Baatkaro stands for sharing and talking it out. It is India's most affordable counseling platform providing psychological help 24*7.
Humans are the most unique, complicated and developed beings. They have the maximum capacity for productivity as well as destruction. All of this is possible because of our mental faculty unique to our species. The most mysterious is the mind as it's depth is unfathomable. Whatever action and inaction we take along with our perceptions of struggle, failure and success is because of our minds. However sometimes it loses direction and we become derailed by Mental health issues. That's where a platform like Baatkaro plays its role.
Counseling helps to get another's perception and guide our mental processes. Baatkaro operates on the motto of ' We are the One when you have No one' led by founder, director, Khumesh Patil. It was started out of a great personal loss when no affordable help seemed to be available.
Wide gap exists between the demand for mental health services and available resources in the country. A large part of India's population still bears stigma regarding the true nature of mental health & illness and available treatment options. This is because of the dualistic approach towards Mind & Body and in not viewing it as a single entity.
Starting from a remote small town in North Maharashtra, today Baatkaro is in one of India's Top 500 StartUp Hall of Fame by Kuberan House.
Over the last one year, it has catered 400+ Free Counselling sessions, saved 190+ lives and has been able to psycho-educate more than 20k rural people so as to ask and get professional help at the earliest.
It also featured in YOURSTORY and "THE KRANTIDHARA" { Odisha's leading Newspaper} and won several Entrepreneurial Competitions in various Leading Universities.
With the goal of spreading Mental health awareness across India, Baatkaro works with a dedicated team of psychologists, counsellors and international life coaches, who are multi-lingual pro
