Chennai Founder Built an AI App Helping 2 Lakh Women Navigate Motherhood

Padmini Janaki, a product manager from Chennai, always believed in technology's power. This belief led her to create a startup focused on women's healthcare.

In 2021, Padmini launched Livf.women. This AI-powered app helps women through every stage of motherhood, from pregnancy to parenthood. It was first called Mind&Mom.

Padmini was raised by a single mother. She noticed that people expected women to become mothers but rarely talked about the challenges involved.

She felt women should fully understand what motherhood means. They also need full support if they decide to get pregnant. Padmini thought about this while studying visual communication.

The Inspiration Behind Livf.women

A turning point came in 2019 during a work trip to Nashville, US. Padmini met young, pregnant girls who didn't know much about parenthood. This experience was a wake-up call for her.

Padmini wanted to offer guidance. She spent the next year developing a model to support women before and during pregnancy. This led to Livf.women's creation in 2021.

The startup quickly gained attention. It won a Rs 10 lakh grant from StartupTN's TANSEED 2021. Today, the app has helped over two lakh women.

The Livf.women app guides women through their fertility journeys. It offers mental and physical health support. This includes those considering IVF or natural pregnancy.

Padmini shares that women often lack guidance. Livf.women aims to guide them from the moment they decide to start a family. This applies whether they choose IVF or natural methods.

How AI Supports Motherhood

AI powers the Livf.women app. Women can track their menstrual cycles and get health advice. They can also connect with trusted IVF clinics. The app even offers financial support options for treatments.

Padmini finds it amazing how AI has evolved. It can support advanced features on the app. Technology has greatly changed reproductive health.
