DhyanApp is built around traditional Indian contemplative systems and presents dhyana, pranayama, mantra and yoga as connected disciplines with their own structure, lineage and progression. The platform brings practice resources and a community of seekers together in one place, with the aim of providing more accessible and structured access to people across locations and languages.
Artificial intelligence forms an integral part of DhyanApp’s approach. The platform uses AI to personalise yoga, Ayurveda and spiritual guidance according to a practitioner’s level, constitution and stage of practice. It also uses optical character recognition and AI audio processing to digitise traditional Indian scriptures at scale and make the material available in 15 languages.
The initiative is intended to widen access to source material while retaining the context and progression central to the traditions represented by the platform.
For REAN Care Foundation (India), the investment aligns with its charitable objects. The Foundation said structured access to contemplative practice can be uneven, often concentrated in particular institutions, cities and languages. By supporting a platform available on a phone and in a practitioner’s own language, the Foundation seeks to extend the same principle it applies across its work: putting useful tools directly in people’s hands.
The collaboration will focus on personalised yoga, Ayurveda and spiritual guidance through the platform’s AI capabilities, continued digitisation of traditional Indian scriptures using OCR and AI audio processing, translation and availability of the growing corpus across 15 languages, and expansion of the practice library and pathways for community programmes and practitioner groups.
The Foundation’s Board recorded that the investment is expected to promote and facilitate the activities of the investee company and thereby advance the Foundation’s charitable and not-for-profit objectives. As a Section 8 company, no returns from the investment will be distributed as profit; any proceeds will be redeployed towards the Foundation’s charitable objects.
“Wellbeing is something a person builds daily over years. Access to good instruction for the inner life remains thin outside a few cities and institutions. DhyanApp puts that instruction on a phone, in the practitioner’s own language. That reflects the principle we apply to everything we support: useful tools in people’s hands, wherever they live,” said the leadership of REAN Care Foundation (India).
Praveen Vasireddy, Director, REAN Care Foundation (India), said, “These practices were never meant to be received in the same form by everyone. A teacher watches the student and offers what that student is ready for. Our work is to make that individual attention more accessible while remaining faithful to the source material. Bringing scriptures into more languages is intended to return them to a wider community of readers.”
