Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

The idea of UPMYMIND came from the discomfort many of us feel when we reach a stage in our lives when we wonder “what’s next?”

As the school was coming to an end, our Founder Shivyogi Amrute Sahoo and friends had similar concerns about what would life after college be like? They never thought they would have to make life decisions so soon which was terrifying. They wondered How could they deal with real world experiences? Like getting the career of their dreams? Building relationships that were actually good for them, and more? However, what was comforting was the fact that they were not alone. So Shivyogi Amrute Sahoo decided to try a new approach to “TEENAGERS and YOUTH" where SHE gathered with friends and created a safe space for them to discuss these uncomfortable and daunting topics with each other and also give each other advice. Eventually these daily and monthly sessions became more and more popular, friends brought additional friends and realized that they can benefit from the advice that they received from each other.
