At first, it was the parents who noticed.'We've never seen a model autism framework like this. We need this everywhere.'And then — something shifted.In a Times of India National Spotlight (2020) full-page feature titled 'Spreading Smiles Like a Dash of Sunshine', Pinnacle was honoured as South India's Best Autism Therapy Network.But the real headline wasn't the award; it was the editorial remark that followed:'This isn't a centre. This is a movement — led by science, soul, and systems.'Dr. Sreeja Reddy Saripalli received the Praxis Media Women Leadership Award (2021), symbolising the spirit of the campaign, rooted in a social movement: a national therapy model built by mothers, run by women, and scaled by systems.YourStory Entrepreneur Spotlight (2023) profiled Pinnacle not as a startup but as a public health framework: AI-enabled, mother-powered, scalable without sacrificing humanity.These institutional recognitions validated something never seen before in global child development:Stanford, Heidelberg, Singapore Institute of Mental Health have already reached out requesting academic collaborations, while Ministries from Nepal, the UAE, Kenya, and Bangladesh have inquired about AbilityScore® licensing. That's not all. UNICEF has invited Pinnacle to present the Pinnacle Global Autism Framework. Meanwhile, WHO-SEARO has referenced TherapeuticAI® in its emerging frameworks for tech-integrated early intervention.Pinnacle's name has also begun appearing in UN development drafts on global childhood health, AI policy whitepapers such as, and mother-led economic innovation summits as a blueprint for health systems built from the ground up. All these instances further indicate the rise of Pinnacle as a growing reference architecture.Recognition didn't make Pinnacle real.But it made the world pause and realise what India had done.Pinnacle's new child development playbook for the planet:The world is ready to learn from it.If autism therapy were only about diagnosis, then software could solve it.If it were only about compassion, then goodwill would be enough.But therapy, real therapy, is a mix of diagnosis and compassion.It is precision with empathy. Structure with soul. Intelligence that listens.And that is whyworks, as it wasn't built from policy whitepapers or VC slides; rather, from India's reality. Hence, it is designed to last.The world doesn't speak one language.Pinnacle functions in 133+ regional, national, and international languages, with therapy protocols tailored to:From Hyderabad to Hosur, Miryalaguda to Mumbai, Chennai to Karimnagar, children are not asked to 'adjust'; instead, the Pinnacle therapy system adjusts to them.Because a word in English isn't the same as a glance in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil,... And therapy doesn't work if the child doesn't feel understood.Most models collapse outside metros.Pinnacle grows stronger in India's second and third-tier cities.Why?Because it is:This isn't a Western model adapted to India. It's an Indian model; built for India and ready for the world.In most systems, inclusion is an initiative.In Pinnacle, inclusion is the infrastructure.Could it work in:Because this system doesn't depend on bandwidth or budget.It depends onBecause it is not a compromise.It is not a copy.It is aDesigned in India.Led by mothers.Built for every child the world forgot to include.For decades, the Global South was cast as the recipient of solutions.Ideas flowed downward — from labs in the West to clinics in the East.Packaged. Priced. Poorly translated. Often impractical.But Pinnacle in India didn't wait for an imported blueprint.It built one.And now, the world isn't responding with charity.It's responding with respect.In Kenya, only 3 government-certified child therapists serve 6 million children.In Indonesia, autism remains cloaked in stigma, whispered but rarely addressed.In rural Peru, speech delay is often diagnosed four years too late — if at all.These regions and the whole world don't need imported solutions.They need a replicable framework.And that's what Pinnacle offers.This isn't just 'Made in India.'But Built for the World of 90+ crore children and families🛤️Pinnacle isNot to aTo aNot to a transaction.To aA Multilingual, mother-driven, AI-powered ecosystem —To Ministries of Health.To Heads of State.To UNICEF and WHO.To diaspora educators.To mother networks in Nairobi and Manila.To health secretariats in São Paulo and Abu Dhabi.Every child, regardless of race, religion region, deserves more than a diagnosis.They deserve a map to navigate.Here is Pinnacle's open pledge of partnership:

Pro-poor schemes made healthcare affordable: Shah
Bengaluru: Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government for its "holistic" approach in addressing health issues faced by the public. He was speaking after inaugurating the Adichunchanagiri University (ACU) Bengaluru campus. "Our leader and PM Modi had said several years ago in Gujarat that poverty's biggest issue is illness, and the cost of treatment; the administration has to provide for the treatment of illness for the poor. I can say with pride today that Modi, when he became the PM , has fulfilled it by providing 60 crore poor with free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh," Shah said. The Modi government has addressed the problem of health with a holistic view, with initiatives like building toilets in about 12 crore houses, through Fit India movement , Yoga Day, Mission Indradanush and Poshan Abhiyaan, Ayushman Bharat , and Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana, he added. "In a way, it is being ensured that a citizen doesn't fall ill from the time he/she is in the mother's womb until the person becomes a complete citizen, and in case the person is ill, he takes treatment without paying a higher price for it," he added. Major efforts were taken to increase the number of doctors in the country, Shah said. In 2014, the country had 7 AIIMS, and today there are 23 AIIMS, and the number of medical colleges has increased from 387 to 780. "There were 51,000 MBBS seats then (2014), today it is 1,18,000, and the number of PG seats was 31,000, today it is 74,000.," he added.

