Fireside Ventures leads funding round of Rs 50 crore in Amaha

The Amaha mental health ecosystem provides treatment and care for a range of mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, and addictions. The organisation was founded by psychiatrist and healthcare entrepreneur Dr Amit Malik and joined by social entrepreneur Neha Kirpal as co-founder, to address the mental health treatment gap prevalent in India.

Dr. Amit Malik, Founder and CEO of Amaha, expressing his eagerness about the recent funding, stated, “The INR 50+ Crore infusion helps consolidate Amaha’s position as the leading mental healthcare provider in India and accelerates the company’s strategic expansion plans, as it continues to address the dynamic mental health challenges faced by individuals, families and organisations across the country. The partnership with Fireside Ventures creates exciting possibilities for cross-sectoral collaborations, propelling Amaha’s efforts to mainstream mental health access to all those in need.”

Ankur Khaitan, Principal, Fireside Ventures said, “At Fireside, our outlook is to look for companies building for well-being and in that context, the space of addressing mental health issues is a large unmet need in India. Amaha with their deep clinical expertise and unique business model across digital and offline clinics will be able to solve for awareness and access to a wider audience.”
