Ankita Puri is the Co-founder and CEO of Healtheminds – India’s leading online platform dedicated to providing mental health counselling and wellness advice.
Ankita graduated in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Business from Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, United States. She went on to work as an Investment Banking Analyst with UBS, Mergers and Acquisitions group in New York focussing on the US healthcare sector.
She returned to India in 2010 to participate in the exciting growth story of India and especially leverage the use of technology to innovate delivery of healthcare services. She joined Teleradiology Solutions (TRS) spearheading business development to move forward global healthcare delivery out of India.
In 2013, Ankita started researching the mental health space in India and saw a huge need to use technology to help overcome the cultural barriers including stigma, low awareness and poor access to democratize the access to good quality mental health. For the last 18 months she has dedicated her time and efforts to build a world class Online Mental Health Counselling portal (Healtheminds.com) providing therapy programs through an integrated and secure video technology platform.
Healtheminds has gathered a lot of interest in the media being featured in YourStory, The Hindu, Times of  India, Asian Age, Indian Express, Hindustan Times etc. The company received the Start-up finalist award for the EO Entrepreneurs program.
Ankita is passionate about increasing awareness around mental health and emotional wellbeing, encouraging and empowering others to reach out to help themselves.
Ankita Puri will be sharing her experiences with scaling up at multiple start-ups, at the Women’s Web event, Breaking Barriers To Growth: The Money Edition. Get your pass now!
