Community
What families are saying
From parents to counsellors to students — here's how MyndGuard is making a difference.
As a school counsellor, I was skeptical at first — but MyndGuard helped me start conversations with a student I'd been worried about for weeks. It surfaced patterns I couldn't see otherwise.
My daughter and I now talk about her digital habits openly. MyndGuard gave us a shared language to discuss how she's feeling without it feeling like surveillance.
I didn't realise how much late-night YouTube I was watching until MyndGuard showed me the pattern. It helped me take my sleep more seriously.

Our Story
Built by students, for everyone
Why we built this
MyndGuard was created because we noticed something: the adults around us cared about our wellbeing, but had no window into our digital lives — and we often didn't either.
We wanted to build something that bridges that gap. Not surveillance — understanding. Not control — connection. A tool that helps everyone have better conversations about mental wellness in the digital age.
We believe technology should serve our minds, not the other way around.
The Founders
Vidya started with a question: can technology understand how we feel? That curiosity drove her to dream MyndGuard. At MyndGuard, Vidya designed the entire architecture and AI analysis engine — from the initial prototype all the way to the Groq AI integration. When she steps away from the screen, she channels the same discipline into Carnatic classical music — she placed runner-up on ETV Padutha Theeyaga Season 23 — and into her favourite sport, basketball.
Uma has always had her finger on the pulse of what's next in technology. At MyndGuard, she researched, handpicked, and configured every technology that powers the extension — from Groq AI to EmailJS. She also brought the most important perspective of all — that of a student — shaping the product to feel safe, welcoming, and genuinely useful for young people. Beyond tech, she's an avid reader who devours books, a dedicated Carnatic music student, and a fierce basketball player.
"Mental wellness shouldn't be invisible. We built MyndGuard to bring it into the light — gently, and with care."
— Vidya & Uma Suravarapu
How We Got Here
Our Journey
MyndGuard didn't start as a Chrome extension. It started as a question — and grew one step at a time.
The Question
It started with a simple curiosity — can technology understand how we feel? Vidya and Uma began exploring whether browsing patterns could reveal something meaningful about mental wellness.
Designing the Vision in Figma
Before writing a single line of code, the entire product was designed in Figma — mapping out screens, user flows, and the wellness dashboard. This became the blueprint for everything that followed.
Building the Chrome Extension
Vidya architected the core extension using Chrome Manifest V3 — building the data collection engine that monitors browsing patterns across YouTube, Reddit, Google Search, and more.
Integrating Groq AI
Uma researched and selected Groq's Llama 3.3-70B model as the AI engine — and configured the entire integration herself. The result: real-time wellness scoring that analyses 11 data sources every 8 hours.
Adding Email Reports with EmailJS
Uma configured EmailJS to deliver automated wellness summaries directly to parents and guardians — giving families a gentle, non-intrusive window into digital wellbeing.
MyndGuard is Live
MyndGuard is now a fully working Chrome extension used by real families. Built entirely by two students from Inventure Academy, Bengaluru — and just getting started.
