Three young technology businesses are tackling very different everyday problems. EkaCare wants to reduce doctors’ paperwork with an AI voice scribe. Seva Money is building wallets for people receiving money from abroad. Slayd is using AI to make online fashion discovery less confusing.
Their latest announcements show that investors and public institutions are backing practical products, not just big AI promises.
EkaCare chosen for NHA’s AI Voice Scribe
Bengaluru-based EkaCare has been selected by the National Health Authority, or NHA, as a technology partner for an Ambient AI Voice Scribe under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. EkaCare was founded in December 2020 by Vikalp Sahni and Deepak Tuli.
During a doctor-patient consultation, the tool can listen to the conversation and prepare a structured clinical note. A doctor must review and approve the note before it becomes part of the patient record.
As per reports, this could save time in busy public hospitals, where doctors often need to see many patients while also completing paperwork. Instead of typing every symptom, prescription, and follow-up instruction manually, the doctor can review an AI-generated draft and make corrections.
EkaCare says the system supports more than 15 Indian languages and is designed to work within NHA-approved secure infrastructure. It can also connect with hospital software and ABDM digital health records.
The potential benefit is less administrative work and more time for patient care. However, accuracy, privacy, and doctor oversight will remain essential. AI-generated notes should support clinical work, not replace medical judgment. EkaCare will compete with other medical dictation, electronic health-record, and clinical-documentation technology providers.
Seva Money raises $5 million for cross-border wallets
London-based fintech startup Seva Money has closed a $5 million seed round co-led by Blockwall and Revent. Existing investors Seedcamp, Stride.VC, and Ada Ventures also took part reported Cryptorank. Seva Money was founded by Ritu Soni, who is also its CEO.
The company focuses on people who receive remittances, meaning money sent home by family members working in another country. Usually, the sender completes the transfer, while the recipient receives cash or a bank deposit. Seva Money wants to give the recipient more options after the money arrives.
Its product allows money-transfer operators to offer their own branded digital wallets and cards. These wallets can hold funds and may include features such as savings, rewards, and other financial services.
For example, a worker in the UK could send money to family in India. Instead of only receiving a one-time deposit, the family member could use a wallet and card linked to the transfer service for regular spending and money management.
Seva Money says its services are live in India and Mexico. It plans to use the funding for product development, partnerships with money-transfer operators, and expansion into the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Ghana. Its competitors include remittance companies and wallet providers that are also trying to build longer-term customer relationships beyond a single transfer.
Slayd brings AI to fashion discovery
Gurugram-based Slayd has raised $156,400 in pre-seed funding from AJVC. Founded in 2025 by Sparsh Jain, Harsh Porwal, and Kumar Prasang, the startup runs an AI-powered fashion discovery platform for young shoppers reported Retailnews.
Online fashion shopping can become tiring when products are spread across many marketplaces and brand websites. Slayd brings inventory from more than 300 merchants into one discovery feed, aiming to help users find styles that match their interests.
The funding will support engineering and product hiring, technical infrastructure, and inventory for the company’s own clothing label, Slayd Originals.
This is a smart but challenging model. Aggregating products can attract users, while a private label may offer better margins. But Slayd will need to prove that its recommendations lead to purchases and repeat customers. It will compete for attention with major fashion marketplaces, direct-to-consumer brands, and social-media-led fashion discovery.
