Lissun is a tech-enabled mental health startup founded in 2021 in Gurgaon, India, offering an end-to-end platform for mental and emotional wellness through online counseling, therapy, self-assessment tools, and AI-driven insights.[1][2][3][6] It serves individuals (B2C) and corporates (B2B) via a mobile app, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, stress, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and child neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD, with a hybrid model including psychiatry, rehabilitation, and family-focused care.[1][3][4][6] The platform emphasizes awareness, acceptance, anonymity, access, affordability, and assurance, having delivered over 35,000 therapies across 40+ cities, supported 10,000+ children via its Sunshine initiative, and raised $2.3M in seed funding.[2][3][6]
Lissun solves mental health accessibility gaps in India by combining therapist-led services with proactive tools and corporate wellness programs, competing with apps like Headspace and Wysa while scaling through acquisitions like US-based Being Cares to integrate AI for family-oriented care.[1][2][3]
Lissun was co-founded in 2021 by Tarun Gupta (associated with Mindeye Solutions Private Limited) and Krishna Veer Singh (Director, recognized as a prominent mental health leader), both full-time on the project, drawing from a team of IIT, IIM, ISB, and NIMHANS alumni experienced in internet companies and healthcare.[1][3][6] The idea emerged from a commitment to tackle severe mental health issues like schizophrenia and bipolar using AI, biomarkers, and research, while addressing everyday needs through a proactive, preventative approach amid India's underserved mental health landscape.[1][5][6]
Early traction built on a strong medical professional team from India's consumer industry, evolving into a hybrid model with child-focused Sunshine by LISSUN launched in June 2023, delivering 30,000+ therapy hours across 20 centers.[3][6] Key pivots include recent acquisition of Being Cares, bringing in its co-founders Varun Gandhi (now CPO) and Abhishek Sharma (now CTO) to enhance AI capabilities.[3]
Lissun rides the global mental health tech boom, fueled by post-pandemic awareness, AI advancements, and India's massive underserved market where stigma and access barriers persist.[1][3][6] Timing aligns with rising demand for affordable, scalable solutions amid 150M+ Indians needing care, positioning Lissun ahead of competitors like Headspace via localized hybrid models and family AI integration.[1][2]
Market forces favoring Lissun include healthtech funding resurgence, corporate wellness mandates, and AI's role in early detection, influencing India's ecosystem by normalizing mental health (e.g., 10+ mainstream categories) and expanding via acquisitions to global standards.[3][4][6] It pioneers "mental health at scale" in emerging markets, bridging tech with clinical pros to reduce burden on traditional systems.[1][5]
Lissun is poised for hypergrowth through AI-family care integration, targeting severe disorders via biomarkers and expanding Sunshine to more centers/users.[1][3] Trends like AI personalization, corporate mental health mandates, and global healthtech M&A will shape its path, potentially evolving into a full-stack leader serving millions.[2][6]
With $2.3M raised and acquisition momentum, expect Series A soon, influencing India's wellness ecosystem by making proactive mental health as routine as physical checkups—fulfilling its vision to solve mental health at scale.[2][3][6]
Lissun has raised $970K across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $970K Seed in September 2022.
