In 2021, Ira announced the launch of this foundation through a social media post. In the video clip, she said, "I have registered a Section 8 company, called Agatsu Foundation, which launches today. Agatsu is my attempt of trying to find a balance, of trying to attain equilibrium, to make my life better for me and facilitate you making your life better in whichever way. Come check us out."

Ira had previously shared her experience with depression on social media, trying to spread awareness on mental health. Ira has been vocal about her mental health issues, and with 'Agatsu Foundation', she aimed to help the ones in need, especially during these tough times.

Touted as a judgment-free space, 'Agatsu' started with offline services. The foundation has a warmline, an anonymous and moderated forum, along with a directory of screened mental health professionals and an apprenticeship for licensed professionals, to provide the help needed.

Ira got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Nupur Shikhare, on November 18, 2022 in presence of close friends and family members.
