Who are you? Given where you are today, what was the most challenging experience you have had so far and how have you changed the situation around? (If you have struggled with mental health, please do share, so that someone like you could be inspired).

I'm Samarth. The biggest challenge was to have the courage to start something of my own. I eventually just went with my gut feel and didn't listen to any criticism that I faced at the time. Usually, entrepreneurship is a path riddled with self-doubt, but one has to be confident with the idea they have. I'm glad I stuck to my decision.

Your mental health journey and how much has it impacted you in your life choices and decisions?

There have been ups and downs but it has been a journey where I have learned about issues relating to mental health. Since this is a topic on which there is not a lot of awareness, I can say I have been a victim of ignorance in the past. However, I strive to learn more about experiences with mental health, to cultivate empathy and be non-judgmental. I always had this conundrum about where is the next client or business going to come from. But you need a system to ground you (faith, family, friends) and help you to push through.

Your tips and guidance for anyone reading this

It's okay not to feel okay. It's acceptable to take medication. Just like we pay attention to our physical health, we must engage in mental hygiene. Look up neural networks and how to snap them, especially negative ones. Also, we are energetic beings with positive energy radiating through us. Embracing gratitude helps you increase your frequency, and happiness is a choice.
