Cadabams Group invests $7.3M in AI-powered mental health platform MindTalk
The investment will be deployed over the next 12 to 18 months to strengthen MindTalk’s AI infrastructure, enhance its deep learning capabilities, and accelerate the integration of clinical research into the platform.
The Cadabams Group, a mental healthcare institution, has announced a $7.3 million (Rs 65 crore) investment in its newly launched digital mental health platform, MindTalk.
The investment will be deployed over the next 12 to 18 months to strengthen MindTalk’s AI infrastructure, enhance its deep learning capabilities, and accelerate the integration of clinical research into the platform.
“While a partial portion of this investment we have committed has been put into this platform already, the rest will be invested in the next 12 to 18 months. With MindTalk, we are building a clinically intelligent digital companion that can bring structured mental healthcare to anyone with a smartphone, without losing the rigour and empathy of real-world therapy,” said Sandesh Cadabam, Executive Director, Cadabams Group.
MindTalk is being developed as a 'Deep Agent' for mental health, combining advanced artificial intelligence with clinical expertise.
The platform integrates large language models (LLMs), conversational AI, and adaptive learning systems under clinician supervision to deliver evidence-based, structured guidance aligned with professional mental healthcare standards. Unlike general AI wellness tools or self-help chatbots, MindTalk is designed to support measurable therapeutic outcomes.
Founded in 1991, Cadabams operates 42 centres across India and the Maldives, serving more than 275,000 patients. The group plans to expand its physical presence to 150–160 centres with 3,500 beds over the next few years, complementing this growth with technology-driven platforms such as MindTalk to reach wider populations.
Cadabams aims to make MindTalk accessible to at least one million users in the coming years, addressing India’s growing demand for mental health services.
