What Ray of Light does

Ray of Light is a private children's therapy center headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India, providing in-person therapeutic services to children from infancy through age 18 with special needs including developmental delays, autism-spectrum conditions, sensory processing issues, speech and language disorders, and physical therapy requirements. The center is operated by approximately 10 employees and delivers nine distinct modalities: Sensory Integration Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Psychological Assessment & Tests, Counseling, Group Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Remedial Teaching. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is human-delivered, customized per child, with pricing not publicly disclosed and customer acquisition driven primarily by community engagement and word-of-mouth among parents.

The company was founded by Amit and Sheetal Mandora following the diagnosis of their son Vivaan with SynGap1 at age 2.4, and it operates as a social-enterprise model. It has established two wholly-owned related ventures: ROL Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., which targets commercialization of research by connecting researchers with experienced professionals, and Ray of Light For the Children Foundation, a Section 8 non-profit that channels donations toward research, SynGap1 awareness, and subsidized therapy for under-privileged children. The advisory board includes a pediatric neurologist with 17+ years of clinical experience and a director with 24+ years scaling pharmaceutical and technology businesses at Glaxo, Cipla, and Reliance Industries. Distribution is direct-to-consumer at a single physical center operating Monday to Saturday, 10 am to 7 pm, with marketing concentrated on the company website and parent community networks.
