Ventures

One company operating, three in the workshop

We hold a small portfolio on purpose. Every venture has to earn the attention of a clinical team before it gets an engineering team.

CareMe Health

Online mental health care for India — therapy, psychiatry and coaching, delivered by licensed clinicians in the language you think in.

CareMe is our first venture and the proving ground for everything else we build. It connects people to licensed therapists, psychiatrists and coaches by video, phone or chat, without a waiting list and without a referral.

The hard problem was never the video call. It was credentialing a national clinician network, matching a person to the right one on the first attempt, holding a consistent standard of care across thousands of sessions a month, and doing all of it at a price an Indian household will actually pay.

  • In the workshop

    Care for the workplace

    Employers are the fastest route to people who would never book a session themselves. Taking what CareMe learned about matching and outcomes into company benefit programmes.

  • In the workshop

    Clinician tooling

    Our clinicians work inside software we built for them. The parts that generalise — supervision, case review, outcome tracking — should be available to practices we don't operate.

  • In the workshop

    Measurement as a service

    Standardised instruments, administered consistently and reported honestly. Mental health care in India needs a shared way to say whether it worked.

Platform

The part nobody demos

Video calls are not the hard problem. Everything underneath them is — and it is the reason a second venture costs less than the first.

  • Clinical protocols

    Care that does not depend on who picked up

    Evidence-based pathways — CBT, DBT, EMDR — encoded as structured protocols with defined intake, escalation and review points. A clinician brings judgement; the protocol makes sure nothing gets skipped.

  • Network operations

    A thousand clinicians, one standard

    Credentialing, supervision, scheduling, capacity planning and case review for a national network. This is the part nobody demos and everybody underestimates.

  • Triage and matching

    The right clinician on the first attempt

    Intake routes each person to a modality, a language and a clinician before the first session is booked. Getting the first match wrong is the most common reason people stop coming back.

  • Outcome measurement

    Measured, or it didn't happen

    Standardised instruments at intake and through the course of care, reported the same way every time. If a pathway is not working we want to find out from the data, not from churn.

How the platform fits together

How we work

Build it, run it, then generalise what held

Ventures move through the same three stages, in order. Nothing becomes shared platform before it has survived real volume.

  1. 01Build

    Start from the clinical model

    A venture begins with a care pathway a clinician will defend, not a product spec. If we cannot describe what good care looks like, there is nothing to build software around.

  2. 02Operate

    Run it ourselves first

    We operate what we build, at real volume, with our own clinicians and our own on-call. Infrastructure that has not survived a Monday morning is not infrastructure.

  3. 03Extend

    Generalise only what held

    The parts that survive contact with volume become shared platform for the next venture. The parts that didn't get deleted rather than documented.

Who is behind it

Four founders, three of them clinicians

The balance is deliberate. It is why clinical judgement holds a veto here rather than a seat at the table.
