He took part in many crucial cases so that people wouldn’t have to struggle to avail the services.

This initiative positions him at the forefront of digital mental health transformation in India.

This intelligent and empathetic virtual companion is capable of responding to anxiety, stress, depression, and other emotional challenges—making mental health support more inclusive, scalable, and accessible worldwide. This path-breaking initiative underlines Sibi’s belief that no one should be left unheard or unsupported, no matter where they are.
