Building India's Mental Health Infrastructure Layer

Zenquip is pioneering an AI-powered adherence intelligence platform that fundamentally transforms mental healthcare delivery in India. We're creating a closed-loop clinical system that seamlessly connects patients with their psychiatrists.

The opportunity

Zenquip is not just another mental health app—it's the infrastructure layer that mental healthcare has been missing. Our proprietary RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) model serves as the therapeutic AI engine, orchestrating structured therapy modules whilst maintaining clinical safety and traceability.

We're addressing the critical gap between psychiatric sessions through intelligent adherence monitoring, personalised therapeutic interventions, and real-time clinical intelligence—all whilst maintaining the human-in-the-loop safeguards essential for mental healthcare.

Mental healthcare in India is episodic—not continuous

50%Patient dropout within first 30 days
0.75Psychiatrists per 100,000 population
Zero visibility between sessions
Reactive relapse detection only

Today's mental healthcare follows a broken pattern: Session → Gap → Relapse → Restart. There is no adherence intelligence layer connecting these dots. The fundamental problem isn't just access to care—it's the complete absence of continuity between clinical touchpoints.

The real problem is not access. It's adherence. Patients struggle with consistent adherence even when they have access to quality care.

Closed-loop clinical intelligence

Zenquip creates an integrated ecosystem where patient adherence, AI-guided therapy, and clinical oversight work together. This isn't three separate products—it's a unified infrastructure layer that transforms mental healthcare delivery from episodic to continuous.

Patient engagement layer

Intuitive mobile experience for daily adherence tracking, AI-guided therapy modules, and direct connection to the psychiatrist's care plan.

AI orchestration engine

Proprietary RAG system delivering structured therapeutic content, detecting risk patterns, and escalating appropriately to clinical oversight.

Clinical intelligence dashboard

Psychiatrist-facing platform providing adherence analytics, risk alerts, digital prescribing, and practice management tools.

Zennie: the therapeutic AI engine

Zennie is our core technical differentiation—a proprietary RAG architecture designed for controlled therapeutic interventions. This isn't a general-purpose chatbot wrapped in mental health branding. It's a clinically controlled orchestration system.

Zenquip's RAG system provides clinical traceability, reduced hallucination risk, regulatory alignment, and generates a structured longitudinal behavioural dataset that compounds into a defensible moat.

Market opportunity

500M+People facing mental health challenges in India
13KTotal psychiatrists in India
$70B+Global digital mental health TAM

We're building infrastructure first, not pursuing viral consumer growth. Clinical integration creates defensibility before scaling. Initial wedge: top 3,000 metro psychiatrists serving urban private practice.

Business model: phased revenue

Phase 1: B2C subscription

₹299/month — Patient-facing subscription. Low friction entry; psychiatrist-referred patients preferred.

Phase 2: Zenquip SaaS

₹2,000/doctor/month — Professional platform: adherence analytics, digital prescribing, practice management.

Phase 3: Enterprise licensing

₹100–150/employee/month — Corporate mental health programmes with annual contracts.

Traction & milestones

Current: MVP complete. Proprietary RAG deployed. Clinical validation led by Dr. Gaurav Maggu. Capital efficient (₹50,000/month burn).

Next 12 months: 500 beta patients → 20 psychiatrists onboarded → 3 enterprise pilots → structured adherence dataset → paid beta launch.

3-year snapshot: Year 1 ~₹7L revenue (B2C); Year 2 ~₹1–1.2 Cr (B2B); Year 3 ~₹5–7 Cr, path to break-even, 70–80% gross margins.
