CogniABle

What CogniABle does

CogniAble is a digital health company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Gurgaon, India, that combines Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy with a proprietary mobile and web platform for early detection and intervention of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Its core product is the CogniAble App — an end-to-end assistive platform offering a 10-minute autism screening questionnaire for children aged 1.5–5 years, the VB-MAPP assessment instrument, video-tutored ABA curriculum, individualized education plans (IEPs), and an automated reporting system that generates 17+ daily/weekly/monthly progress reports. The platform was developed by IIT-Delhi researchers and is clinically validated for the Indian population through partnerships with NIMHANS, AIIMS Jodhpur, Maulana Azad Medical College, Safdarjung Hospital, CIP Ranchi, and Latur Medical College.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model that pairs 12+ physical therapy centers across Delhi-NCR and other Indian cities (Noida, Sonipat, Kolkata, Rewari, Hisar, Bhiwadi) with a globally accessible digital app on iOS, Android, and web. Center-based, home-based, and online therapy delivery channels offer multidisciplinary services spanning ABA, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, sensory integration, music therapy, yoga therapy, special education, and vocational training. Pricing is set in USD for digital products at low price points (Therapy service $8/user/month, VB-MAPP $20/user/year, Screening $6/test), while in-person therapy is priced in INR; an ABA professional training program provides additional revenue.

CogniAble reports 340,000+ therapy sessions conducted, 4,500+ parents enrolled, and 100+ team experts. It is led by co-founders Manu Kohli (CTO) and Swati Kohli (Clinical Director, BCBA), alongside CEO Dr. Himanshu Khurana, co-founder and pediatric neurologist Dr. Rakesh K. Jain (UK-trained, FRCPCH), and Chief of Engineering Dr. Prathosh A.P. (IISc Bangalore). Senior mentors include Dr. Stephen Friend (Sage Bionetworks, Harvard Medical School) and former CSIR Director General Dr. Samir K. Brahmachari. The company has no disclosed external funding and operates as an independent private entity.

Direct peers

• Cognoa: U.S.-based AI-driven autism diagnosis and therapy company with FDA-cleared diagnostic products. Directly comparable as a tech-enabled autism assessment and intervention platform, though focused primarily on U.S. clinical pathways versus CogniAble's emerging-market therapy-plus-platform model.
• CentralReach: Practice management and clinical platform for ABA therapy providers, including scheduling, billing, and data collection. Highly comparable in providing the digital backbone for ABA therapy delivery, though CogniAble also operates its own clinical services rather than selling software-only.
• BlueSprig Pediatrics: Large U.S. multi-site ABA therapy provider for children with autism. Comparable as a center-based ABA operator with digital enablers, but operating at much greater scale and in a different geography.
• Hopebridge: Multi-state U.S. provider of ABA, occupational, speech, and feeding therapy for children with autism. Comparable multidisciplinary therapy delivery model with center-based operations and digital parent engagement.
• Cortica: Integrated medical and ABA therapy provider for children with autism combining neurology, ABA, OT, and speech. Comparable multidisciplinary, tech-enabled autism care model with both clinical and digital components.

Emerging players

• Therapy Brands: Allied software suite for ABA, OT, and speech therapy practices. Comparable as software infrastructure for therapy providers; now part of CentralReach, intensifying overlap with CogniAble's digital offering.
• BehaviorLens: AI-driven ABA practice management and clinical decision support. Closely comparable to CogniAble's platform ambition for AI-assisted autism intervention workflows.
• EarliTec Diagnostics: Early-stage company developing AI-based objective diagnostic tools for autism spectrum disorder using eye-tracking. Comparable on the AI-driven autism screening/diagnosis axis that CogniAble is pursuing with its screening questionnaire and computer vision roadmap.
• Eleos Health: AI-assisted clinical documentation and progress tracking for behavioral health providers. Comparable technology approach (automated report generation, AI-assisted session insights) targeting similar ABA/behavioral health practitioners.

Regional players

• Springtide Child Development: U.S.-based multi-site operator offering ABA, speech, OT and diagnostic services for children with autism. Comparable integrated center-based autism services model, but U.S.-focused versus CogniAble's India-centric footprint.
