Our Story
We started because
nobody else did.
HelpYoungIndia is India's first porn addiction awareness and recovery platform — built by young Indians, for young Indians. This is how we got here.
“The lockdown didn't create the problem — it just made it impossible to ignore.”
— HelpYoungIndia Founding Team, 2020
Our Journey
The Realisation
Long before the lockdowns, a few of us — students, young professionals — were quietly watching something disturbing unfold in our circles. Friends who were smart, capable, full of potential were slowly withdrawing. Energy gone. Confidence shattered. Relationships struggling. The common thread? Hours lost to porn every single day. Nobody was talking about it. Nobody had a name for it. We did.
The Breaking Point
Then COVID-19 arrived. India locked down. Overnight, millions of young men — students, college boys, working professionals — were stuck at home with unlimited free time, a smartphone, and zero accountability. Porn site traffic in India didn't just grow. It exploded. One site alone saw 228 million Indian visits a month. The problem that was already spreading quietly now had rocket fuel. We knew we couldn't stay silent anymore.
The Movement Begins
HelpYoungIndia was born — not as a business, but as a mission. A small team of people who had either lived this struggle or watched it destroy someone they loved. We built the first version ourselves. Science-backed articles, real recovery stories, brain rewiring guides. No shame, no lectures — just honest help for young Indian men who wanted to reclaim their lives.
Still Growing
We are India's first dedicated platform for porn addiction awareness and recovery among young men aged 13–25. Thousands of young Indians have found their way to us — some just curious, some in crisis, some already on the other side of recovery and sharing their stories. The journey isn't over. India needs this conversation. We're here to have it.

What we stand for
No Shame
This is a health issue, not a moral failure. We treat it like one.
Real Science
Brain science, dopamine research, peer-reviewed recovery methods — not myths.
For India
Built for the Indian context — our culture, our language, our pressures.
You don't have to
fight this alone.
Thousands of young Indians have already started their journey with us. Start yours today — free, private, judgement-free.
