Why we started LightSpun?

Why is your dental insurance still stuck in the fax era? Shaju shares why he and Deepak built LightSpun to finally bring modern, AI-powered tools to dental care.

It’s 2025.  
Your bank is on your phone.  
You can see a doctor via video chat.  
But your dental insurance?  
Still stuck in the era of fax machines. 📠

It’s unacceptable.

This broken system costs the U.S. over $17 billion a year —but the real cost is time lost. Every manual claim or credentialing delay holds up patient care. Every dollar wasted on admin is a dollar not spent on health.

At LightSpun, Deepak and I started this company to change that.

We’re using AI to build something better:  
A system that’s fast, fair, and focused on the person who matters most—the patient.

Because patients deserve modern healthcare.  
Dental providers deserve better tools.  
And the industry deserves to finally catch up.
