Shreya Giri on Forbes’ list of influential people under 30

Shreya Giri, who’s 28 and from Kathmandu, made it onto Forbes magazine’s list of influential young people in Asia. She’s being recognized for her work in helping others with mental health issues through her project, Happy Minds.

During her studies in London, the Covid-19 pandemic hit, and she struggled with her own mental health. When she couldn’t find online counseling services, she decided to create Happy Minds back in Nepal. Now, Happy Minds offers workshops, group sessions, and counseling, both online and in person, to anyone who needs it, no matter where they are in the world.
