SAJIDA Foundation has announced the successful closure of a pre-seed funding round with Relaxy Limited, a tech-based wellness platform focused on improving the accessibility and quality of mental health services in Bangladesh.
Relaxy's data-driven approach to mental health services is changing the landscape of mental health support in Bangladesh by making it more accessible and stigma-free.
With the investment from SAJIDA Foundation, Relaxy can expand its reach and impact, bringing its personalised psychosocial and well-being support services to more people.
Relaxy has already built a community of more than 11,000 users and has developed a comprehensive platform that helps individuals achieve their desired emotional, social, and psychological potential.
Jahnnobi Rahman, the Founder and CEO of Relaxy, said, “We are thrilled to receive the support provided by SAJIDA Foundation - this represents a critical milestone in our journey towards building the next generation of digital mental healthcare in Bangladesh".
With SAJIDA Foundation's extensive experience in providing healthcare services to underserved communities, Relaxy can leverage its expertise, knowledge, and resources to expand and increase its impact.
This partnership will further enable us to work towards a shared vision of developing a more comprehensive and effective mental healthcare system in the country.
Dr Ashique Selim, advisor of Mental Health programmes at SAJIDA Foundation, said, “Our organisation is dedicated to investing in innovative solutions that address mental health challenges in Bangladesh.
Given the current state of mental healthcare in the country, characterized by a shortage of mental health professionals, limited access to mental health services (especially in rural areas), and pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness, leveraging technology to enhance access to quality mental healthcare is crucial.
Relaxy’s platform has the potential to revolutionize mental health services in Bangladesh, and SAJIDA Foundation is eager to support its growth, he added.
