🧠 Why is accessing quality mental health care so hard? We sit down with Founder & CEO of @findoctave Sandeep Acharya to unpack some of the biggest industry challenges ⬇️
1️⃣ #MentalHealth is wildly underfunded.
2️⃣ There’s no clear standard for what “good” care looks like, making quality hard to measure.
3️⃣ #Therapy is a high-stakes matching problem – many people don’t know what kind of care they need and often get paired with the wrong provider.
🎙️ In our latest episode, Sandeep shares the why and how behind Octave’s mission to reimagine therapy at scale. Dive in wherever you get your podcasts (🔗 in bio)! #SouthAsianTrailblazers
🎙️🧠 Our next guest is… Sandeep Acharya, Founder & CEO of @findoctave — a company that’s quietly but powerfully transforming how we experience mental health care in America.
🏥 Sandeep’s perspective is uniquely personal. After being recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer, he experienced the system not just as a builder — but as a patient. That journey reshaped how he leads and how he lives.
💼 Before founding Octave, Sandeep wore many hats: investor at Bain Capital and Insight, consultant at Bain & Co., and executive at One Medical.
✨ In this episode, we go far beyond the bullet points — talking about the crisis of access, the stigma of therapy, the power of spirituality, and what it really takes to build a mission-driven company in a broken system.
This one’s for the builders, the believers, and anyone fighting their own battles 💛
