Building the future of mental health
We decided to build SoulUp because we recognized a critical unmet need in mental health—both in India and globally. Mental health is an area where solutions have struggled to scale effectively, and while therapy has gained traction for those with mental illness, millions of people still grapple with real-life emotional challenges that remain unsupported.
At SoulUp we believe that Peer support will be the future of mental health - it directly addresses current gaps by offering an affordable, stigma-free, and community-driven approach. Plus it is highly scalable and research backed. However, no one has systematically scaled this across diverse markets. As founders, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to build SoulUp on a global scale.
