Building India's Mental Health Future
We're on a mission to make quality mental health support accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for every Indian.
Our Mission
To democratize mental health support in India by combining AI technology with cultural understanding, making quality mental wellness accessible to millions who need it, when they need it, in the language they prefer.
Our Vision
A future where every Indian has access to immediate, empathetic mental health support, breaking barriers of stigma, distance, and cost to create a mentally healthier nation.
Why We Started MannSetu
In India, over 200 million people need mental health support, yet less than 10% receive adequate care. The reasons are complex: stigma, lack of awareness, shortage of therapists (only 1 per 100,000 people), language barriers, and prohibitive costs.
We witnessed this gap firsthand - friends struggling in silence, families unaware of how to help, and a system overwhelmed by demand. Traditional therapy, while effective, couldn't scale to meet India's needs.
That's when we realized: AI could be the bridge. Not as a replacement for human care, but as a first line of support - always available, judgment-free, culturally aware, and speaking the user's language.
MannSetu was born from this vision - to be the "bridge of the mind" that connects those in need with immediate support, guidance, and hope.
"Mental health is not a luxury, it's a necessity. We're making it accessible to every Indian, one conversation at a time."
- Founder, MannSetu
