Care that stops and starts
A woman’s health needs change from her first period to menopause and beyond — yet care in India is fragmented across clinics, apps and paper files that never talk to each other.
Born in Chennai · Built for India
Women’s health,
finally looked after for life
SHELY is a women’s & family Health OS — a single, connected place for care that understands your whole life, from your first period to menopause and beyond. We’re pre-launch, and we’re building it in the open.
The problem
Women’s health is underserved — across the whole lifecycle
India is home to hundreds of millions of women, each moving through decades of changing health needs. Yet the care available to them is scattered, English-first, and rarely private. We started SHELY because that gap is too big to leave alone.
Built for someone else
Most health tools assume English, a city address, and a smartphone-first life. They rarely meet women where they actually are, in the language they actually speak.
Questions left unasked
PCOS, fertility, perimenopause, postpartum mood — too many concerns go unspoken because there’s no private, judgement-free place to ask and be understood.
Trust taken for granted
Health data is deeply personal. Too often it’s collected loosely and shared widely. Women deserve to know exactly who sees their data, and to stay in control of it.
Our mission
To give every woman in India one trusted, private place for her health — in her language, across her whole life.
Not another app to manage, but a connected Health OS that remembers what matters, speaks plainly, and stays on her side. We believe care designed for women’s real lives — and for families around them — shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be the default.
OUR APPROACH
How we build SHELY
Three principles guide every decision — from product design to how we partner with hospitals.
A lifecycle Health OS
One connected system across cycle tracking, pregnancy, family care, records and more — so your health history follows you through every life stage instead of starting over each time.
India-first by design
Built in Chennai for real care realities across the country — from metro clinics to small-town pharmacies — not adapted from a model designed for somewhere else.
10 Indian languages
Care should speak your language. We’re building for ten Indian languages so understanding your own health isn’t gated behind English.
Privacy-first, always
Your data is yours. Clear consent, plain-language controls, and a promise that we will never sell your health information — these are foundations, not afterthoughts.

A note from the founders
Women’s health in India is underserved, fragmented, and English-first. We watched the people we love navigate care that started over at every clinic, in a language that wasn’t theirs, with questions they were never given a safe place to ask.
We started SHELY because that gap is too big — and too personal — to leave alone. Not another app to manage, but one connected Health OS that remembers what matters, speaks plainly, and stays on her side from her first period to menopause and beyond.
We’re building it in Chennai, in the open, and we’re still pre-launch. We won’t pretend to be bigger than we are or invent numbers we haven’t earned. What we can promise is the intent behind every decision: for the women, for the family.

Our team
A founding team — in formation
SHELY is early, and honest about it. We’re a small group of engineers, designers and health-minded builders in Chennai, assembling a founding team and a network of clinicians who care about getting women’s health right for India.
We won’t put up stock photos or invented bios to look bigger than we are. Our first verified clinical advisors are real people — and as more founders, content and community leads join, we’ll introduce them here by name, when there’s something true to share.
The company behind SHELY is SHELY Health Private Limited, incorporated in 2025 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu (CIN U86909TN2025PTC186774).
