Mental health platform LISSUN has acquired US-based mental wellbeing startup Being Cares Inc, strengthening its mission to create an AI-driven, child-first behavioural development ecosystem in India. With this acquisition, LISSUN gains full ownership of Being’s technology and team, combining therapist-led expertise with AI-powered hyper-personalized care capable of decoding over 40 emotional and behavioural conditions, including autism, ADHD, speech delays, and learning challenges. Being’s founders, Varun Gandhi (CEO) and Abhishek Sharma (CTO), have joined LISSUN as Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively. Being Cares Inc is a US-based mental health startup that provides AI-powered tools to map and address over 40 emotional and behavioral conditions. The platform uses data on real-world causes and effects to give personalized mental health guidance and has served nearly one million users globally. The integration aims to merge LISSUN’s clinical interventions with Being’s intelligent mental health mapping, which processes over 2,500 causes and real-world effects to deliver highly tailored guidance for parents and children. With Sunshine by LISSUN centres already addressing child development needs, this move positions LISSUN as a full-spectrum care provider, offering both digital guidance and in-person therapy through its growing phygital network. LISSUN plans to scale its Sunshine centres from 20 to over 200 in the next 2–4 years while expanding AI-led support via its virtual assistant, Ray, to millions of parents on platforms like WhatsApp. By combining real-time developmental insights, personalized therapy activities, and milestone tracking, the platform aims to deliver end-to-end mental health solutions across home, school, and clinical settings.

Exclusive: Good Monk to top up pre-Series A at 2.7X valuation premium Good Monk, the flagship brand of Superfoods Valley, is set to top up its pre-Series A round with Rs 25 crore ($2.7 Mn) in funding, led by existing investor RPSG Capital Ventures, with participation from Sharrp Ventures and others. This will be an extension of the company’s pre-Series A round, following its $2 million raise in April last year led by RPSG Ventures, with participation from Multiply Ventures, Sharrp Ventures, and ThinKuvate. The Good Monk’s board has passed a resolution to approve the issuance of 3,334 pre-Series A4 CCPS at an issue price of Rs 74,652.86 per share, to raise the aforementioned sum, according to its filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). RPSG Capital Ventures will lead the infusion with Rs 15.8 crore, followed by Sharrp Ventures, which will invest Rs 4.5 crore. The remaining amount will be contributed by Aashray Family Trust and angel investors Manmohan Singh, Srivar Harlalka, and Narinder Sawhney. According to Entrackr’s analysis, the company’s valuation will jump over 2.7X to Rs 175 crore, from Rs 64 crore in the previous round. The proceeds will be used to scale operations and expand the business. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Amarpreet Singh Anand and Sahiba Kaur, Good Monk offers nutrition products, including multivitamin and probiotic mixes and fiber supplements for kids and adults. It retails through its own website as well as leading e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, and Zepto. The Bengaluru-based company had raised nearly $3 million prior to this round. The startup recently appeared on Shark Tank Season 4 and secured a deal from Vineeta Singh, co-founder of Sugar Cosmetics. Following the infusion, RPSG Capital Ventures will hold a 19.78% stake in the company, while Sharrp Ventures will own 6.81%. The co-founders will collectively retain around a 40.18% stake. RPSG Capital is a notable investor in the health and wellness space and has backed several startups, including Nutrabay, Plix, and True Elements.
