Being’s evidence-led mental health framework delivers deeply personalized care by analyzing and interpreting over 40 emotional and behavioral conditions with precision.
Haryana | July 24, 2025 — Indian mental health pioneer LISSUN has acquired US-based Being Cares Inc, a tech-driven mental wellbeing startup known for its intelligent mapping of emotional and behavioural conditions. The move marks a strategic leap toward building India’s most comprehensive child-first behavioural development platform—integrating deep clinical care with AI-led personalization.
Merging Compassion with Technology
Being, recipient of Google’s Best App for Good, built a mental health model dubbed the “Google Maps for Mental Health”, serving nearly 1 million global users and decoding over 40 conditions like anxiety, depression, burnout, and parenting challenges. Its AI engine processes 2,500+ causes and real-world effects, offering hyper-personalized, science-backed care. LISSUN now extends this system to cover child-centric conditions such as autism, ADHD, learning delays, and speech challenges.
One Intelligent System for the Entire Family
The integration enables LISSUN’s AI—Ray—to grow with families, supporting parents and children alike from early signs to long-term therapy. The enhanced platform offers tailored guidance from first interaction, dynamic progress tracking, and personalized activities—elevating the standard of care across digital and clinical touchpoints.
Leadership Unified by Purpose
Varun Gandhi and Abhishek Sharma, Co-founders of Being Cares, now join LISSUN as Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively—bringing their AI mental health expertise into LISSUN’s expanding family-centric care model.
“We’re building a future where technology amplifies human care,” said Varun Gandhi. “This marks a complete reimagining of how mental healthcare can serve entire families,” added Tarun Gupta, Co-Founder, LISSUN.
Scaling Sunshine Centers & Digital Access
LISSUN plans to scale its Sunshine by Lissun centers from 20 to 200+ locations within 2–4 years, while Ray will engage millions of parents via platforms like WhatsApp, delivering real-time, accessible support across home, school, and clinics.
Beyond Acquisition: Ecosystem Building
LISSUN emphasizes this is not part of a buying spree, but a mission-aligned expansion. The company remains open to collaborating with early-stage ventures solving for India’s mental health challenges—believing that collective innovation is key to long-term impact.
