Building the Future of Health with SHELY
SHELY is creating India's most comprehensive health platform - one that respects cultural contexts, prioritizes privacy, and builds continuity across every stage of women's lives.
"Health should be emotional, contextual, and continuous. We're building for real care realities, not Silicon Valley fantasies."
Our Vision
We envision a world where health technology serves real lives, not just metrics. SHELY is being built to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and human empathy, creating tools that understand India's diverse health landscape.
Radically Inclusive
From rural Assam to urban Mumbai, every woman deserves health technology that speaks her language and respects her context.
Connected by Design
Healthcare happens in communities. We're building platforms that connect patients, families, and providers seamlessly.
Woman-Centered Always
Women are the health managers of their families. Our tools are designed with this reality at the center.
Our Mission
To create India's most trusted health OS - one app ecosystem that grows with women from puberty to menopause, connects families in shared care, and empowers healthcare providers with meaningful insights.
What Guides Us
Six core principles shape every decision we make in building SHELY's health ecosystem.
Privacy-First Always
100% open source, self-hosted backend, and explainable AI. Your health data belongs to you, period.
AI-Aware, Not AI-First
Guardian AI provides gentle nudges and pattern recognition, but never replaces human judgment or clinical expertise.
Inclusively Designed
Multi-language support, cultural sensitivity, and accessibility built into every feature from day one.
Offline-First Technology
Works seamlessly in areas with poor connectivity, ensuring healthcare access isn't limited by infrastructure.
Modular & Scalable
Each SHELY app works independently but connects seamlessly, allowing healthcare systems to adopt what they need.
India-Integrated
Built for Indian healthcare realities - from government programs to traditional medicine practices.
Why We Started With Women
Women make 80% of healthcare decisions for their families but receive fragmented, stage-specific digital health solutions.
They're not just patients - they're caregivers, health managers, and advocates for their entire family's wellbeing.
Most femtech focuses on fertility tracking. We're building for the complete woman - her body, mind, relationships, and life transitions.
Complete Lifecycle Support
Impact We're Building Toward
SHELY aims to transform health outcomes across India through technology that truly serves.
Women's Health Equity
Reducing maternal mortality, improving PCOS management, and supporting mental health through every life transition.
Mental Health Integration
Breaking stigma around women's mental health by integrating emotional wellness into routine health tracking.
Fertility Support
Comprehensive TTC support, pregnancy care, and postpartum recovery - all culturally contextualized.
Rural Healthcare Access
Offline-first tools that work in areas with limited connectivity, supporting CHWs and rural clinics.
Policy & Advocacy
Using aggregated, anonymized data to advocate for better women's health policies and resource allocation.
Provider Empowerment
Giving healthcare providers meaningful patient insights while respecting privacy and clinical autonomy.
Our Story
SHELY was born from personal frustration with healthcare apps that felt clinical and disconnected from real life. As someone who grew up around Chennai's Anganwadi system, I saw how health happens in communities, through relationships, across generations.
We're inspired by the warmth of traditional care practices while leveraging modern technology's power to scale empathy and expertise. SHELY is Chennai-born, bootstrapped, and built by people who understand that health is deeply personal and inherently social.
"We're building the health platform we wished existed for our mothers, sisters, and daughters - one that treats them as complete humans, not collections of symptoms."
