Evolve is a health-tech startup that claims to be on a mission to make mental health safe, simple, and joyful! The Evolve app and its proprietary interface help users improve their mental well-being through interactive content based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The app currently has close to 100,000 users from across the world. The app’s founder Anshul Kamath began his career in London, working in Finance, following which he moved back to India to work in the startup ecosystem. After being diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease, he realized the importance of managing his own mental health and the severity of mental health as a problem in general.

In 2020, he founded Evolve to make mental health a priority for millions across the globe.

Before starting Evolve, I regularly facilitated mental health and wellness workshops across India. Therefore, our user experience and content are designed to simulate the effectiveness of in-person therapy and coaching sessions. We have created an intimate and interactive experience that makes our users feel safe and open up to themselves.
