India carries a 70–90% mental-health treatment gap. Helplines catch the crisis; therapy reaches those who can afford it. In between are millions carrying heaviness without a name for it. Manitya is for that in-between — a page for each feeling, in the languages of home. Growing it is more than one person can do. That's where you come in.
Where you might fit.
Writers
Emotion pages and real, lived stories — in Hindi, Marathi, or English.
Translators
Bring the words home — vernacular reading-notes, authored with care, never auto-translated.
Mental-health reviewers
Psychologists, counsellors, or psychology students to keep the tone safe, accurate, and kind.
Designers & illustrators
Gentle visuals and quiet design, in the sand aesthetic Manitya is built on.
Developers
Front-end help to grow the site, keep it fast, and keep it free.
Outreach & community
Sharing, partnerships, and finding the people who need this most.
Lived experience
Share your story — anonymously, if you wish — so someone reading at 2 a.m. feels less alone.
Something else?
Don't see your skill here? Tell us anyway. Good people find good work to do.
Want to help?
Tell us a little about yourself — what you'd like to do, and how much time you have. No experience required for many of these, and lived experience is its own kind of expertise.
Manitya will always be free to read, with no ads and no selling of data. It grows only through people who choose to give a little of their time. Thank you for considering it.
