Hi, I'm Shivi

I'm currently on maternity leave with my second child, and I'm using this time to build something I desperately needed the first time around: an AI that actually helps mothers manage the mental load.

By day (well, by naptime), I work at Salesforce. By night (between feeds), I'm studying NLP at Stanford. And in every spare moment, I'm building Alpha Mothers.

The Journey

From building enterprise software to building for mothers—here's how I got here.

Now

Building Alpha Mothers

On maternity leave with my second child, I'm building Alpha Mothers—an AI life partner for mothers. Because if anyone understands the mental load of motherhood, it should be the technology we use.

2025

Second Maternity Leave

November 2025—welcomed my second baby, a Gen Beta child. This time, I knew what was coming: the sleep deprivation, the identity shift, the mental load that multiplies (not just doubles) with two kids.

2025

Deep Learning & NLP Course

Completed Stanford's Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning course while working at Salesforce. Because if I'm going to build AI that truly understands mothers, I need to understand how AI understands us.

2024

Salesforce, Canada

Moved to Canada and joined Salesforce. Continued building expertise in integration architecture, cloud solutions, and AI. Earned certifications in Salesforce AI, Mulesoft, and Microsoft Azure.

2022

First Maternity Leave

March 2022—became a mother for the first time in Hyderabad, welcoming my Gen Alpha child while working at Deloitte. Six months of the most transformative, overwhelming, beautiful chaos of my life.

2017+

Deloitte, Hyderabad

Moved to Deloitte in Hyderabad, building expertise in enterprise integration and technology consulting. This is where I was when I became a mother for the first time.

2014

Infosys, Mysore & Pune

Started my tech career at Infosys—training at the Mysore campus, then working in Pune. The foundation for everything that came after.

Why I'm building Alpha Mothers

During my first maternity leave, I experienced something no one warned me about: the mental load. Not just the physical exhaustion of caring for a newborn, but the constant cognitive burden of tracking, planning, worrying, anticipating—all while trying to figure out who I was becoming.

I had apps for tracking feeds. Apps for tracking sleep. Apps for tracking my mood. But nothing that actually helped. Nothing that understood that I needed someone to talk to at 3am. Nothing that could capture the million things swirling in my brain without adding to the overwhelm.

Now, on my second maternity leave, I'm building what I wished existed: an AI life partner that combines the empathy of a therapist with the practicality of an executive assistant.

I believe technology should reduce our mental load, not add to it. I believe mothers deserve support that meets them where they are—at 3am, mid-meltdown, or in the quiet moments when the guilt creeps in.

That's why I'm building Alpha Mothers. And I'm building it in public, because I know I'm not the only one who needs this.

Why "Alpha Mothers"?

My first child is Generation Alpha—the first generation born entirely in the 21st century, growing up with AI as a natural part of their world. My second is Generation Beta, born into a world where AI is already everywhere.

And I'm their mother. A Millennial woman who came of age in the digital revolution and is now raising kids through the AI revolution.

"Alpha Mothers" isn't about being the best or the most dominant. It's about being at the forefront of a new era of motherhood—raising the Alpha and Beta generations while figuring it out in real time, together.
