Saagara, the meditation technology start-up based in Ann Arbor, is launching a new platform that will allow its users to meditate in unison.
See & Do Together is a mobile app that allows users of Saagara's technology to meditate together, similar to the way people interact online in a chat room. The company is also launching an
Indiegogo campaign to help fund the platform's launch.
"We really wanted people to take part and experience parts of it," says Dr. Bobby Peddi, CEO of
Saagara. "So we made it so people can do it together."
The Kerrytown-based start-up provides a holistic approach to better health, centered around a breathing technique called Pranayama. Dr. Peddi started the company shortly after he left his surgical residency about four years ago. It currently employs a team of 11 employees and two interns after hiring four people in the last year, including a new CTO.
Saagara is also looking to move its business to a full-on subscription model. The firm is also looking at launching a stress-reduction program for businesses to provide to their employees later this year.
