Our Story

There's a kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on any intake form.

There's a kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up on any intake form.

It's the exhaustion of being the only person in the room who knows the whole story. Of sitting in a doctor's office, a classroom, a therapy session, and realizing that everyone there sees a fragment of your child, and you are the only one holding it all together.

I know that exhaustion. I have lived it for years.


When my son was two, doctors handed me a diagnosis. That was it. No direction on where to find help. No map. No support for what came next. So I did what every parent in that room does: I became the coordinator, the advocate, the memory keeper, the connector, and above all, my son's safe space. Across more care providers than I can count, through a fragmented system that was simply not built for us.


The weight of that isn't something you explain to people who haven't lived it. It lives in the 2am notes you write so you don't forget. The appointments you walk into already exhausted, trying to reconstruct months of care in 20 minutes. The feeling that the system was built for someone else's child. The exhaustion that comes from nonstop advocating and trying to hold it all together when you are quietly falling apart, mentally and physically.

My son is older now. The earlier challenges have given way to new ones, as they always do. This doesn't end. It evolves. And caregivers like me wake up every day and do it all over again, because we don't have another choice.


Seva was built because I know what that takes. And because I know how different it might have been if something had been carrying the load with me. Not instead of me. With me.

That's what Seva is. Not a piece of technology. The thing I needed and couldn't find.

Why Seva

A word that has always meant care without condition

A word that has always meant care without condition

A word that has always meant care without condition

In Sanskrit, seva means selfless service. It is care given not for recognition or reward, but because someone needs it. It is what caregivers do every single day, quietly, without acknowledgment, without a system built to support them.


We chose this name because it reflects both the families we serve and the spirit we build with. Seva is care made sustainable. Care made possible. Care carried together.

Our Mission

Clarity. Coordination. Dignity.

Clarity. Coordination. Dignity.

For every neurodivergent family and their care team. We're building toward a future where care coordination is no longer a full-time unpaid job that falls on parents by default. Better days start with better information. That's what Seva is for.

How we're different

We made decisions that most technology companies don't

Privacy is not a feature. It's a principle.

We deal with the most sensitive data that exists: your child's life. We don't sell it. We don't harvest insights for advertisers. We don't use your family's information to train models for others. Your data serves your family. Full stop.

AI that supports human judgment. Not replaces it.

Seva doesn't diagnose. It doesn't prescribe. It finds the patterns the human brain is too tired to see, and gives families and clinicians the clarity to act on them. The decisions always belong to the people who know the child.

Built for every family. Not just the easy ones.

Neurodivergent care intersects with culture, language, immigration status, income, and lived experience. We designed Seva for families navigating fragmented systems in multiple languages, across multiple countries. No family left behind because of where they're from.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Technology that serves caregivers must reflect the families it's for.

Technology that serves caregivers must reflect the families it's for.

The neurodivergent community is not homogeneous. It is as diverse as the world it lives in. And the barriers facing caregivers are not experienced equally. Culture, language, income, immigration status, and geography all shape how hard this already-hard thing is.


Seva was founded by an immigrant woman of color who navigated autism care systems across Bangladesh, Singapore, and Canada. That lived experience is not a background detail. It is the lens through which every decision at Seva is made.

Our commitments

Inclusive design

Built for families navigating care in more than one language, more than one country, more than one system.

Diverse team

We build what we know, and we build it with people who reflect the community we serve.

Equitable access

Care tools shouldn't cost more than care itself. We're committed to pricing that doesn't punish the families who need this most.

Cultural humility

No default, no assumed norm. Seva is designed to work for the family in front of it, not a generic template.

Trust and compliance

Medical-grade infrastructure. Family-led privacy

Architecture

Pseudonymous by design

Seva's data layer uses pseudonymous identifiers, encrypted storage on GCP, and explicit consent gating on every data share. Your data cannot be shared without you choosing to share it.

Seva is a wellness and care coordination tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide clinical diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or replace professional judgment. It is designed to support caregivers and care teams with information, organization, and insight — never to substitute for qualified clinical care.
