To us, mental health matters.

At iKan, we believe mental health is for everyone.

Our Story

Born from personal experience

At some point everyone has struggled. Decades old friends Sachin, Vedanshu and Kartik have also faced their share of struggles, each one of us embarking on a personal journey to understand what we were going through. All of us witnessed first hand the barriers and gaps in mental healthcare in India and realised that the system is broken.

Conversations with people who had struggled and therapists who had learned mental healthcare is inaccessible, costly, episodic, fragmented and needs to be fixed. We realised mental healthcare needs to stop being treated as a blackbox. The only way forward is by bringing people and technology together while being open and transparent. So we created iKan.

Mission

Making mental health care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for every individual in India.

We are on a mission to bridge the gap between people and quality mental health support — through technology, compassion, and transparency.

Vision

A world where seeking mental health support is as natural as visiting a doctor.

We envision a future where mental wellness is normalised, people have the tools they need at their fingertips, and no one suffers in silence.
