Amaha Launches its First Private Super Specialty In-patient Mental Health Hospital in Bengaluru

Amaha, India's leading provider of mental health services, has announced the launch of the country's first private super specialty mental health hospital exclusively focused on inpatient care for moderate to severe psychiatric disorders. Located in Thanisandra, Bangalore, this state-of-the-art facility strengthens Amaha's commitment to delivering evidence-based, trauma-informed psychiatric care rooted in compassion and clinical excellence.

Expanding a Trusted Mental Health Network

With over 40,000 clients served across its outpatient centres in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi, Amaha's new 27-bed hospital is purpose-built to offer acute care for conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, treatment-resistant depression, and deaddiction.

The facility is led by Dr. Amit Malik, Founder & CEO of Amaha and UK-trained psychiatrist, and Neha Kirpal, Co-founder and global mental health ambassador. Together, they've built a platform that integrates digital, outpatient, and now inpatient support systems, making Amaha the largest private mental healthcare service in India.

"Over the last nine years, Amaha has grown into India's foremost and largest super specialty mental healthcare service, driven by a commitment to clinical excellence and best quality care experience. This journey has been
both professional and deeply personal for me, not just as a psychiatrist trained in the UK who has helped set up and run services across global systems, but also as a carer. I know first-hand what families go through during periods of acute psychiatric distress, and what's truly needed in a hospital environment that supports both recovery and hope.," said Dr. Malik.
