Founded in 2020, United We Care currently has operations in India, Singapore, and the US. The platform, both website and app, provides scientifically validated programmes and courses, self-help content, and hosts certified emotional wellness experts, primarily dealing with problems related to sleep issues, addiction, anxiety, trauma, depression, identity challenges, career, parenting, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and mood disorders, for individuals, families, and employees.
United has proprietary interface—virtual wellness expert, ‘Stella’—developed by neuroscientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, that speaks 29 languages and understands over 40 emotions.
“We provide mainstream and alternative therapies (through both recorded and live sessions) ranging from yoga to meditation, art therapy to dance movement and even music therapy all under one roof. This investment will help us accelerate the development of our platforms which will be available to people facing problems related to any mental health issue.” said Ritu Mehrotra, Founder and CEO, United We Care.
Currently, the platform claims to have over half-a-million active users, of which 56% are returning users, and the average time spent on the app is 18 minutes. It has so far clocked 200,000 subscriptions and reached over 50 cities.
