My Safe Spaces

What My Safe Spaces does

My Safe Spaces is an India-focused mental wellness company operating through MSS Services India LLP (headquartered at 250 Udyog Vihar, Phase 4, Gurugram) alongside a US parent entity, My Safe Spaces, Inc. It serves four customer segments through an integrated ecosystem: K-12 and higher education institutions via the SWISS (Student Wellbeing and Institutional Safety Standards) certification framework, corporate workplaces via the CREW program, mental health professionals via the ELEVATE training program, and individual consumers via the Personal Wellness vertical offering one-on-one therapy. The company contextualizes demand against rising Indian mental health needs, citing 13,892 student suicides in India in 2023 (a 65% increase over the past decade) and a ₹1.1 lakh crore annual workplace mental health burden.

The platform is anchored by IntellicareAI, a 24/7 conversational AI companion supporting multiple Indian languages (English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and more) with evidence-based coping strategies, crisis detection with human escalation, and private journaling with mood tracking. Content is grounded in a meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials on gatekeeper training (Liu et al. 2025, BMC Public Health) reporting effect sizes of 0.72 (knowledge), 0.73 (self-efficacy), and 0.69 (preparedness). The SWISS framework is described as internationally accredited, and the company holds UK CPD Standards Office accreditation for its training programs. The company has also produced the award-winning book 'Navigating the Digital Maze' (International Impact Book Award 2026) authored by founder Hubert A. Jerome as a thought leadership asset.

Commercially, My Safe Spaces combines a sales-led enterprise motion (discovery-call-driven contracts for schools and corporate clients) with an inside-sales catalog for professional development and a direct-to-consumer channel for personal therapy, with IntellicareAI serving as a top-of-funnel acquisition tool. Revenue streams include recurring SWISS certification contracts for schools, CREW per-seat or enterprise subscriptions for workplaces, ELEVATE course subscriptions for clinicians, and per-session or package pricing for individual therapy. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a consultative basis for institutional clients. Named institutional customers include DPS Gurgaon (SWISS pioneer), Shivalik Ganges Public School (first in Uttarakhand to adopt SWISS Essentials), and APL Global School Chennai, with recent leadership additions including Dr. Ram Mahalingam (Chief Learning Officer and Strategic Advisor) and Gita Jagannathan (SWISS Certification Council).
