A psychologist and professor, Dr. Mahima believes that spiritual equity is much more important than financial equity. Despite her parents' desire for her to become a doctor, she chose to study psychology and was inspired by the best teachers.

Dr. Mahima Thakur teaches at Delhi University's Faculty of Management Studies. She teaches a variety of Business Psychology-related courses and is a Psychologist. She received her master's degree from the University of Allahabad and her doctorate from IIT, Delhi.

Dr. Mahima says that although her parents always pushed her to become a doctor, she had an aversion to the idea because the anatomy department was close to her home and she was afraid of dead bodies. She enjoyed connecting and conversing with others very much. She then went to several departments' seminars and had discussions on Philosophy and History with other students. After that, she went to a psychology class where she studied the various levels of consciousness and gained knowledge about Astang Yog.

Later, she made the decision to major in psychology, and considers herself extremely fortunate to have had the advice of some of the greatest teachers, including Professors RC Tripathi, Janak Pandey, Namrita Pandey, Thappa, Singh, and Verma. Her desire to pursue this career path comes from Professor Naidu. She excelled in the topic in her college as well. She thinks that instead of concentrating on your flaws, it's critical to enhance your strengths.

When asked about her achievements, Dr. Mahima states that becoming a mother is her greatest achievement. Her ability to generate life, shape a personality, and then release that personality into society is a blessing for her. She adds that one accomplishment for her is keeping a healthy balance between her personal and professional lives.

Speaking of her own experiences, Dr. Mahima says she thinks that what truly makes us heroes is the struggles we face. What gives us happiness is the enjoyment that comes from the struggle. She says that when her baby was small she was a homemaker and then later she cleared the NET exam and started her career. She had to carry her infant to the institute at that time, and she had to use buses, thus she had numerous difficulties. She struggled to focus on her profession and raise both her children after becoming pregnant again during her PhD programme.

Speaking about her early years, Dr. Mahima states that her recollections of her time spent as a student at MLN Medical College in Allahabad—where her parents held academic positions—had an impact on her upbringing. Her whole 23-year life was lived on the campus of the medical institution.

Dr. Mahima lists Lord Rama and Mata Sita as her two greatest role models because they teach her to be patient in life. Along with all the Saptrishis who selflessly gave us the Vedas, she lists Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati as her role models.

According to Dr. Mahima, learning is a lifelong process and that everyone may learn from their failures. She makes the error of being too trusting since she is an emotional person. She regrets having naive faith in others. She counsels all women to make the most of the potential that God has given them and to make use of all the resources available. You should take action to contribute back to society if you are in any way able to assist others.

She encourages people to assist needy individuals, mentally challenged children, their moms, and children with disabilities. She believes that in order to help others, it's critical to step outside of your comfort zone and engage with them. She exhorts everyone to consistently provide a helping hand to others.

Dr. Mahima enjoys painting, singing, and playing sports including tennis, squash, and basketball in her free time. She enjoys spending time with kids. To get mental calm, she also reads literature on Maa Parvati and Lord Rama.

Serving the poor instead of wasting your life on material possessions is Dr. Mahima's motto in life. As she puts it, you should work with altruism and constantly provide unselfish assistance to others.
