Amit Burman, chairman of fast-moving consumer goods firm Dabur, has invested in No Worry No Tension Healthcare as part of the startup’s pre-Series A round.

The Economic Times first reported the development.

Increasing stress among people due to the coronavirus outbreak has made such startups more relevant, Burman told the publication.

The amount was not disclosed.

The startup, launched by psychiatrist Sandeep Vohra in 2011, uses artificial intelligence to measure the emotional wellness of any person. 

Burman has in the past made several investments including food and beverage company Lite Bite Foods Pvt. Ltd.
