We began offering therapy and psychiatric sessions, workshops, and webinars under the Namaste Psychology name. The experience our founders already had gave us credibility early on, and people started choosing us for their mental health needs. As our services grew, so did our team: we brought in young professionals and student interns to help carry the work forward.
In 2022, we launched our first Mental Health Drive, an initiative to bring mental health conversations beyond our existing clients and out into the wider community. A few cafes across Pune backed the idea right away, and over three days at three different locations, we talked to people, answered their questions, and ran activities built around one simple belief: sometimes a conversation is all it takes to shift a mindset. The response was strong enough that the Drive is now an annual tradition.
Around the same time, we started designing our own mental health merchandise in-house: totes, badges, and quotes to start, now grown into a line of over ten products meant to support people's everyday mental health. Every purchase helps fund sliding-scale therapy for people who need it but couldn't otherwise afford it.
