The mental Health Startups market in India is projected to grow by 1.08 percent between 2024 and 2028 resulting in a market volume of $1.19 billion in 2028. The sector is witnessing notable expansion and progress, propelled by factors like heightened awareness of mental health concerns, evolving societal perspectives and the increased accessibility and afford ability of mental health services. However, the general population of ten lacks adequate tools for managing mental health in their daily lives and a significant number of therapists also lack advanced techniques to effectively address mental health challenges.

contribute to personal growth and resilience. Our goal is to cultivate a nurturing space where healing and growth can thrive”, says Ankita Deshmukh, Founder.
