Tia was born from a simple frustration: every baby tracking app out there felt foreign — built for
Western families, obsessed with data exports and minimalist dashboards, and completely silent on the
things Indian parents actually care about.
When we held our daughter for the first time, we felt a rush of love we never knew
we were capable of — and alongside it, a fear we hadn&apos;t expected.
</p>
<p className="text-gray-500 italic">
Everything felt fragile. Everything felt new.
</p>
<p>
Where was the IAP vaccination schedule? Why did I have to manually track which relatives had visited
during a fever? Why was there no way to share updates with grandparents without giving them full
edit access?
</p>
<p className="font-medium text-gray-700 italic">
[Founder story — Manohar writes this section]
In those early days, we wanted to capture every yawn, every gurgle, every tiny hand
curling around our fingers. But the apps we tried felt cold and clinical, as though
they had been built by people who had never stayed awake at 3 a.m. wondering whether
their baby&apos;s cough sounded different from yesterday.
</p>
<p>
Tia is built on a simple belief: the first years of your child&apos;s life are irreplaceable. Every
feed, every milestone, every silly face — these deserve to be preserved with care, not mined for
ad revenue.
When our daughter, Tia, was born, we made a silent promise: we would remember
everything.
</p>
<p className="font-medium text-gray-800">
We meant it completely.
</p>
<p>
We don&apos;t sell your data. We don&apos;t run ads. We don&apos;t build engagement loops. We build
a digital heirloom your child will one day inherit.
And within weeks, details were already slipping away — not the big milestones, but the
small things. The exact weight on day five. The way she stretched when she woke up. The
moment she first looked at us as though she knew who we were.
</p>
<p>
Those tiny details felt irreplaceable, and yet they were already beginning to fade.
</p>
<p className="text-rose-700 font-medium">
That realisation became the seed for everything Tia is today.

<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-6">Why We Named the App Tia</h2>
<div className="space-y-5 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">
<p>
We named this app after our daughter, Tia.
</p>
<p>
Not because we wanted a monument to her. Not because we wanted her name attached
to a product.
</p>
<p>
We named it after her because the love we have for our daughter is the same care
we bring to building this app every single day.
</p>
<p>
When we choose privacy over profit, patience over speed, and thoughtful design over
endless notifications, we are building Tia the way we hope to raise our daughter —
with care, responsibility, and respect.
</p>
<p className="text-gray-500 italic">
This app is not a trophy. It is not a brand badge.
</p>
<p>
It is simply an extension of what matters most to us.
</p>
<p>
We built Tia with the belief that the earliest years of a child&apos;s life deserve
extraordinary care. Every decision we make, every feature we release, and every
promise we keep comes from the same understanding: <strong>small things matter.</strong>
</p>
<p>
Because one day, those small things become the memories we treasure most.

<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-6">A Note on Modern Families</h2>
<div className="space-y-5 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">
<p>
Like many new parents today, we are raising our daughter in a nuclear family.
</p>
<p>
And with that comes a particular kind of loneliness that few people talk about.
</p>
<p>
The grandparents who once lived down the street may now live in another city. The
relatives whose advice once arrived over a cup of tea now appear through video calls.
The village that helped raise children for generations often feels farther away than
ever. The hands that could help are now often on the other side of a screen.
</p>
<p className="text-gray-500 italic">
Tia was born from that reality, too.
</p>
</div>
{/* Callout: Indian family context */}
<div className="my-8 bg-amber-50 border border-amber-200 rounded-2xl p-6 space-y-3 text-sm text-amber-900 leading-relaxed">
<p>
Tia is built so that Nani in Lucknow can see today&apos;s moments without you
handing over your phone.
</p>
<p>
So that Dadu in Jaipur can be reminded of the vaccination schedule without you
sending a WhatsApp message at 11 PM.
</p>
<p>
So that the aunties — even when they are in another city — can still feel like a
part of the story.
</p>
</div>
<div className="space-y-5 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">
<p className="font-medium text-gray-800">
Because raising a child was never meant to be done alone.
</p>
<p>
In a small way, we hope Tia helps bring that village back — digitally, gently, and
with respect for the way modern Indian families actually live.

<h2 className="text-2xl font-bold text-gray-900 mb-4">What We Believe</h2>
<p className="text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-2">
The first years of your child&apos;s life are not a metric to optimise.
</p>
<p className="text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-6">
They are irreplaceable.
</p>
<p className="text-gray-600 leading-relaxed mb-2">
No app can give you back a missed moment. No notification can replace being present
when your baby discovers their hands, says a first word, or falls asleep on your shoulder.

<p className="text-gray-700 leading-relaxed mb-8">
<span className="font-medium">Your job is to be present.</span><br />
Ours is to make the rest a little easier.

Exhausting. Overwhelming. Beautiful.

You will never have this week again. Or this month. Or this exact version of your

Tia is not here to track your baby.

Tia is here to help you remember your baby — and to hand that memory to them
