Discover how Healo was featured in The Indian Express for transforming mental healthcare with AI-driven support solutions.
What the Feature Covered
The article examined a question that is becoming increasingly central to conversations in both healthcare and technology: can AI genuinely complement human therapists, and can it do so safely, ethically, and at scale? For millions of people across India and the Global South, access to a qualified therapist remains out of reach — financially, geographically, or because of persistent social stigma. The Indian Express piece put that gap front and centre, and looked at how tools like Healo are beginning to address it.
Founder and CEO Srishti Srivastava spoke to the publication about Infiheal's core philosophy: building AI that advances fairness. Not just AI that works for users in metropolitan cities with the means to pay for therapy, but AI that reaches individuals across geographies and income levels who have historically been left out of the mental healthcare conversation entirely.
Why This Feature Matters
A mention in The Indian Express carries genuine editorial weight. Unlike sponsored content or press releases, a feature placement reflects a journalist's independent assessment that a product or company is doing something worth writing about. For a startup operating in the mental health space, where trust and credibility are non-negotiable, that kind of third-party recognition from a mainstream, high-authority publication matters enormously.
It also signals a broader cultural shift. The fact that a publication of The Indian Express's stature is covering AI mental health tools not with scepticism but with genuine curiosity reflects how the conversation around digital mental healthcare in India is evolving. Readers are increasingly open to understanding how technology can play a supportive, stigma-free role in their wellbeing journeys.
Rooted in a Mission Built on Fairness
Srishti's emphasis on fairness in AI is not incidental to Healo's design — it is foundational to it. Healo is available in 93 languages, built with HIPAA-compliant and ISO 27001-aligned security standards, and has been used by over one million people, with 91 percent reporting feeling better after use. Those numbers reflect a product designed from the ground up to serve people, not just demographics that are easy to monetise.
Being featured in The Indian Express places Healo in front of one of the largest and most diverse readerships in the country, many of whom may be encountering a credible, affordable AI mental health tool for the first time. For Infiheal, that visibility is not just a milestone. It is part of how the stigma around seeking mental health support gradually shifts — one conversation, one article, one reader at a time.
