Our Story

About Spandana Foundation

Spandana— a Sanskrit word meaning “vibration” or “resonance” — reflects our belief that healing begins when we tune into the deepest frequencies of our inner selves.

Founded in 2014, we are a non-profit foundation dedicated to making quality mental healthcare accessible, affordable, and free of stigma. We serve individuals, families, and communities across India with compassion and clinical excellence.
