From 18 to 20 March 2024, Mindhail participated in Startup Mahakumbh 2024 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, engaging with the wider startup, innovation, and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

During the event, the Mindhail stall became a space for conversations around mental healthcare, accessibility, affordability, and the role innovation can play in addressing challenges faced by people seeking professional support.

Mr. Md. Kashif Nazeer, Founder & CEO of Mindhail, interacted directly with visitors and shared the story behind Mindhail, its vision, and the work the organization was undertaking to make mental healthcare more accessible and affordable.

The Mindhail stall was also visited by Prof. Harvinder Popli (Director, DIIF), Ms. Ruchi Sing (Program Lead, DIIF), Prof. (Dr.) Rihan Khan Suri, (Director, CIE), Jamia Millia Islamia, along with members of the CIE team and other members of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem also visited and interacted at the stall.

For Mindhail, Startup Mahakumbh was an opportunity to introduce its work to a larger audience and engage in meaningful conversations about the barriers that still prevent many people from seeking mental healthcare.

Mental health is often discussed as an awareness issue, but for many individuals, the challenge extends beyond awareness. Factors such as affordability, hesitation, stigma, and limited access to professional support can still stand between a person and the help they need.

Participating in Startup Mahakumbh allowed Mindhail to bring these conversations into the startup ecosystem and share its belief that innovation can also be used to address important social and healthcare challenges.

The event provided an opportunity to connect with people, exchange perspectives, and introduce more individuals to Mindhail's mission.

Startup Mahakumbh 2024 was another step in Mindhail's journey of bringing mental healthcare into larger conversations around innovation, accessibility, and social impact.
