People often rush to seek medical help when faced with physical pain but tend to ignore or invalidate emotional struggles. While other organs receive care and rest, the mind is frequently neglected. This paradox gave rise to Raahee—a platform designed to validate emotional needs and offer the mental health support that is often overlooked.

In the summer of 2019, a tragic story unfolded when a young student, after not securing a place in IIT, took his own life. Surrounded by family and friends, yet unable to access the professional help needed, this young life was lost. This incident shed light on the critical need for mental health support in India, where stigma, lack of awareness, and limited resources prevent many from seeking help. The desire to prevent such tragedies inspired the creation of Raahee, a platform dedicated to providing accessible mental and emotional health services.

This tragedy struck a deep chord with many, especially those who had experienced similar struggles. The realization that mental health often goes unnoticed and untreated led to an urgent need to create a solution. Extensive research into the mental health landscape in India revealed gaps in the existing resources, which became the foundation for Raahee. The platform was created with the mission of making mental health services accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

The idea for Raahee quickly gained support, and a team of three individuals was formed, all driven by the common goal of breaking down the barriers surrounding mental health and providing affordable care. However, turning an idea into a reality required guidance, resources, and mentorship. thingQbator played a pivotal role in the development of Raahee. Through their mentorship, the team was encouraged to explore existing solutions, identify areas for improvement, and refine their approach. Prashant Sir and Arun Sir provided invaluable support, helping to transform a vague concept into a viable mental health platform.

The journey to launching Raahee was not without challenges. Balancing the demands of college during the day and startup work at night, the team often worked until the early hours of the morning. Despite the fatigue, they remained committed to their vision. Their dedication paid off when the first version of the Raahee app was launched on the PlayStore. It was a moment of triumph, representing countless hours of effort, determination, and perseverance.

Raahee is now a growing mental health platform, committed to raising awareness about mental health issues through social media, blogs, and workshops. The platform connects individuals with experienced therapists at affordable rates and produces content that resonates with current trends while addressing critical mental health topics. Raahee’s mission is to make mental and emotional health services accessible to all, and it continues to grow in both reach and impact.

thingQbator played a vital role in Raahee’s success, offering mentorship, guidance, and resources throughout the development process. The program helps budding entrepreneurs refine their ideas, build MVPs, and connect with mentors who can provide crucial insights. Raahee’s success is a testament to the importance of having the right support system in place during the entrepreneurial journey.
