The Cadabams Group, one of India’s largest mental healthcare providers, has announced an investment of $7.3 million (around ₹65 crore) in its digital mental health platform, MindTalk.
The funding will be deployed over the next 12 to 18 months to enhance MindTalk’s deep learning capabilities, strengthen its AI infrastructure, and accelerate clinical research integration.
MindTalk was launched by Cadabams as a digital extension of its decades-long commitment to mental health care. The platform aims to make mental health services more accessible and effective through technology.
Its key feature is an AI-powered therapist companion named “Dr. Riya”, available 24/7 to guide users with self-assessment tools, mood trackers, and guided meditations.
The platform also connects users with licensed therapists and psychologists for online and in-person consultations, bridging the gap between digital and human-led care.
The Cadabams Group aims to reach at least one million users in the coming years, addressing the growing demand for mental health services in India.
Founded more than three decades ago, the Cadabams Group has treated over 275,000 patients so far. The institution plans to expand to 150–160 centres with a total of 3,500 beds, integrating technology-driven platforms like MindTalk to extend its reach and impact.
