About Kratu

Built by parents.
Designed with clinicians.
For every child.

Kratu exists because of the children it was made for — and the families who saw, first-hand, what is missing.

Our Origin

Born from lived experience

Kratu was founded by parents of children with learning difficulties, in collaboration with educational and clinical psychologists, and technology experts. We started where most parents start — confused, under-supported, and watching our children fall behind while waiting for a system that wasn't designed to find them.

The professionals we worked with were excellent — but there were never enough of them, the waiting lists were impossible, and by the time clinical assessment finally came, our children had already lost years of confidence, self-belief, and academic foundation. We saw the gap clearly: between teachers who see every child every day, and clinicians who can only meet a few.

We built Kratu to close that gap. Not as another wellness app. Not as a black-box AI tool. As a clinically rigorous, evidence-based early detection and intervention platform — designed by the people who needed it, with the people qualified to make it safe.

"We didn't set out to build a technology company. We set out to make sure no other parent has to fight the way we did — and no child has to be invisible to the system meant to support them."

Why this matters

Children with learning difficulties are not failing. They are being failed — by systems that cannot see them in time. Early, structured identification changes life trajectories. Late identification entrenches struggle.

Every child Kratu helps identify earlier is a child whose self-belief is preserved, whose family avoids years of uncertainty, and whose school can act on something concrete.

How We Built It

A collaboration
of three disciplines

No single field could have built this alone. Lived experience, clinical expertise, and technological capability had to come together — and each had to inform the others.

Parents of children with learning difficulties
Founders who lived the journey — and who know what a family actually needs from early detection, support, and communication. Lived experience drives every product decision.
Educational & clinical psychologists
Specialists in learning difficulties, ADHD, and special educational needs — who ensure every item, threshold, and decision rule is clinically defensible and ethically sound.
Technology experts
Engineers in AI, data privacy, and educational platforms — building the architecture that lets clinical rigour scale across thousands of children without compromising safeguards.
Global by Design

A global platform adapted to local context

Learning difficulties exist in every country. So does the gap between observation and clinical capacity. But what counts as a "school day," what language a child learns in, and which clinical body sets the standards — these vary deeply across countries and cultures.

Kratu is one platform with country-specific configurations. The core architecture is universal: the five-stage pipeline, the clinician-led safeguards, the strongest-language-first protocol. The local adaptation is contextual: curricula, languages, cultural reference points in assessment stimuli, and alignment with national clinical bodies.

A child screened in Bangalore, Birmingham, or Bangkok sees a platform that recognises their world. Their school sees outputs aligned with the standards their regulators recognise. Their parents see a dashboard in the language they speak at home.

Curriculum-agnostic core
Aligns to CBSE, ICSE, State Boards, UK National Curriculum, US Common Core, IB, and more.
Multilingual assessment
Strongest-language-first protocol with culturally familiar stimuli per region.
Local clinical alignment
Configured to recognised national clinical guidance per deployment country.
Jurisdiction-aware privacy
GDPR, DPDP 2023, FERPA, Privacy Act — applied per region of operation.
What We Hold To

The commitments
that shape every decision

1
Every child, every class.
Universal early detection is non-negotiable. The children who are missed most are the children who do not disrupt — and they deserve to be found.
2
No diagnostic labels.
Labels belong to qualified clinicians, never to a early detection platform. We say "concern," "monitor," or "referral suggested." We do not say "dyslexic" or "ADHD."
3
Clinicians lead. AI assists.
Every consequential decision is made by a qualified human. AI scales observation and personalises support — but never makes the call.
4
Parents are partners.
Families have a right to access, understand, correct, and remove their child's data. Plain language. No jargon. No surprises.
5
Evidence over enthusiasm.
We anchor to established frameworks and validated guidance. We publish what we measure. We change what doesn't work.
6
Local first, global second.
Every deployment respects the curriculum, languages, clinical standards, and privacy law of the country it serves.
