“An assessment gives the family an idea of what help the child needs. It should not leave the family feeling overwhelmed or at a loss. Every report we release tells you plainly what we found, and what to do first.”
Kannika Iyengar

Nakul Moudgil

Founder & CEO

Brighters started from a simple need: a clear picture of where a child is, so that therapy and school support can be planned around it. Brighters does not provide therapy. Our only focus is assessment, so every recommendation is about what the child needs. Nakul founded it to make developmental evaluations clearer and less stressful for families. He spent years building complex software systems at Google, and he looks after the technology and how it protects your child's information, so that clinicians can focus on the child and the family.

Technology & Data Protection

21 years of experience building software. Two decades of building consumer-facing technology at scale, now applied to doing right by families: clear reports and carefully handled child data.
Your child's information. Brighters is built around India's DPDP Act 2023 with strict role-based access control and granular parental consent. We make it seamless for parents to securely share standardized reports with their child's therapy team or school, while ensuring data is never sold or shared with third parties for their own use.

“Brighters exists for one reason: to serve a child's development. Technology and data privacy are simply how we ensure parents and clinicians can focus entirely on what the child needs.”
Nakul Moudgil

Why families and therapists trust Brighters

Signed off by a clinician

Every report is prepared and approved by a named clinician before it reaches you.

Independent by design

Brighters does not provide therapy. Our only focus is assessment, so every recommendation is about what your child needs.

Standardized batteries

We use established tools like Vineland-3, ISAA, and Vanderbilt scales.

Built for India's DPDP Act

We do not sell your child's information. You can ask for a copy, ask us to correct it, or withdraw consent.

Our reports are written so your child's therapists and school can use them, and we never take over their role.
