About us

We didn't start with a business idea.
We started with a question.

unTaboo wasn't born in a boardroom, an incubator, or a startup pitch deck. It began over dinner at a renowned sexologist's home in Mumbai — and one phone call changed everything.

Chapter 01

The night everything changed

The plates were set. Conversations flowing. Then the doctor received a call. He stood up, looked concerned, and said just one sentence before leaving the table.

That man attempted suicide.

Suicide? Why? Because the patient was suffering from Erectile Dysfunction.

That night, we — the founders of unTaboo — couldn't sleep. Like most people, we had assumed sexual health problems were relatively straightforward: a prescription, a pill, a quick fix. How could it actually make someone think of, let alone attempt, taking their own life?

We started reading, researching, speaking to professionals. And we discovered something far more troubling:

  • Not just medical problems, but stigma, silence, misinformation, and exploitation.
  • People living in shame, avoiding relationships, losing confidence — struggling with depression and, in some cases, severe emotional distress.

Chapter 02

What we found, undercover

To understand the reality of sexual healthcare in India, we enrolled in psychosexual medicine programs, studied the field extensively, and spent a month visiting clinics across the NCR and Punjab — as undercover patients.

  • Clinics making exaggerated claims and selling fear
  • Treatments prescribed before proper diagnosis
  • Establishments focused on expensive packages over understanding the patient
  • Vulnerability being monetized at every turn
In one clinic, we were pressured into paying ₹30,000 in the name of "counselling" before receiving any meaningful clinical guidance. It was a hard time escaping that "crime" scene. The further we investigated, the clearer the pattern became: patients were vulnerable, and vulnerability was often being monetized.

Chapter 03

The new-age alternatives weren't different enough

We expected modern health-tech startups to be different. Some were. Many weren't. A large share of the industry conversation revolved around growth metrics, customer acquisition, valuations, branding — far less around a simpler question: is the patient actually getting better?

Healthcare isn't a customer-acquisition problem. It's a human problem. And sexual health is one of the most emotionally sensitive areas of healthcare there is. We believed patients deserved more than good marketing — they deserved good treatment and care.

How we approach sexual health

We believe sustainable improvement requires understanding the root cause of a problem, not just managing symptoms. Our clinical philosophy rests on five principles.

i.

Evidence Before Assumptions

Every recommendation is backed by science, clinical experience, and patient-specific assessment.

ii.

Diagnosis Before Treatment

A treatment plan begins only after understanding the underlying cause.

iii.

Privacy Without Judgment

Sexual health concerns deserve the same confidentiality and professionalism as any other condition.

iv.

Long-Term Outcomes Over Quick Fixes

Real recovery often needs medical, psychological, lifestyle, nutritional, and behavioural work together.

v.

People Before Profit

Clinical decisions are guided by patient welfare — never by sales targets.
