By connecting her bad times with normal human emotions and tendencies, Ayusha founded ‘Baatein Ankahee si’ and has brought substantial changes in the lives of several people.

Ayusha Bhajanka is an Author, self-proclaimed Mental Health Advocate and the Founder and Director of an organization called, ‘Baatein Ankahee si’. She started this company in 2019 which provides a safe space to people to vent out their emotions.

Ayusha hails from Guwahati, Assam. She did her schooling from Royal Global School. Then she did her BSW from College of Social Work, Nirmala-Niketan, Mumbai.

When asked about her role models, Ayusha says that she does not draw inspiration from any person other than herself. She always strives to become a better version of herself by improving herself everyday.

Talking about her struggles, Ayusha says she believes that working on mental health issues in India and taking initiative for it is one of the biggest challenges that she faced. She says that because of the stereotypical mindset of society, people are afraid to seek help. Even, instead of taking therapies and treatment for mental health, they find it more appropriate to suffer from it and battle on their own. Her struggle lies with the mindset where people accept their issues but are afraid to do something for that.

Describing her achievements, Ayusha says that even after two years of ‘Baatein Ankahee si’, she still feels the same excitement as she had on its first day and this is an achievement for her. Besides, she has impacted over five-hundred lives and this is a big achievement for her. Also, her online mental health support group program was a big success last year. Besides, her book ‘Unsudden Unspoken’ got a lot of appreciation and applause from people, which is an achievement in itself. Recently, she has started a merchandise store under the name, ‘Hadd Hai’, which is again a big hit.

Ayusha advises everyone to start doing what you want to do without any planning, researching and taking anyone’s advice for it. It is because people will give suggestions based on their experiences, but your experiences will never be the same. So it is better to start your work in your desired field as soon as possible to get the desired result.
