About us

We are building the ageing infrastructure India never had

India has more than 150 million people aged 60 and above. Fewer than two families in a hundred have access to organised, professional care at home. We started Cent Care to close that gap.

Why we exist

The gap is not compassion. It is execution.

Indian families are not short of love for their parents. They are short of time, proximity and reliable help.

There are thousands of caregivers, attendants and nursing agencies across the country. What almost none of them offer is a system: the same trained person arriving on schedule, following the same protocol, recording what they found, and answering to an organisation when they do not.

That is the whole of what we do. We hire carefully, train to a written standard, and make every single visit visible to whoever is keeping track of it.

The name

Cent means one hundred.

Per cent. Complete. Nothing left out and nothing left to chance. It is also the root of centurion, the officer who commanded exactly one hundred men, and who was responsible for every one of them.

Both meanings are the company. Total care, delivered by people trained to protect.

How we work

Four things we do not compromise on

Show up

A missed visit is a broken promise, not a scheduling issue. We report our completion rate to families because it is the number that matters most.

Say what happened

When something goes wrong we tell you first, plainly, along with what we are doing about it. You should never learn about it after the fact, from the person we were caring for.

Protect dignity

Our operators work with your parents, not on them. Independence is preserved for as long as it safely can be.

Earn the renewal

No lock-in contracts anywhere in our pricing. If we are not worth paying for next month, we should not be paid for it.

Our technology

CareOS

CareOS is the platform behind the service. It routes our operators, holds the protocol for every visit, and records what was found.

  • It learns what is normal

    Rather than generic thresholds, CareOS builds a baseline for each person and measures against it.

  • It flags drift early

    Slow changes over weeks are what predict a crisis. Those are exactly what human memory misses.

  • It keeps families in the loop

    Everything the operator records is visible to you the moment it is entered.

Parts of CareOS are live today and the rest is in active development. We will tell you exactly what is working and what is coming, never the other way round.

Come and see for yourself.

The best way to judge a care company is to let them into your home once and watch how they behave. That first visit is free, for exactly that reason.
