Our story

In response to the alarming rise in the suicide rate among farmers, Incor incubated Praan back in 2018. We understand the deep challenges faced by farmers, and we're here to make a difference. Praan is not just a mental health foundation; it's a family, and we're based right here in Hyderabad.

Our mission is deeply personal. We want to promote mental well-being by providing accessible and affordable mental health care to each and every one of you.

With a compassionate and client-focused approach, our goal is to create a safe haven where you feel comfortable discussing your mental well-being. With five years of experience, we have touched over 10,000 lives, preventing self-harm and suicide.
