The journey begins
A private companion for the ordinary weight of a hard stretch. ManaSmurti is now open to users in India, with a free plan that needs no card. Built in Bangalore.
Today we open ManaSmurti to the public.
We built it for the people we love who were carrying things they could not quite put down, and had said everything they could to the people closest to them. Not a clinical condition. Not a crisis. Just the ordinary weight of a hard stretch, with nowhere good to take it.
ManaSmurti is a companion platform for those moments. A private space to think out loud, to name what you are feeling, and to come back to your own thinking. Not therapy. Not an assistant. Not a content feed. A companion that sits with you, asks the right kind of question, and does not rush to fix anything.
What is available today
The free plan is live for everyone in India. Ten conversations a day, every day, no card needed and no trial clock. Conversations are encrypted before they touch our database, using the same standard banks use. Your words are never shared with advertisers, never used to train any outside system, and never read by our team.
A curated selection of short guided practices is included on every plan. Each one is a single quiet outcome, drawn from Indian contemplative traditions and contemporary research on how the mind settles. We will keep adding more as each earns its place.
Why India first
The treatment gap for mental health in India is close to eighty percent, and the stigma around seeking help is real. For most people carrying the everyday pressure of work, family, and uncertainty, there has been no middle ground between suffering in silence and booking a clinical appointment three weeks out. ManaSmurti is that middle ground.
We have designed for Indian users first, in simple Indian English, with curated Indian helplines for moments that are bigger than a companion can hold. As each practice is tuned, ManaSmurti will open to users around the world.
What comes next
More guides are on the way. Paid plans for people who want more room to talk will open soon for waitlist sign-ups. A private companion for employee teams is in early design partnerships with a small number of HR leaders. If you are looking after a team and want to be part of that early cohort, the for-teams page has the form.
If you want to try it yourself, the free plan is at manasmurti.com/register. If you have questions for the team, write to press@manasmurti.com.
