companies felt small next to the decisions I was making about their lives.
I became consumed by a question I couldn't answer: why does India's most ambitious, most attentive parent class still have no proactive healthcare system for their children? I wrote about it. I researched it. I talked to pediatricians, to mothers, to health policy people. And eventually I decided the only honest response was to build it.
“We track their homework, their screen time, their sports scores. But their health? We wait till something goes wrong. Healthcare for our kids hasn't been rebuilt in forever. That's got to change.”
Three-time Y Combinator founder, previously founded Brave Care, a pediatric company that treated over 50,000 children across the US. Leads product, design, and engineering at Balayu.
“Balayu is the impact I’ve always wanted to see in the world, done at the scale of technology.”
Senior Indian pediatrician, IAP-connected, in active practice across India's leading children's hospitals. Leads the clinical protocol and physician network that becomes India's reference standard for preventive pediatric care.
Engineering leader with a track record of scaling consumer health platforms to millions of users. Owns the architecture behind what becomes India's largest longitudinal pediatric dataset.
You trained to give children world-class preventive care. The system you work inside has never let you deliver it at the cadence, depth, or clinical standard you were trained for. This is the network where you finally get to.
Structured clinical packets you read between clinic sessions. Six to eight per hour in your own cadence, not an appointment book somebody else manages.
AAP Bright Futures, IAP growth standards, validated screens (ASQ-3, M-CHAT-R, SDSC). Pre-screened for quality before you see them.
Wellness screening with clear referral triggers. You recommend in-person follow-up when warranted. No diagnostic ambiguity, no liability creep.
Competitive rates paid monthly. Transparent earnings dashboard. Income independent of any single clinic or hospital.
Nothing submitted to Balayu goes unread. You see the full record, not a snapshot. Your note is the closing word on every check.
Every paying family funds a full year of pediatric care for a child who otherwise wouldn’t receive one. You review both.
If you've been waiting to build consumer health software at a standard parents trust and pediatricians respect, this is that team. Consumer-grade mobile, clinical-grade physician tooling, and ML on the longitudinal pediatric dataset Balayu is the first to build.
React Native and Supabase. You ship the parent app and physician portal. Architecture decisions made early become the data layer the whole category gets measured against.
Product and brand, premium consumer register. Parents keep the app open between visits because the interaction feels worth keeping open.
Translates AAP, IAP, and validated screening protocol into software that pediatricians read in minutes and parents complete in one sitting.
Personal baselines, anomaly detection, cross-signal pattern recognition. You build the layer that flags a child's deviation months before a population chart would.
Reserve your place if you're a parent. Write to us if you're a pediatrician or a builder who wants to help build it.
