Behind Evolve, co-founder’s journey and a larger mission to support LGBTQIA+

Evolve, a mental health app aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community, developed from the experiences of one of the founder’s life journeys. “I was in one of the best MBA colleges, and I couldn’t think about my future. This personal experience led me to realise that the problem is massive, and I wanted to help members of this community,” said Rohan Arora, co-founder of Evolve.

Arora and Anshul Kamath wanted to make a mental health application for everybody, and they ended up launching the app without the inclusive element. However, Arora and the team learned that many users of the app are from the LGBTQIA+ community. Based on primary data and Arora’s personal experiences, the app was transformed from just another mental health app to one that is more inclusive.
