Company Overview

Leora Healthcare is a trusted provider of disability and aged care services, along with an innovative mental health and wellbeing platform for businesses. We were founded in 2008 as Afea Care Services by our Founder and Co-CEO Esha Oberoi. As she scaled Afea as a disability and aged care service, she saw the challenges her staff and clients faced in accessing timely mental health support. To address this urgent need, she founded and launched Leora AI, an AI-driven platform and mental health service. In 2024, Afea Care Services and Leora AI united under one iconic brand, Leora Healthcare, aligning with our long-term vision to provide innovative and holistic healthcare services. Leora means light and is a symbol of illumination, clarity and enlightenment. As Leora Healthcare, we continue the important work of providing life-changing care and support.