Yoga taking roots in Zimbabwe for ‘mental wellness'
It's before sunrise on a Saturday (June 21, 2025) and a small group has gathered at Socialite Bar in on the outskirts of Zimbabwe's capital. Instead of nursing hangovers, they sit with eyes closed and bodies in meditative poses on the bare floor. International Yoga Day LIVE updates: 'It's not an ordinary feat that 175 nations adopted Yoga in just 11 years': PM Modi It's an unlikely setting for a yoga class. In Zimbabwe, the practice is rare and mostly found in the wealthy suburbs. Yet it is quietly taking root here in a beer tavern in Chitungwiza, a low-income town 30 km outside the capital, Harare. The initiative is led by Actions Winya, a yoga instructor who saw how economic hardship and social pressures were damaging the mental health of people in his hometown. 'Yoga is expensive... but we also got humans in the ghetto. They need mental wellness,' said Winya, who usually teaches in affluent areas, charging between $30 and $100 a month. That's an impossible cost for most, especially in a country where many survive through informal jobs. Since 2023, Winya has been offering free weekend classes to some of those hardest hit by Zimbabwe's economic problems. The sessions have become a source of relief for people navigating relentless challenges. Authorities acknowledge a growing societal crisis worsened by drug abuse, domestic violence and poverty, compounded by a shortage of public health services and therapists. 'I am a coach, so they bring the stuff that they face within families (to me). This is where we come in and say, Guys, come and try yoga, it can help somehow,'' Winya said. Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, has become a multibillion-dollar industry and a daily ritual for millions around the world. The United Nations over a decade ago designated June 21 as International Day of Yoga. In Africa, other countries like Kenya and South Africa are introducing yoga to poorer communities, with the Indian government promoting its spread across the continent. Inside the tavern in Zimbabwe, mellow music played as about a dozen participants moved through poses. They had no mats, just a cold brick floor, but plenty of determination for inner peace. One mother tried to stay focused as her toddler dashed around, disrupting her poses. For 47-year-old John Mahwaya, the practice has been transforming. A father of four, he also supports relatives in the countryside, a responsibility he said once weighed heavily on his mental health. 'My head was always spinning. I thought I was losing my mind, and the stress started causing back pains,' he said. 'Yoga helps me relax and clear my mind. I sleep peacefully these days.' He said many Zimbabwean men bottle up their emotions, afraid to show weakness in a highly patriarchal society that prizes toughness. 'We focus on physical fitness, forgetting the mind,' he said. 'We suffer slowly, but what suffers first is the mind, and from there, it becomes a slow death.' Edinah Makosa, 24, joined the class earlier this year and said it gave her hope. 'I used to be depressed a lot. You know, for people my age, our main stressors are unemployment and relationships,' she said. 'Yoga changed my mindset. I used to think negatively all the time. Now I have started selling beauty products to earn a living. As for romance, well if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. I no longer stress about men. I go with the flow.' As they practiced, the sounds of township life seeped in. Taxi drivers shouted for passengers. Vendors pushed carts, calling out to potential customers. 'We need a proper environment and studio. But we are trying,' Winya said. For participants like Mahwaya, the location didn't matter nearly as much as the healing. 'We need to promote yoga in the communities because everyone has a mind. And fitness of the mind is the responsibility of everyone, regardless of where you live,' he said.
