About InnerVeda

A daily companion that uses 3,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom to build a personal lifestyle plan for your body type. Quiz, food guide, meditations, programmes, and Vaidya (the AI companion) — all in one app.

Both, on purpose. The framework is classical Ayurveda — body type, dosha, season, agni. The companion is an LLM that has been narrowly trained on these sources and your own data. The AI never invents protocols; it reads them from the canon and applies them to you.

A small team of engineers and designers, led by founder Ganesh Kompella. Vaidya's guidance is independently reviewed for classical accuracy and safety by Dr. Sheetal Rajput, BAMS — an Ayurvedic Medical Officer with four years of clinical practice.

The quiz

The quiz produces a body type, not a single label — most people are 60/30/10 across two doshas, and the recommendations work from the full ratio, not a tag. Around 12–15 questions, three minutes. No signup until you ask for results.

No. You can browse essays, the basic food guide, and starter meditations without it. The quiz unlocks personalisation.

Anytime. Your body shifts with age, season, and stress — we recommend retaking every six months, or whenever something feels off.

Vaidya

Your AI companion — three layers of memory, the 48-hour rule, plain-English articles. Every protocol Vaidya gives is reviewed for classical accuracy and safety by Dr. Sheetal Rajput, BAMS — an Ayurvedic Medical Officer with four years of clinical practice. Vaidya itself is an AI companion and offers wellness guidance, not medical diagnosis.

Yes — three layers: session memory (this thread), profile memory (body type, allergies, preferences), and event log (everything you have tried in the last six months).

If you go quiet for 48 hours, Vaidya pauses outreach. No streak guilt, no notification pile-up. When you come back, it picks up exactly where you left off.

Pricing

The quiz, the library essays, and the basic food guide are free for everyone. Personalised arcs, Vaidya chat with memory, and full meal plans are part of the membership — there's no permanent free plan, but every membership starts with a 7-day free trial you can cancel anytime.

$19.99/month or $199.99/year. About $16.67 / month, billed once a year. Same features either way; the annual plan saves ~17%, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Yes. Students, healthcare workers, and chronic-illness patients can apply for full membership at no cost.

Safety & limits

No, and we would be worried if any app told you otherwise. InnerVeda is a daily companion for lifestyle, food, and practice. For diagnosis or medication, see a qualified practitioner. Vaidya will tell you the same.

Many practices are safe in pregnancy. Many are not. We flag every protocol that needs practitioner approval and Vaidya will not recommend without checking. Always discuss with your OB-GYN first.

No. Your data is used only to personalise your own experience. We never sell, share, or train external models with your conversations.
