Why Ajay built Piu
He isn’t building this from the outside. He’s the cohort.
Ajay has lived with type-2 diabetes since 2018. He’s spent 23 years building software for healthcare and financial systems — including stints as fractional CTO at a third-party administrator and a pharmacy benefit manager. He’s seen what gets billed, what gets denied, and how little of any of it touches the day after the visit.
“I’m not building Piu from the outside — I’m the cohort. Every reminder, every meal suggestion, every ‘did you take your meds’ is something I need too. The 15-minute clinic visit decides almost nothing about the 364 days that follow. Piu is the companion I wanted for those days — for the people I love, and for myself.”
