Beneath the surface of a rapidly growing and vibrant India lies a silent, pervasive crisis. A mental health emergency that affects millions, yet is spoken about in whispers. While we have made incredible strides in technology, business, and culture, our collective mental well-being has been left behind. This is not just a challenge; it is a national emergency that demands an urgent, innovative, and compassionate response.
An estimated ~200 million people in India suffered from mental disorders (The Lancet, 2019).
A staggering 70% to 92% for various mental health challenges (NMHS).
Only 0.75 psychiatrists per 100,000 inhabitants, 10-50x lower than WHO recommendations.
These aren't just statistics; they represent our friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours.
The current system is broken. It was not built to handle this scale of need.
"Mental health is a state of well-being, not the absence of illness. We have focused on the latter for far too long in India. It is time we empowered every individual to proactively nurture their mental well-being."
We cannot solve a 21st-century crisis with a 20th-century model. Waiting months for an appointment, traveling hours to see a therapist, or paying unaffordable fees is not a viable system.
The need of the hour is a solution that is:
This is the chasm we are building to bridge. We are not just creating an app; we are building a lifeline. By harnessing the power of AI, clinical psychology, and a deep understanding of the Indian context, we are creating a new front door to mental wellness.
Our mission is to provide a compassionate, confidential, and clinically-informed companion for your mental health and emotional wellbeing journey - one conversation at a time. Because quality mental health support should not be a luxury. It is a fundamental human right.
