New Delhi, July 28, 2025 — In a landmark step toward transforming mental healthcare, nwnt.ai, in collaboration with the eMental Health International Collaborative (eMHIC), convened a high-level Expert Dialogue at The LaLiT Hotel, New Delhi. The forum brought together global leaders in mental health to champion routine emotional wellness screenings across schools, workplaces, and communities as a critical foundation for a mentally resilient India.
This bilateral dialogue focused on scalable, sustainable digital solutions tailored to India’s vast infrastructure and technological strength.
The panel featured key voices, including Professor Anil Thapliyal, CEO, eMHIC (New Zealand) & Dr. Sandeep Vohra, Founder Chairman nwnt.ai . The dialogue emphasized the need for user-first, tech-enabled strategies supported by robust policy and global best practices tailored for India’s diverse landscape.
Key Focus Areas Discussed:
- Making emotional wellness audits available across educational institutions and workplaces Training India’s mental health workforce in digital tools for early detection and intervention
- Leveraging India’s digital infrastructure to improve access to mental health information, screening, care, support and treatment across the vast geography of India
- Co-designing solutions with people who have lived mental health experience
“Digital mental health must work for everyone—especially those with lived experience, their families, and caregivers,” emphasized Professor Anil Thapliyal, CEO, eMHIC. “With mental health needs rising globally and access still limited, India’s unique combination of digital scale, tech innovation, and public readiness creates an unparalleled opportunity to build a safe, evidence-based, and inclusive mental health ecosystem. With collaborative policy, rigorous validation, and investment in workforce training, India can not only meet its own needs but set a global standard.”
“India has a real opportunity to lead the world in digital mental health—not just through innovation, but by ensuring emotional wellness screenings become as routine as physical checkups,” said Dr. Sandeep Vohra, Founder of nwnt.ai. “With rising mental health concerns and over 80% lacking timely access to care, early detection must be integrated into schools, workplaces, and communities. Our digital infrastructure gives us the tools—what we need now is action.”
