How Karan is building a better working world 

Certain life events can be stressful and the genesis of the company we started was to find ways to make this as efficient as possible; to be there for people in moments that truly matter. An extension of that thinking is continuing to lend expertise to innovators that are addressing pressing issues, such as mental wellbeing in the US and in developing countries, where access to such services is still limited.
