After working in the media for ten years, Nikhil Taneja, a writer, producer, and mental health advocate from Mumbai, founded Yuvaa, a youth-focused media and impact organisation, with ease. Taneja, who was well-known for producing innovative digital content at Yash Raj Films' Y-Films (Bang Baaja Baaraat, 6-Pack Band), changed course after struggling with clinical anxiety and challenging conventional measures of success. In order to address gender and mental health issues among young people in India, he co-founded Yuvaa in 2018. Taneja offered secure forums for young people to talk about their challenges by holding roadshows on 150 campuses. His program, Be A Man, Yaar, promotes candid discussions about mental health and masculinity. Taneja is a prominent voice in youth empowerment and mental health because of his work, which demonstrates the transformative power of storytelling. Source: The Better India, LinkedIn
