We are amidst an en-during impact of mental & emotional instability. People focus a lot on building a great body but underestimate the importance of a calm mind and intellect. According to a recent report by WHO, one in every seven faces mental & emotional criticalities. It is high time these are addressed and an equable, healthy mind is nurtured for every-one. Aligned to this, the young Satvik Agarwal who was following the teachings and philosophies of Swami Vivekananda was inspired to do something for holistic well-being for youngsters. His passion was always inclined towards entrepreneurship. Though he pursued Bachelors in CS (Data Science) from the UW, Seattle, and got an offer at Goldman Sachs at New York, deep down, he knew that his heart was in India. Eventually, with an idea of redefining the wellness space with the concept of ancient Indian teachings and philosophy of interactions, he launched Konsciously.

The platform is a well-being & skill development app to develop life skills & transform inner-self through real-time interactive podcasts, articles, and tasks. "We at Konsciously, believe that true well-being is not merely meditation and spirituality. To live a wholesome life, one needs to have a good workplace mind, a good personal development oriented mind, and a spiritually curious mind as well," says Satvik Agarwal, Founder & CEO.

That is exactly what we are trying to tap into," he concludes.
