Building Saathi - A Companion App for Your Parents

I'm building Saathi because I know exactly what it feels like to sit hundreds of kilometres away and wonder if your parents are okay.

The problem: Millions of Indian families have elderly parents living alone in smaller cities while their children work in Bengaluru, Mumbai, or abroad. The children worry constantly. The parents are lonelier than they admit. And a daily phone call is never really enough.

What Saathi does: Greets your parent every morning in Hindi/English (just like Alexa) on their existing phone; Reminds them about medicines and confirms they took them; Checks and confirms meals; Checks in during the afternoon just to keep them company. Sends you a simple evening update - how they seemed, whether medicines were taken, anything worth knowing. Also has a built-in SOS button on Home Screen which directly calls the emergency contact (the child/ambulance/police as chosen)

What makes it different: No new device. No complicated setup. No app for the parent to figure out. Works on the Android phone they already have. The parent just responds - the child just reads the update.
