In a bid to address the lack of awareness surrounding pregnancy and women’s health, Padmini Janaki, a former product manager at Change Healthcare, founded Mind and Mom in 2021.
The Chennai-based startup utilizes artificial intelligence to guide women through their pregnancy journey, offering a range of features including a fertility tracker, baby growth tracker, wellness studio, and custom diet plans.
Janaki’s inspiration for Mind and Mom came from her experiences working on a project that involved speaking to pregnant teens in the US.
She noticed a significant lack of awareness among young girls about pregnancy-related issues. Upon returning to India in 2020, she realized that the situation was not much different in the country and decided to take action to empower women with accurate information about their health.
Mind and Mom’s offerings include 30, 60, and 90-day health plans for women aspiring to be mothers or those already pregnant. These plans, curated by AI, encompass physical activities, lifestyle changes, and sessions on mindfulness and nutrition.
