Give Me Five mental fitness platform launches in India
Global tool for early stress detection debuts in Hyderabad with live demos.
MUMBAI: Give Me Five just gave mental fitness a high-five because when your mind needs a quick check-up, even the app shows up faster than your inner critic. Give Me Five, a global mental fitness platform focused on early detection and proactive wellbeing, was officially launched in India at a special event at The Park Hotel, Somajiguda, Hyderabad. Founded by Brendan Fahey (30 years years building community solutions in human services), Dr Lisa Fahey OAM (35+ years as a trauma-recovery psychologist) and Phil Dymock (technology lead for expansion across the US, Canada, Australia and now India), the platform encourages small, consistent check-ins to spot early signs of stress, anxiety or burnout before they escalate.
The launch featured a live demonstration of core features, quick mental fitness assessments, data-driven personal insights, wellbeing dashboards, and tools tailored for individuals, workplaces, schools and communities. By making early awareness simple and accessible, Give Me Five aims to foster supportive environments where people feel equipped to act sooner rather than later.
Give Me Five co-founder Brendan Fahey said, “Give Me Five was created with a simple idea that small, consistent check-ins can make a meaningful difference in how we understand and support mental fitness. By making early detection accessible through technology, we hope to empower individuals, organisations, and communities to recognise challenges sooner and build stronger systems of care and support.”
The platform arrives as mental health conversations in India gain urgency, with rising awareness of workplace stress, student burnout and everyday emotional load. Give Me Five positions itself as a preventive companion less about crisis response and more about daily maintenance for the mind.
In a world that tracks every step and heartbeat, Give Me Five quietly reminds us the most important metric is still how we feel—and sometimes all it takes is five minutes and a honest pause to keep the balance from tipping.

World Public Summit opens in Delhi with focus on shared future
global leaders gather to shape cooperation, values and future world order
NEW DELHI: World Public Summit India 2026 has officially opened in the capital, placing India at the centre of a global conversation on cooperation, values and the future of a rapidly changing world order.
Hosted at the Hyatt Regency from March 23 to 26, the summit has drawn a wide mix of policymakers, business leaders, scholars and civil society voices. Organised by the World Peoples Assembly and the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the gathering marks the first chapter of a year-long global dialogue set to travel across regions including Latin America, Africa, Europe and the Arab world.
India’s role as host reflects its rising influence in a multipolar world, with its growing presence across multilateral platforms and its BRICS presidency adding weight to the conversations unfolding in Delhi. The tone is clear. Dialogue, collaboration and shared values are taking centre stage.
Among the notable voices at the summit are Sameep Shastri, deputy chairman at the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sergey Cheryomin, minister of the Moscow government, Raksha Khadse, minister of sports and youth affairs, Oleg Skripochka, cosmonaut and Hero of the Russian Federation, and Parul Mahajan, media entrepreneur.
Over four days, discussions span themes ranging from cultural diplomacy and ethical economics to the role of media in shaping global narratives and the importance of youth and women’s leadership. Sessions also explore how tradition and innovation can work together in building sustainable futures, with even space cooperation entering the conversation as a shared frontier.
World Peoples Assembly chairman of the general council Svetlana Smirnova, captured the spirit of the summit, noting that a new world is emerging, shaped by dialogue, trust and shared values.
The summit is expected to conclude with the Delhi Declaration, a strategic roadmap aimed at strengthening global partnerships and guiding future cooperation. As the first in a wider global series, the event signals India’s growing role not just as a participant, but as a convener in shaping conversations that look well beyond borders.
