Creative Minds

What Creative Minds does

Creative Minds is a multispecialty rehabilitation and mental health centre founded in 2012 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, by Dr. Priyanka Singh, a Rehabilitation Psychologist and Com DEALL Master Trainer. The company delivers therapy and education services to children with neurodevelopmental conditions (autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, learning disabilities) and their families, alongside an adult mental health counselling programme. Core offerings span occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, behavior modification (ABC model), aquatic therapy, music therapy, special education, group therapy, and psychological evaluation, delivered by a team of 80+ professionals (RCI-registered psychologists, BASLP speech pathologists, certified aquatic trainers, and PhD-qualified music therapists) across four physical centres in Lucknow (Sitapur Road headquarters, Gomti Nagar, Ashiyana) and Gorakhpur.

The technology layer consists of evidence-based clinical protocols (Com DEALL 10-month early intervention programme licensed from Com DEALL Trust Bangalore under an 11-year affiliation, AAC-based learning methodology, and ABC behavior modification framework) supported by two digital tools: the RithM web-based reporting system for systematic progress tracking, and the Com DEALL Mobile Application for parent engagement. Proprietary IP includes the Growing Safely Kit (a personal safety and sexuality etiquette resource for children aged 4-8) and the Vocational Bridge pre-vocational programme for adolescents aged 8-12. Newer launches include the Inclusion Bridge (IB) Pre-School (March 2026), the Creative Minds Digital Academy, and a Mental Health Counselling Programme extending services to adults.

The business model is a fee-for-service, direct-delivery model with no public pricing — parents book assessments through website forms or phone contact and pay per session or per programme. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven through parent testimonials, community word-of-mouth, and content marketing (blog, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram). The company claims 25,000+ cumulative assessments conducted over 12+ years of operation, with a stated self-positioning as a leading autism centre in Lucknow. There is no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public listing; ownership remains founder-led and private.

Direct peers

• Com DEALL Trust (Bangalore): Com DEALL Trust Bangalore is the originator of the structured Com DEALL group intervention program; Creative Minds has been an affiliate for 11 years. They share service protocols, manualized assessments, and the same core therapy categories (OT, speech, behavior) for young children with developmental delays.
• Spero Center for Child Development: Spero is a Bangalore-based therapy and special education center serving children with autism, ADHD, and developmental disabilities with OT, speech, and behavioral services. Comparable to Creative Minds in therapy modalities, age range, and family-centered care model.
• Latika Roy Foundation: Latika Roy Foundation in Dehradun provides inclusive education, early intervention, and vocational training for children and young adults with developmental disabilities. Comparable to Creative Minds in the pediatric-to-adolescent transition arc (early intervention through Vocational Bridge).
• Enfold Proactive Health: Enfold is a Bengaluru-based NGO offering comprehensive health and life skills programs for children and adolescents, including sexual safety education and life skills. Directly comparable to Creative Minds' Growing Safely Kit and personal safety education focus.
• Children First (India): Children First is a Mumbai/Hyderabad chain offering multidisciplinary child development services including OT, speech therapy, behavior therapy, and special education for autism and learning disabilities. Closely aligned with Creative Minds across therapy disciplines and target population.
• Ummeed Child Development Center: Ummeed is a Mumbai-based non-profit providing multidisciplinary therapy and early intervention for children with developmental disabilities (autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities). It mirrors Creative Minds' multidisciplinary, family-centered, evidence-based care model for neurodivergent children in India.

Emerging players

• Cadabams Mindtalk / Amaha: Amaha (formerly InnerHour) is a digital mental health platform offering online therapy, psychiatry, and self-care tools across India. Competes with Creative Minds' online counselling stream and represents the digital-first delivery model threatening traditional centers.
• Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers: Hopebridge is a US-based chain of autism therapy centers offering ABA, OT, and speech therapy with a center-based delivery model. Reflects the franchise-able, multi-site center model that Creative Minds could emulate if scaling beyond Lucknow and Gorakhpur.

Broad incumbents

• Cadabams Healthcare: Cadabams is one of India's largest mental health and deaddiction providers, with inpatient/outpatient services, rehab, and counseling. Overlaps with Creative Minds' Mental Health Counselling Program on psychology and addiction services for both children and adults.
• Manipal Hospital Pediatric Rehabilitation: Manipal and other large hospital chains offer pediatric OT, speech, and behavioral therapy as part of broader multispecialty hospital systems. Compete with Creative Minds on trust, payer contracts, and one-stop convenience rather than specialization in neurodevelopment.
