Those 6 months were very challenging Emotional, physically and mentally for the whole family. During that time the family saw a lot of ups and down, but during that phase not knowing what was happening inside her brain, why she was not able to talk to the family or move was something Ria couldn't digest and understand.
It was very difficult to see her in so much pain and not knowing what she is thinking. Unfortunately, things didn’t go good and she passed away in November 2016. The whole family went through trauma and had their own way of dealing with it.
Bhavya is an engineer not only by degree but also by passion. He loves working on gadgets and Technology. He wanted to be an entrepreneur since his days at B.Tech. When Bhavya and Ria were brainstorming ideas they thought of the challenges they faced and after a lot of months of research and efforts by Bhavya, they finalised on developing wearables for the Mental health to start with.

2. How did you come up with this idea and go about executing it?
People talk about mental health without understanding that it is a biological concept, and we have the power to control our brain. Neuroplasticity is a concept which means we can change our brain even at the age of 50 using food, meditation and yoga, and this can be validated using Neufeedback. PankhTech combines these 3 and created Neuphony.
