About NIYA

NIYA is a mental fitness organization founded in the year 2023 by Nidhi Lal an emotional wellbeing expert with Jayashree Venkataraman, a technology leader with experience leading teams at Microsoft, GE.
The organization aims to create a mental fitness ecosystem that provides support for building and maintaining mental fitness and proactive care plans for daily stress and care for a range of mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia.

NIYA Problem

One in seven Indians are suffering from mental health issues and need active intervention still 60 % of these people don’t get or seek support because of limited resources, social stigma and misconceptions about the nature of mental health. And most importantly, social stigma & misconceptions are the bigger issues which need to be addressed as even though who have resources and access, don’t seek help because of it..

NIYA Solution

Existing solutions only focus on providing support for people with clinical issues, given the large population and limited professionals (.75 psychiatrists for 100000 people) in India, we can not only focus on assistive care, we have to work on the preventative side.

We need to change the narrative and shatter the stigmas and misconceptions associated with mental health.

We are working to change the narrative from mental health to mental fitness and make it normal to talk about and take support for as we do for our physical health.

We are building NIYA platform where you go every day to build and maintain your mental muscles and seek support from licensed professionals when in mental distress.

Think of it as a mental gym you go to every day!
