" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it represents a community of change makers who turn ideas into impact. I do the work I do to bridge gaps in accessibility—whether in mental health, finance, or education—because I believe innovation is most meaningful when it uplifts those who are often left behind. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: SafeCircle
SafeCircle is a mental health platform designed to bridge the accessibility gap for underserved populations in India by offering affordable therapy, community-driven awareness programs, and stigma reduction initiatives. Built as an aggregation platform, SafeCircle connects individuals with certified therapists, provides culturally sensitive support, and conducts large-scale engagement programs to normalize conversations around mental health. The project focuses on democratizing access to emotional well-being by lowering financial, cultural, and informational barriers that prevent people—especially students, low-income communities, and first-time help-seekers—from receiving timely support.
By combining technology, community outreach, and educational interventions, SafeCircle aims to build a sustainable ecosystem where mental health care becomes a right rather than a privilege
