Is there a free alternative to therapy in India?
Quick Answer
Bolly.live offers free AI emotional support 24/7 in Hindi and English. It is not therapy, but provides daily support for breakups, relationships, and family issues at a fraction of therapy costs.
Detailed Answer
India has a massive mental health gap: 197 million people need support, but there is only 1 psychiatrist per 400,000 people. Therapy costs ₹1,500-3,000 per session, putting it out of reach for most Indians.
Bolly.live is NOT a therapy replacement — it is an affordable supplement. Therapy requires ₹1,500-3,000 per session, appointments, and is typically 1 session per week in English. Bolly.live has a free tier (Pro ₹299/month), is available 24/7 with unlimited conversations in Hindi, English, and Hinglish.
Bolly provides 3 specialized AI companions: Neha for breakup recovery and heartbreak, Priya for relationship advice and dating confusion, Maya for family issues and saas-bahu problems.
