Dr. Shruti has been honored with the prestigious ‘Promising Voice in Mental Health’ award, presented by the Golden Future Global Seva Foundation and the Moard Foundation, in collaboration with the King’s Book of World Records, at the INPACT 2025 – International Peace & Talent Awards. The ceremony took place on 18th September 2025 at Telugu University, Hyderabad, coinciding with the global observance of World Peace Day. This recognition highlights her exceptional contribution, dedication, and unwavering commitment to promoting awareness about mental health issues and guiding individuals on how to address them effectively. The award is not only a reflection of her professional excellence but also an acknowledgment of her mission to break the silence surrounding mental health and to encourage people to seek help without hesitation.
For more than ten years, Dr. Shruti has been working tirelessly in the field of counseling and mental health awareness. Her journey has been filled with compassion, research, and hands-on experience with individuals of all ages. She has successfully aided thousands of people, from children facing academic stress and peer pressure to adults struggling with workplace burnout and elderly individuals coping with isolation. Her counseling sessions are widely respected for their empathetic and personalized approach, aimed not at offering temporary solutions but at building long-term resilience.
Through her work, she has emphasized the importance of strengthening mindsets by instilling belief and confidence in individuals. Her philosophy has always been that mental health is as important as physical health, and just as people seek doctors, lawyers, or financial experts for their needs, they should also feel free to consult professionals for mental well-being. By drawing this comparison, she has helped many people overcome the stigma that often prevents them from reaching out for help.
Dr. Shruti’s recognition as a ‘Promising Voice in Mental Health’ comes after years of consistent advocacy and practical work. Beyond her counseling practice, she has been actively involved in awareness programs, workshops, and seminars where she speaks about identifying signs of distress, encouraging peer support, and the need for professional intervention. She has worked closely with schools, colleges, and workplaces to build mental health awareness campaigns, ensuring that young students and professionals alike understand the importance of emotional well-being.
Her journey has not been without challenges. When she began more than a decade ago, mental health was often misunderstood or dismissed. People hesitated to speak openly about depression, anxiety, or stress, considering it a sign of weakness. However, her persistent efforts, along with those of other professionals in the field, have contributed to a changing mindset in society. Today, mental health is discussed more openly, and counseling is increasingly seen as a proactive step toward self-care. This award acknowledges her role in bringing about this positive transformation.
Humbly dedicating the honor, Dr. Shruti expressed her gratitude by saying, “I dedicate this award to every individual who has made it their life’s determination to overcome mental health issues. Thank you for making me a ‘Promising Voice in Mental Health.’” Her words reflect her belief that the courage of individuals who choose to address their mental health challenges is as significant as the guidance provided by professionals. She sees her recognition not only as a personal achievement but also as a collective victory for everyone who has fought to break the stigma around mental health.
Her deep personal motivation adds another layer of inspiration to her story. Mental health is not merely a professional focus for her but a cause close to her heart. She has devoted countless hours to studying human behavior, resilience, and therapy techniques, always with the goal of refining her methods and tailoring them to the needs of those who come to her. Her vision for the future is clear: to expand the reach of mental health services, normalize therapy as an everyday practice, and contribute to building a society where compassion and emotional well-being are given as much importance as academic or professional success.
For Dr. Shruti, this award is not an endpoint but a new beginning. To her, the recognition symbolizes ten years of hard work and resilience, but it also carries a responsibility to continue her mission with renewed energy. She sees it as encouragement to push boundaries further, explore new therapeutic approaches, and inspire more individuals to take ownership of their mental health journey. “Every individual has their own journey, and mine has been an extremely rewarding one. After years of learning and research, the topic of mental health is close to my heart, and I aim to keep progressing in this area to build a more compassionate society,” she shared.
The honor given to Dr. Shruti at INPACT 2025 is more than just a personal accolade; it shines a spotlight on the larger cause of mental health. It underscores the importance of professionals who dedicate themselves to healing minds and raising awareness. Her story is an inspiration not only for fellow counselors and mental health advocates but also for those who may still be hesitant to seek support. It sends a powerful message that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a step toward strength.
Dr. Shruti’s journey embodies the values of resilience, compassion, and commitment. Her recognition as a ‘Promising Voice in Mental Health’ at the INPACT 2025 – International Peace & Talent Awards, presented by the Golden Future Global Seva Foundation and the Moard Foundation in collaboration with the King’s Book of World Records, reaffirms her role as an inspiring figure in the ongoing global movement to prioritize mental health and emotional well-being.
