Nikhil, 14yrs

The design thinking workshop was life-changing. Learning to manage my emotions helped me avoid arguments, especially with my brother, and now I always pause before reacting. The meditation session made me more aware of who I am and what I want to achieve, and the health session inspired me to cut back on junk food, even keeping a 'junk journal' to stay on track.

Being part of this community has been an incredible experience. This wasn’t just another course—it was a space where teenagers came together and connected. Starting my Sundays with these sessions was the best! Mitra, our mentor, wasn’t like others. He truly motivated us to be more open and active. Whether we shared something we’d accomplished, like reading a book or going swimming, he always encouraged us. This course helped me understand myself better, especially regarding emotions. I’ve learned to question why I feel a certain way, which has helped me get to the root of many things. Thanks to a session inspired by the Bhagavad Gita, I also started being more mindful of my diet, and my days have become way more productive.

I recently attended a design thinking workshop inspired by the Bhagavad Gita. It was one of the best workshops I’ve ever attended! We covered so much, from managing emotions to building vision charts and staying focused on our goals—taking just one step daily. Our mentor understood teenage life and made everything engaging, even using verses from the Bhagavad Gita to explain things. We bonded very quickly as a group, and I feel healthier, more motivated, and more confident about the future. I’m genuinely becoming a better version of myself.

Bhavya Sri, 17 yrs

Right from the first session, it broke all my assumptions. I assumed it would be a boring session with an old teacher forcing us to learn things. But this workshop was about how to use its lessons in real life. The best part? Everyone, including the mentor, was a teenager, so we could really relate to each other! I honestly can’t pick just one favourite part of the workshop because everything was so good. But if I had to choose, the sessions on relationships were really the best.

As a young adult, these sessions really boosted my energy levels. Being surrounded by teens motivated me, making me believe that if they could do it, so could I. Their enthusiasm pushed me to work harder, especially when they started looking up to me, making me feel responsible to set a good example for the next generation. The teen-focused nature of the sessions also made me reflect on my own teenage years, validating many of my past actions and decisions. Having just left my teens, I now feel a sense of clarity about how I should conduct myself in the coming years. I enjoy leaning Design Thinking with how Mitra guided us in proper decision-making. Over the course of the 9 weeks, these sessions have been an incredible experience, and I'm immensely grateful to be part of this wonderful community. The inspiring teens around me continually push me to achieve my best.

The design thinking course was ABSOLUTELY flawless, from start to finish. Mitra touched upon every aspect of teenage and I loved how absolutely relatable, raw and unfiltered it was. The sessions were practical solutions to our daily struggles. I would like to think of design thinking as a really essential 21st century skill, and learning this skill from you was a gift. Thank you for making the sessions both informative and entertaining. You have formed a highly motivational group that I can come to it at any point of time to discuss my problems, thank you for this safe space.

Thank you so so much for being better than the best teen-mentor we could've asked for.

Madhurima More, 14

Thank you so much, Mitra, for your lovely sessions. I would say that I have learnt so many things and brought changes to my routine. They truly inspired me, and through little things, they made a huge impact on me; the way I used to see myself has totally changed from now to then. The way I think now has completely changed.

Arya Waikar, 12

First, I would like to thank Mitra a lot for conducting such an amazing course and, of course, the beautiful sessions... Teenage life is full of tough roads, so sometimes it is di icult to go through them, and I’m grateful to have a mentor like you who was always there to help me and clear all my doubts ( sorry if I had bored you while asking questions) Presentation style, doubt discussion, and real-life information made these 9 weeks the most memorable weeks in my life... at first I thought it would be a boring course..it's gonna be teaching and I would not enjoy it ( I even got angry on my mom for getting me enrolled) but trust me it was completely opposite... I enjoyed it so much that _time kaise beet gya pata hi ni chala_

Also I’m waiting for more courses and workshops like this...

Prachi Vyas, Mother of One

The sessions were intense, and the way you guided us through this design thinking journey with your articulate thoughts was genuinely remarkable. I'm excited for more workshops like this one. Grateful, Mitra Malani.

Vineet Mishra, 20 yrs

Mitra Malani, it was a fantastic workshop! The best part was the activity about seeing your future self. I had never done it before, but I got some good visuals and a peaceful experience. So thank you, and I will be waiting for the following workshops to be held soon.

Amoda Konda, 13

The workshop was awesome! Thank you so much! I've been observing my tiny decisions today and the why behind them. I’ve understood that I must continue doing this throughout to achieve my goals. I've observed that many of my decisions are automated, and thinking about them will definitely help. Thank you again.

Akshith Jatling, 15 yrs

These sessions changed my view of the world, and I really made better decisions. As a teen, deciding what's best for me is really tough. Before, I couldn't choose between junk and healthy, but now I am on a no ca eine and no sugar diet. I eat three meals a day and exercise every day. I also read books, think more before talking, and know my emotions. Even adults sometimes don't understand their emotions and lose their temper, but as a teen, I can understand my emotions better because of these sessions. I am looking forward to more sessions like this by Mitra.

Tarini V, 14 yrs

The workshop was great and fun. It was helpful as I started realizing the more significant aspects of life. It really gave me more perspective on how to plan my future and what to do for a successful, healthy, and happy life. Thank you so much, Mitra and your entire team, for planning the workshop and presenting it in a beautiful manner.

Agastya Gupta, 12 yrs

I must say it was a great workshop. I made so many good friends, a great mentor, and my friend Mitra (bhaiya). The sessions were prompt and fun to understand. Also, everyone's participation, excitement, and motivation made the workshop glow. I request Mitra to please bring more of these kinds of workshops.

Jayesh Parecha, 13 yrs
