What is going to be the next phase in terms of being able to create this ecosystem, build this ecosystem out so that you can do more, get into more states, get into more, more districts? What will it take to do that? Is it a resource issue? Is it a capital issue? This option D all of the above. But no, I mean on a serious note, I think it is going to take a lot. The initial plan was really for us to have a successful model in place as it should be with anything that you want to scale. So the initial, you know, five to seven years we spent on building our model, testing it out in the field, you know, learning from some of those mistakes the minute that happened and the first geography that we actually scaled back from or geography that attained self. Sustainability was Davangere in Karnataka. So the minute we did that, home much closer to home, easier to manage, but we were able to actually successfully transition the program back to the community. And I think that gave us a lot of confidence to be able to then scale to other districts, which is why, you know, we’re sitting here in Chandara today and and you know, all of the different districts and states that you mentioned a couple of factors that it would take for us to, you know, scale further firstly. The ability to find reliable good on ground partners and and you know, touch with so far we’ve been quite lucky in that sense. We’ve had some fantastic partners, including over here locally. These partners live and reside in the community. They’re based on ground and then they sort of help us create that rapport with the community. Capital of course is something that you mentioned. So I must sort of plug that in there if I can plug, plug fundraising. Easier to raise funds. I would say it got a little bit easier. Unfortunately, after COVID, I’m seeing unfortunate, because it’s unfortunate that we had to have something like Kobe. Yeah, we had to go through a pandemic for people to recognize, realize and recognize it. It’s gotten a little bit better. I think just in order of priority, education sort of still remains the number one, at least where CSR is concerned. And even within healthcare. Healthcare is probably #2 in my opinion, within healthcare, mental health is still lower down the rung, but maybe after COVID. This, you know, sort of sort of risen up. So it’s going to take, you know, a lot of these factors outside of that just sort of our own ability to scale. But I think most importantly. Creating that model that we have for people to be able to replicate, whether it’s live, love, laugh or any, or any other organization. I think the ultimate, ultimate aim would be for this model to also be used outside of mental health. Because the core of what it is, is a community based model, which exists, of course, in any rural area or geography. And so hopefully, you know, we can crack it further away. Mental health is concerned and then apply it, use it or health related. Absolutely. And there’s no reason to have to reinvent the wheel. Over and over again.
