Hi I'm Smitha, co-founder of MyndStories.

In April 2021, I went through a harrowing time with Covid. That experience and the resultant spiraling anxiety and trauma made me realize just how much I had taken mental health for granted.

It's then I started to build India's first inclusive mental health content-first platform to make us understand everything we can about our minds. The result is MyndStories - India's first content and storytelling platform for mental health.

With MyndStories, we are making mental health conversations cool. I believe that stories have the power to heal, inspire, and transform lives.

I have worked with content all my life (20+ years now!) and also spent a few years teaching in China.

I am the author of an epistolary memoir, 'Worlds Apart.' I write for Deccan Herald, BluePrint Review, Eshe Magazine, Hippocampus Magazine, Kitaab, and more. My first novel, 'The Star Whisperer' is due for publication.
