In a nation where conversations about mental health still often stay in the shadows, two teenagers are leading a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionize the way mental wellbeing is perceived and addressed.
Dhruv Gupta and Zohhad Jamal, both just in their late teens, have embarked on a mission to build India’s first AI-based mental health assessment approach through their startup venture, thetortue.com.
With a vision to cultivate a culture of openness and acceptance surrounding mental health, thetortue.com is crafting a cutting-edge platform that will enable individuals to conduct self-assessments in a non-judgmental environment. Their platform aims to empower users to recognize, understand, and address their mental health concerns without fear of stigma or discrimination.
Dhruv Gupta, who is from Moradabad and already a published author at the age of 16 with his book titled Stop Running, brings a profound understanding of mental health issues and a passion for advocating youth wellbeing.
For the past two years, Dhruv has been diligently unifying his interests in AI technology and mental health to create impactful solutions.
Dhruv also brings his past experience of running a marketing agency brandcontrols.in, in which he learned to manage business finance and leadership.
Zohhad Jamal, who is from Muzaffarpur creates and manages the content to be published under thetortue.com, he is a landscape photographer and his traveling experience brings fresh insights about the problem of people at ground zero.
At the core of thetortue.com’s mission is the belief that early intervention and self-awareness are key to encouraging better mental health outcomes. By leveraging AI-driven tools, the startup aims to strengthen the cognitive faculties that support mental wellbeing while mitigating factors that contribute to distress and imbalance.
How thetortue.com Works
Tortue plans to connect with education institutions for the mass adaptation of their assessment tool.
Using thetortue.com is simple and easy. You visit the website and answer some questions about how you’re feeling. These questions are designed to help you reflect on your emotions and thoughts.
Once you’ve completed the assessment, the website generates a report based on your answers. This report provides insights into your mental health and offers suggestions on how you can improve your well-being.
For example, if the assessment reveals that you’re feeling stressed, the website might recommend practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness. If you’re feeling lonely, it might suggest reaching out to friends or family for support.
Currently, thetortue.com only offers a B2B service, you can connect with them as an institution here: thetortue.com/connect
“Our goal is to establish a non-discriminatory, welcoming environment where individuals can openly engage and discuss mental wellbeing and self-diagnose without stigma,” says Dhruv, outlining the spirit driving thetortue.com’s development.
As mental health continues to emerge as a pressing concern, particularly among the youth demographic, initiatives like thetortue.com hold immense promise in destigmatizing the conversation and equipping individuals with the tools they need to prioritize their wellbeing.
“Our big dream is to help kids and adults all over India feel better about themselves. We know that when you feel good inside, you can do amazing things outside. And we are determined to make it happen” said Dhruv and Zohhad.
