The women who need help most get it least.

Every year, 25 million babies are born in India. Their mothers — most of them in Tier 2 cities, small towns, and villages — do not speak English fluently. They cannot navigate an English parenting app, and they rarely get face-time with a paediatrician outside scheduled clinic hours.

What they have is a phone, a WhatsApp group, and the terrifying quiet of 2 a.m. when the baby will not settle and nobody in the house knows what to do.

For four years, Neo Yugam Foundation has been serving this exact moment — one mother, one question, one doctor's answer at a time. We have learnt what they ask, how they ask it, when they ask it, and why they keep coming back. Poshanam takes that learning and turns it into a product that scales.

"The community has outgrown what a chat format can serve. This is the opportunity."

The work we have set ourselves.

01
Vision

A country where every mother, in every language, can ask a question about her baby and get a trustworthy answer within minutes.

Not generic content. Not a search result. An actual answer — grounded in the experience of qualified doctors who have served mothers like her, in words she can understand, at the moment she needs it.

02
Mission

To build the most trusted, most linguistically inclusive, most mother-centred digital health companion in India.

Starting with Malayalam, expanding to Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali and beyond. Serving mothers directly, empowering ASHA and anganwadi workers, partnering with hospitals and state health missions.

The top three concerns of Indian mothers, drawn from 11,000+ real questions.

Not illnesses. Not emergencies. The daily, recurring, life-shaping worries of early parenthood.

No. 01
Nutrition & Weaning

What to feed a six-month-old, whether cow's milk is safe at eleven months, how to handle a baby who refuses food.

No. 02
Breastfeeding

Supply concerns, latching difficulty, storing expressed milk, when and how to wean, formula transitions.

No. 03
Digestion

Stool changes, constipation, diarrhoea, gas, colic — the daily anxieties that every new parent learns to decode.

One brain. Four surfaces.

Every question asked anywhere — on the app, in WhatsApp, or in our Telegram community — flows through one verified knowledge base. Every new doctor answer strengthens the whole system.

  1. 01Mother asks a question.By voice, by text, in Malayalam, Hindi, or whichever language she thinks in.
  2. 02AI finds the right doctor-verified answer.Matched semantically from 11,000+ past exchanges — never invented, always traceable.
  3. 03If uncertain, a real doctor reviews.New or complex questions go to our panel; their answer is added to the knowledge base.
  4. 04The system gets smarter every week.Every new answer serves the next thousand mothers asking the same question.
