Being Cares

Being Cares, Inc. is a health tech startup that developed Being, an AI-powered mobile application for mental wellness. Founded in 2020 by Varun Gandhi and Abhishek Sharma, the company is based in Bengaluru, India, and also incorporated in Delaware, US.

The Being app is designed to help users map and address mental health concerns through an accessible interface. It provides personalized mini-therapy sessions, AI-powered journaling, and educational insights into psychological concepts. The application utilizes a combination of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, EMDR, and DBT, to address issues like anxiety, stress, depression, and burnout. Features include guided meditations, calming music, and interactive exercises. The app's AI, named PSY, offers personalized psycho-educational content to help users understand their issues.

In July 2025, Being Cares was acquired by LISSUN, a mental health platform. This strategic acquisition merged LISSUN's network of therapists with Being Cares' AI technology to create a more comprehensive family-focused mental health ecosystem. Following the acquisition, Varun Gandhi joined LISSUN as Chief Product Officer and Abhishek Sharma as Chief Technology Officer. The business operates on a subscription model and is available on both iOS and Android platforms, with a free version also planned. Prior to its acquisition, Being Cares had received investments from firms such as Astir Ventures, Better Capital, and Multiply Ventures.
