Founder’s Note – The NIYA Story
Eight years ago, in Pondicherry, we, two individuals from different parts of the country, found ourselves collaborating in a professional setting. Quickly we discovered a shared passion for mental health and a mutual vision for an accessible, ethical, and high-quality holistic care system. This was the moment the journey of Niya truly began.
The name “Niya,” derived from the Sanskrit term meaning intention and purpose, resonated deeply with us. It symbolizes our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the world of mental health care. Fueled by our personal experiences and an unwavering desire for positive change, we took the step forward. By 2023, our dream started to materialize, expanding from a shared passion to a dedicated team of six.
With Niya as our compass, we are driven by intention, compassion, and the endless possibilities that arise when we care deeply.
