His chief responsibilities entail looking after Marketing, Financing, Technology and overall business strategy.*
Arindam Sen has a Master’s degree in economics from the Delhi School of
Economics and Masters in Finance from the Department of Financial studies, Delhi University. He began his professional journey in the year 1994 with IFCI Ltd and in the period of 21 years he had worked as a finance professional in various prestigious organizations like IL&FS, GE Capital and Deutsche Bank AG. After working in corporate finance for 21 years coupled with personal experience where he experienced lack of support system for people suffering
from emotional & health issues. So, in the year 2016 he conceived an idea of zyego, setting up, India’s first completely anonymous psychological counselling service via a mobile application. Users can speak or chat with
a professional psychologist real time, anytime, from anywhere in India. They can discuss various issues which generate stress, anxiety, depression related to work, relationships, marriage, children to name a few.
Arindam started his entrepreneurial journey after leaving a 20 year career in corporate finance. He has had extensive caregiving experience of about two decadeswith his parents which brought him in close contact with the mental health space, the people and the healthcare infrastructure. The biggest issue was people and families not wanting to disclose or discuss mental and emotional issues with people around them, seek help and get professional support and guidance. This was an untapped area where technology could play a key role
in connecting users to practitioners using a mobile based application similar to Whatsapp. Users can connect in complete anonymity and discuss issues which cause stress and concern from anywhere in India, without the
need for travel or fixing appointments or being seen going to a psychologist. In his free time, he like to listen to travel, listen to music and is a
keen photographer.
