How Coto Is Reinventing Mental & Emotional Wellness | EP 17 | The Darshana Shah Show
In this episode, we sit down with Tarun Katial, a veteran media CEO who traded the corporate limelight to build Coto, a revolutionary emotional wellness platform. From the "loneliness at the top" in the boardrooms of major media companies to founding a purpose-driven startup, Tarun walks us through his transformative journey. He shares insights on identifying the deep need for safe digital spaces, the pivotal shift from a women's community to a global wellness ecosystem, and the innovative, live-streaming model that sets Coto apart.
Discover the key learnings from his decades in media, the challenges of building a team of tarot readers, energy healers, and AI, and how Coto is tackling modern plagues like ghosting, imposter syndrome, and anxiety by making emotional support accessible, judgment-free, and available 24/7. Whether you're a leader contemplating a pivot, an entrepreneur in the wellness space, or anyone interested in the future of mental health, this episode is packed with invaluable lessons on resilience, listening to your intuition, and building a business that creates genuine happiness.
