Bringing Deep-Tech to Mental Healthcare
The Cadabams Group, one of India’s leading mental healthcare institutions, has invested $7.3 million (₹65 crore) in its newly launched digital mental health platform, MindTalk. The initiative marks one of the largest technology-led expansions in India’s mental health sector, combining Cadabams’ three decades of clinical experience with next-generation AI and deep learning systems.
The funds will be utilised over the next 12–18 months to enhance AI infrastructure, deepen clinical research integration, and expand MindTalk’s deep learning capabilities, the company said in a press release.
AI Meets Clinical Expertise
MindTalk’s deep agent model integrates large language models (LLMs), conversational AI, and adaptive learning systems developed under the supervision of senior clinicians. Unlike generic self-help chatbots, MindTalk offers evidence-based, clinician-aligned guidance, ensuring that every digital interaction maintains professional healthcare standards.
“With MindTalk, we are building a clinically intelligent digital companion that brings structured mental healthcare to anyone with a smartphone without losing the rigor and empathy of real-world therapy,” said Sandesh Cadabam, Executive Director, Cadabams Group.
Expanding Access to Care
Founded over 30 years ago, Cadabams Hospitals operates a network of 42 centres across India and the Maldives, providing psychiatric, psychological, and rehabilitative care. The group has served over 275,000 patients to date and plans to expand to 150–160 centres with 3,500 beds in the coming years.
The launch of MindTalk reflects the group’s mission to merge clinical expertise with AI, building scalable and accessible models of care that can bridge India’s growing mental health gap.
